Have you seen The Great Gatsby movie yet? Everyone seems to have different opinions but I can’t wait. I’m all about the fashions from that era – the more scarves and head pieces the better. Carey Mulligan wore a gorgeous scarf in the publicity pictures, and today I’m going to show you how to style it. Scarves are the perfect compliment for summer!
Because don’t we all want to take a break from elaborate hair and complicated make-up this time of year? My summer beauty routine pretty much involves a good (fake) tan, lip gloss and a rotation of colorful scarves. To add some color I’ve been using Jergens Natural Glow and have to say, I love it. Using it every day as moisturizer makes it easy for me to remember to apply it. And the face moisturizer is awesome because it has SPF 30 and is oil free. It gradually builds color that looks amazingly natural – seriously. Just don’t forget to exfoliate once a week.
Now that my face has some natural glow (I hope!), I’m going to show you two of my favorite ways to show it off by wearing a fun scarf. And yes, this is my first (and probably last!) video for the blog so please be kind.
It helps a lot to tie it in front of a mirror! But I love that this works great for gals with medium/short hair. And despite what I said, definitely keep the knot covering your ear.
How to style a turban scarf
My other favorite way to wear a scarf is this turban like style. It’s another great way to show off your glowing face!
I wear this all the time in the summer when I need to hide my roots or the fact that I haven’t managed a shower yet. And it works really well with just about any scarf. Here’s another short video showing how to tie it.
One tip I didn’t mention – you can anchor the scarf with a couple of bobby pins because it does tend to slide back. But maybe that’s just the shape of my head?

Great tutorial!
Love love the look!! It looks so fresh even though I wore scarves that way in the 70’s . Everything old is new again. Good style is always fashionable.Thank ou for reminding us.
This is awesome!! Thank you for sharing, I often find it difficult to tie a scarf in a fashionable way, this is great :)
Love to see your pictures in your blog, what a beautiful sister!
I find the turban style video very useful! Your videos are so easy to follow and you have such a nice voice as well, haha. You did great! Hope you’ll do more!! :D
Ugh, I hate my voice in the videos! Surely I don’t sound like that?!
Very cute! The set and costumes/fashions were Amazing in the movie. My first experience of GG was the Robert Redford version…and still my favorite! :-)
Love these! I have tried the turban to no avail. I’m glad to finally have a teacher. Thanks Stephanie!
No, it’s not the shape of your head, because my scarves always slip back too–drives me nuts! (Or maybe we both have weird head shapes?)
Perhaps a flat hair clip on the inside of the scarf to attach it to the head will keep the scarf from slipping.
LOVE this! I’m having a less than stellar hair day right now (cue shaking my fist at all of the moisture in the air joining forces with my frizz friendly mane) and I’m totally going to try the turban look!
I always wondered how they got their scrafs like that!
Can’t wait to see that movie. And I liked your videos :)
Saw Gatsby on Sunday and I am in the corner of those that liked it
The costumes were amazing and I can’t wait to try my hand at this scarf look

The Great Gatsby was cool, a little long and slow in some parts but good. The head pieces were my favorite from the costumes in this movie. the ones that sit up on the side of your head. :-). I’ve tried making a YouTube video it was a fail. You did good with yours.

Look great! I thinking I would much prefer wearing a scarf on my head than around my neck.
I love the second style–this is such a cute way to accessorize hair in the summer!
Can’t wait to see the movie! Also, my hair has been a hot mess lately and I realized I just don’t have that many scarves I can wear in my hair. Must fix!!
Super Cute!
