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?

In case you prefer the Tolani Stud Scarf, it’s available at Singer22.com.

If the knitted tube scarf was “the” item to have last winter, this spring it is the silk scarf. It is everywhere this season, starting from big brands like Prada, Emilio Pucci, Gucci, and Hermes. And I mean literally everywhere, from clothing, to shoes, to accessories. Check out the items below and tell me what you think:

Of course, if you feel the above interpretations of the silk scarf are a little too much for you, then feel free to keep the accessory around your neck.

A silk scarf always gives an air of luxury and elegance when worn so whoever wears it gets an immediate upgrade in appearance.
