Paris Hilton, July 24

Obviously, that’s Paris Hilton in a leopard print cutout swimsuit. But check out how she “tried” to cover up. Yep, with a tiny scarf around her hips. Honestly, it looks more like an accessory rather than a functional cover-up. But hey, let’s not complain; she looks good after all.

If you have a body like Paris, I think you might be able to rock this kind of look on the beach. I wouldn’t recommend this on anyone busty though. To achieve the look, these are the essentials:

In case you’re wondering, the Ed Hardy scarf is quite long. It measures 12-inches by 88-inches. Here’s a different view:

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are pretty much going strong these days. Most often than not, we don’t see one without the other. The couple was spotted out and about town last June 17 and here’s a shot of Miley while she stopped by to sign some autographs.

I like the casual get up – jeans and T-shirt; and I like how she dressed it up with a piece of patterned scarf, it’s very chic.

By the way, I know this is off-topic, but I also couldn’t help but notice the fringed pen in her hand, how cute is that?

I probably already sound like a broken record, but I’m going to say it again – a scarf always dresses up a plain look. In Miley’s case, she opted for a patterned scarf.

If you’re a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl, brighten up your look with a patterned scarf. Here are some great and affordable options for you:
