I’m loving the snood (hooded scarf) as the next fall accessory I must have. Okay on a cold, rainy day in London I am finally in the mood to write something ‘fall’ like. But all I can say is that I hope in North America we call it something better.

In the ‘old day’ a snood was a Brit term for a hairnet. But in today’s terms it’s a tubular neck warmer pull down over the neck like a scarf…or over the head like a hood. A hooded scarf!

Burberry Prorsum and Missoni (shown here) are just two of the designers that hooded up models on the Fall 2009 runways.

Please post comments here if you find some dealio sources on this trend. So far I’ve just seen the pricey options in the UK.

Tie scarves around your wrists! An extension of the head scarf trend that boasted its beautiful soft patterns and fabrics is now extended to your wrists.   With the right cuff bracelet and patterned scarf combo you are sporting the best downplayed trend of the day.

BlueFly featured this modern combo using an Hermes scarf - which I love.  Hermes scarves are always extremely elegant patterns, it would be hard to decide which one to buy! 

I love my leather cuffs and didn’t know when to bring them back into my street look without looking like a rocker.  With the proper scarf in place and a pair of baggy jeans and either my favourite metal cuff bracelet or a leather one I`ll be glad I tied one on.  Tie on this new twist on wrist bands.

It’s official - headscarves are no longer just for convertibles. They’ll be taking a front seat at for Fall 2008 trends.

We had a sneak peak when D&G accessorized their runways with them, and Leighton Meester Gossip Girl-ing them. Now you too can make yourself an instant glamazon in one silk swoop. Tie them in the front via Jackie O style icon, and when you’re not wearing it tie it into a knot onto one of the straps of your big bag.

My scoop: London’s Topshop has a vintage section to die for – oversized sunglasses and silk scarves in the masses, but every single one an individual.
