Oscar De La Renta Archives

How about an Oscar De La Renta for under USD50? YES! No kidding, you can grab a scarf from the renowned label for that price only. Sounds good, yah? And no, we’re not talking about sale items.

If you follow fashion, then you must have heard that much like Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, and Alexander McQueen, ODLR (Oscar De La Renta) also has a more accessible line called “O by Oscar De La Renta”. And while browsing through Nordstrom today, we found these fresh scarves from the sub-brand simply waiting to be snagged:

Big Bloom in 4 Prints

O by Oscar De La Renta Big Bloom Silk Scarf, USD48

(comes in 4 different prints and shades)

Polka Dots in 3 Colors

O by Oscar De La Renta Polka Dot Stole, USD42

(comes in 3 different shades)

Aren’t they delightful?

We’re loving the “Big Bloom” Scarf best; it’s very Oscar De La Renta. Of course, the fact that both retail at a deliciously affordable range makes ‘em quite tempting to grab. If you agree, simply head over to Nordstrom and shop away! Enjoy!

Ever the busy girl, Leighton Meester was spotted shooting another scene for Gossip Girl in New York yesterday (February 18). Her alter ego, Blair Waldorf, was looking luxe as usual in a cream Milly jacket matched with an exotic looking purse from Louis Vuitton. But the highlight in Blair’s outfit was the beautiful green scarf around her neck; such a fabulous touch of color to brighten up the neutral outfit, don’t you think?

According to sources, that scarf is by Oscar De La Renta. Now we all know those are quite expensive. A piece of scarf from the premiere label can cost you almost US$500. If you can afford it, you can shop for it at Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf. Some suggestions for you:

Oscar De La Renta Henry Print Scarf, US$450

(modal/cashmere mix, exclusively printed)

Oscar De La Renta Crinkled Heart Print Scarf, US$490

(for pre-order;  modal/cashmere mix)

If you copy Blair’s look to a T, you’ll be spending more than US$2000 because the Milly jacket alone is already US$651, and that Louis Vuitton bag is might pricey as well. Most of us can’t even begin to spend US$400 on a piece of scarf so stealing her style for much less is the ONLY option. To grab this Queen B’s luxe New York get-up, make it your own by changing the colorway to basic black, but keep the green scarf as your accent. Here are the pieces to grab:
