Roselle — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 08:00:05 +0000

Here’s another celebrity favorite more known for being Kim Kardashian’s bikini wrap – Matta Dupatta Scarves. They’re soft, large (100 x 200 cm), and handwoven scarves made of cotton and silk in many many colors. But what makes them really different from other scarves are those pom pom balls surrounding each piece. Instead of the usual fringes, Matta Dupatta scarves have their pom pom balls.

Here’s a look at some of the celebrities spotted using a Matta Dupatta, starting with Kim of course:

Kim Kardashian is now officially a New Yorker after having moved and opened a DASH boutique in the city. The Reality TV star’s fashion preference has also shifted towards cozy scarves, wraps, and ponchos instead of the usual light jackets. Case in point, these pictures of Kim taken just recently:

We love Kim’s New York style. And we love her taste in ponchos too! In case you’re curious, Kim’s poncho in the first picture is the Rag & Bone Northfield Checked Tweed Poncho, and in the second picture is the Sass & Bide What is Reality Poncho.

Kim Kardashian’s Tolani Stud Scarf vs. Cecilia De Bucourt Chain Scarf

Check out Kim Kardashian’s biker babe look. I love the touch of glam she put into it by wearing a studded scarf. This look is definitely sexy, and I want it.

Kim Kardashian Wearing the Tolani Stud Scarf

I found out that the studded scarf is by Tolani and it comes in six (6) beautiful colors – brown, navy, ivory, black/gold, black/silver, and fuchsia. But looking at Kim here makes me just want to get the black and gold one.

Now while surfing at Shopbop.com, I found a scarf that looks exactly like Kim’s Tolani – the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf.

Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf

The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf comes with distressed gold metal pailletes and mixed-chain fringes, just like Kim’s Tolani Stud Scarf. Both are so identical that it would be hard to tell which is which.

Now, although the two look exactly alike, I found a couple of differences that might help decide which among the two to buy.

Point # 1: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf is made of 100% viscose jersey while the Tolani Stud Scarf is made of jersey composed of 93% viscose and 7% lycra.

Point # 2: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf comes with more mixed-chain fringes compared to the Tolani Stud Scarf

Point # 3: The Cecilia de BuCourt Chain Scarf costs US$176, that’s US$68 more expensive than the Tolani Stud Scarf

Point # 4: The Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf only comes in one (1) color – black/gold, while the Tolani Stud Scarf comes in six colors as mentioned above.

Given these differences, which do you think should I buy?

Honestly, although the Tolani Stud Scarf is cheaper than the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf, I think I will go for the Cecilia De BuCourt. Why? Well, I love bling and I like the fact that the Cecilia De BuCourt Chain Scarf has a lot of it. I guess that’s what the additional US$68 is for.

How about you, which would you buy?
