No matter how many hair coverings and accessories you have, you always need more.  A new color, a new style, something on sale, something because you’re hungry and trying to avoid the Ben and Jerry’s in the freezer.  I can come up with any excuse for needing a new accessory, even though my tichel drawer is overflowing and I keep knocking over my hat and headband box and making a mess in my closet.  So I got it in my head recently to count up how many tichels, headbands, etc., I have.  And here are my results!

Does it drive anyone else crazy to see people dressed all in black? Especially in the summer or at a wedding? I know it’s chic and slimming and whatever, but it’s also boring and depressing and hot!

Color psychology is the study of the effect that color has on mood, emotion, and even behavior. It’s sort of an alternative field of study used mostly by marketing and advertising departments and interior designers. According to experts, black does evoke style, power, and mystery – but it is also associated with death, formality, fear, evil, sadness, anger, and remorse. Too much black is overwhelming!Since today is the first day of summer, I feel obliged to point out that black absorbs heat more than any other color – and to better spot bugs, it is recommended that you wear light-colored clothing. Just something to keep in mind!

Anyone who covers as a rule ends up with a couple of funny stories to tell about the time they ran out of the house without a hat on, or the time a kid pulled it off in front of the rabbi, or something like that.  Just a couple of days ago, my friend’s boyfriend came over while she was babysitting for my daughter.  When I got home from work, I was schmoozing with them as I took off my shoes and went into my room to take off my sheitel (wig).  Someone said something I wanted to respond to, so I ran out of my room – then I realized a minute or two later that my hair was showing, and ran back for a tichel.

We’ve got some really good haircovering-fail anecdotes on our website that were collected a while back.  Here are some of the most exciting of the bunch – and feel free to comment below with your own!

Story #1 Michal, R

“It’s hot in Texas much of the year, so I may not cover during the day if it’s just me and my two young kids at home. I always have a beret ready by the door, just in case someone comes by unexpectedly. Last week, I kept getting after my kids for moving furniture around to climb up to my spray bottle of water (for disciplining the cat and, okay, the kids, too) and my spray bottle of vinegar & water (for cleaning).  A package arrived so I took my beret off the table with the spray bottles and slipped it on to get the mail.

I’d like to preface this post by letting you all know that I took my own advice.  Yesterday, I put on a black and white outfit, and was going to use a long hot pink scarf for a headband.  But on a whim I tied it around my waist and decided it looked much cooler that way – and it broke up the monotony of the black and white.  *Curtsies*

When you think of certain people, you automatically picture them with a hat on.  Or when someone mentions a certain hat style, you automatically picture a certain person.  Just like Superman and his cape, the man and the costume become inextricably intertwined.

I was going to leave fictional characters like The Man in the Yellow Hat, or Sherlock Holmes and his deerstalker, off this list, but I came across the term “alice band” and decided it was too cute to leave out.  So, here’s a short list of people and the headgear that made them great –or the headgear that they made great.

1. Nefertiti and her “cap crown” – the name of this Egyptian queen immediately calls to mind the famous 3000-year-old limestone bust of her wearing a tall, blue headdress – she’s famous for the beautiful face under it as well. (more…)

We all miss the alarm sometimes and wake up with ten minutes to get dressed and out the door.  When you’re in a desperate rush, you usually have to abbreviate your
routine, which can lead to a blah appearance for the rest of the day.  But just because your hair is wet or your makeup is half done or your shoes are mismatched
doesn’t mean that you can’t look good.  Here are some quick ways to add a little zest to your outfit, even on your busiest mornings.

1. Pick your shoes/bag/belt/hair covering in noticeably different color than the rest of your outfit – like a lime green headband with a denim skirt and black shirt.

The Latest Spring Styles

Now that spring is here, you might be ready to burn your winter clothes – or at least pack them away.  But considering the chilly rainstorm that blew through my area the other day, it might not be time to break out the flip-flops quite yet.  Here are a few ways to get some spring style into your wardrobe, even if it’s not as warm as you hoped it would be.

According to InStyle magazine, bold belts are a spring trend – they recommend wrapping a bright one around a light colored dress. Try our Red Patent Leather Alligator belt over a khaki shirtdress.

Some tips on How to Accessorize with using belts!

Step 1 – Look at your outfit, and see what it’s lacking. If it’s lacking color or sequins to make the outfit stand out, belts can certainly bring out your look with ease.

Step 2 – Decide if you want a thin or thick belt for the particular outfit that you want to accessorize. Look at the loop holes in the pants to confirm that it can fit a thin or thick belt.

The LA times is reporting

TON (AP) — The alma mater of a Massachusetts terror plot suspect has banned students from wearing clothing that obscures the face, including face veils and burqas.

The Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Services announced the policy weeks after Muslim alumnus Tarek Mehanna — the son of a professor — was charged in October with plotting terror strikes. It went into effect Friday.

School spokesman Michael Ratty says it is unrelated to Mehanna’s arrest and was part of an annual review. He says officials want everyone entering the school’s Boston campus to be able to be identified.

Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations wants a religious exemption. He says Muslims who believe they must cover their faces should be allowed to.
