Paris Hilton: Bluer Than Blue

Paris and her sister Nicky Hilton had caused quite a stir while the two toured France this past month; that’s from Monte Carlo to St. Tropez to be exact. After all, both sisters, Paris in particular, are quite renowned socialites and fashion figures.

Here’s a picture of the two exiting their Parisian hotel last July 14.

As usual, it was Paris who had caught my attention. The heiress probably had a mood for blue that day, hence the outfit and blue LV bag. Despite the blue-ness of it all, the one thing that did quite a job of upping her T-shirt look was the printed blue scarf around her neck. Nice touch!

The scarf by the way, is a Chanel. I have yet to check on the price of that one but I’m sure it is expensive. If getting the look is the idea, you can simply go for these instead:

Miranda Kerr: A Scarf Wearing Newlywed!

It’s official! Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom tied the knot yesterday. The couple had a secret wedding that everyone clearly had no clue about. Well, at least they were able to avoid the nosy photographers and reporters from their special day.

Now on to another Miranda topic. It seems the supermodel has a designated traveling outfit. She was spotted wearing the same thing on two different dates; on both occasions, while traveling. The outfit consisted of a black maxi dress, black ballet flats, and a nice and cozy gray scarf. Seeing that Orlando was present in both occasions, I wonder if he noticed.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing the beauty for using the same thing twice. In fact, I can truly understand why she wore it – it’s super comfortable. Traveling can be a drain; you don’t need tight, uncomfortable clothes or high heels to make you feel even more exhausted.

I’m glad she included the scarf as part of her traveling ensemble. It’s definitely a must-bring. The one on her looks pretty cool and cozy, and it’s large enough to be a wrap or a blanket as well. That’s actually good, especially when the temperature inside a plain drops to an uncomfortable low.

If you’re planning to travel anytime soon, I suggest you take a cue from Miranda. No, I don’t mean designate a traveling outfit and wear it twice; I mean take a wrap with you. It’s practical, it’s handy, it’ll keep you warm, it’s definitely less bulky than jackets, and it’s very chic.
