Celeb Style: Lightweight Scarves for Spring Transitions

From coast to coast, lightweight scarves are without a doubt becoming the IT accessory of the season. Wait, Scarves for spring? Yes! A lightweight scarf is not just a transitional item; it's also the destination point. A scarf, wrap, or shawl is a great alternative to a cardigan. It€™s portable, and there€™s just so much you can do with it: drape it over a thin shirt when the weather is in that in between phase between not quite cold and not quite warm, loop it through your handbag for some added drama, tie it around your head for a funkier look, and so on. The must-have brand propelling this must-have trend is Leigh & Luca, whose collection of oversized luxury scarves have been snatched up celebrities such as Madonna, Posh and David Beckham, Mischa Barton, the Olsens, Jessica Alba, Kisten Dunst, Sienna Miller, Fergie and more. Each scarf is handmade in India and takes an entire day to make, so as you can imagine, they don't come cheap, ranging from around $300-$800 a pop! However, can you really put a price-tag on a versatile item that can last a lifetime? I think not!
