Clearwater Fringe Infinity Scarf by Jessica Simpson from Zulily

Zulily is an online store that hosts different and discounted product and brand events every day. Customers sign up to the site to receive a daily email about the deals and offers that are available, and these last for a limited amount of time.  It features pretty and cute products for women and children, including clothing, toys, accessories and homeware.

For the next day or so, items from the Jessica Simpson collection are on the site.  I love this blue, pink and white infinity scarf.  The pattern and colours are gorgeous, but neutral enough that they will go with most outfits.  And the beauty of such a scarf is that one can just put it on without having to worry about how it's tied!  This one is great value - the RRP is £26.18 but it's just £12.36 at Zulily.

Awesome Accessories: Pegasus Scarf from Warehouse

Whatever the weather, a scarf is always a simple but elegant accessory to any outfit.  It can, in fact, replace jewellery to become the focus for any ensemble.  It also is a great way of keeping the breeze at bay in warmer months; it may be too hot to wear a jacket or cardi but too chilly to wear nothing, and a scarf fits the bill nicely.  

As a rule of thumb, I tend to wear patterned scarves with plain coloured clothing and singel coloured scarves with patterned outfits.  However, I have started to throw away the rule book in this respect and have been wearing patterns with patterns - shock!  I think this works best with two colours on the scarf, with at least one being fairly neutral like black or white.  So this gorgeous Pegasus scarf from Warehouse is perfect.  I'd wear it with a brighter outfit, but it would, in fact go with almost any colour combination.  And who can resist the power of Pegasus; he's been a favourite of mine since I was a little girl!  And for a limited time, there's 20% off with the code STYLE20 on all full-priced items on the site.  I think this one will be gone quickly, so snap it up while you can!

Awesome Accessories: Codello Rainbow Rocker Skulls Scarf from mybag.com

I'm really into my scarves at the moment.  Simple yet chic, the benefit of them is that they can jazz up and modernise any outfit by adding colour or fantastic patterns to an otherwise plain ensemble.  No other accessories are needed - the scarf can take centre stage!  I tend to wear patterned scarves with plain, unpatterned clothes or vice versa as I'm not yet brave enough to do the whole clashing patterns thing.  However, I am sure with the right ones this would work really well!

This Codello Rainbow Rocker Skulls scarf from mybag.com is lovely.  The colour provides a feminine and delicate touch but the skull print brings a touch of edginess.   Usually £35, it's £24.50 in the outlet at mybag.com - and there's a 10% off voucher code (OUTLET) which is valid until the 29th May, bringing it down to £22.05.

Divine Collaboration: Celia Birtwell for UNIQLO

Celia Birtwell is a textile designer specialising in unique, striking and feminine designs.  Successful in the 60's and 70's, she's had a massive comeback with her vintage-inspired prints and has collaborated with UNIQLO to produce a gorgeous and reasonably-priced collection.  

Items still available include cotton/modal mix t-shirts at just £12.90 The prints are all fab, but I like this floral horsey one, which is fairly neutral but still pretty.  It's available in sizes XS - XL.
This spotty dress is available in mint green (shown), black or navy in sizes XS - L and has been reduced from £29.90 to £19.90.  This could be worn as a dress or over leggings or jeans.  
And finally, these patterned leggings are fantastic.  They are available in cobalt blue (shown), teal or navy blue in sizes XS - XL and are £14.90.  I would wear a fairly plain long top over them with ballet flats but you could be more creative and avant-garde by combining clashing, flamboyant patterns!


I'm very impressed with this collection, not just because of the range of items available and the superb prices, but that there is so much that is still available.  I find that often, these limited edition collborative collections sell out so quickly, so hats off to UNIQLO for ensuring that this isn't the case this time!
