urban turban

the cold weather that has blown across the country is really getting to my head! i will keep my noggin warm and my hair safe from the winter wind by sporting one of the fabulous turbans that have been spotted around the fashion world over the last few years.

i don't think that there is anything that looks as sleek and sexy as one of these headwraps. their chicness accentuates bone structure and makes the eyes come alive! most recently, the silk wraps at ralph lauren have been an inspiration to me. other greats are from prada, hermes, erin fetherston, and phillip lim.

don't know how to tie a turban? use these easy steps and viola!

• To start, fold the cloth in half lengthwise. Having the fold forward, set the center point on your forehead and drape the ends of the fabric forward across your shoulders. It will look like you have two pig tails.

• Now, gather up the fabric on each side, holding it as close to your earlobes as possible. You now have a "cap" on top of your head. Twist the two sides of fabric, not too tight or your turban will be too small, not too loose or it will fall off. You must experiment with this part.

• Pulling the two "pig tails" behind your neck, exchange sides and make the right one (originally) come over the left ear and left side over the right, cross in front and take to the back.

• Tie the ends like you would a shoestring and tuck them in the wraps.
