SLY Awards: Michael Stars

Have you been noticing all of the spring scarves in stores and clothing catalogs this season? I think it’s the trend of the moment – and a very fun one, I might add.

MS20083 punch medium SLY Awards: Michael StarsAs such, it’s fitting that Michael Stars has generously offered a Cool Breeze Scarf ($42) in the color Punch to SLY Award recipient Sarah Bessey.

The scarf reminded me of her because it’s breezy, laidback, and beautiful…just like she is! It is a soft, lightweight, and lovely accessory piece. The fringed edges add just the right casual touch for that “I’m-put-together-but-not-pretentious” look.

If this is your first introduction to Michael Stars, you’ll want to check out their tees first (it’s what they’re famous for…and there’s one for every occasion!), but the brand also offers fashionable dresses, sweaters, bottoms, and accessories.

    I was just noticing all the scarves at the mall today. This one is one of the cutest I’ve seen around.

  2. danielle says:

    I love scarves, but It never seems the right temperature to wear one. Or I always forget to wear my scarf. Anyway, I love your Sly Awards, it’s a great addition to your blog.

  3. SANDY says:

    very pretty- love the color

  4. Terri Smith says:

    I loved your article and have as well noticed the new trend! I find it awesome that scarves are not only for cold winter but can be used to dress up a tshirt and to even add color to plain t’s!! Thanks for sharing!

  5. Carol says:

    I love it, my hair is short, so I wear scarves year round to keep my neck warm, and to be stylish.

  6. Ashleigh says:

    Those are so pretty! I have just recently started trying on scarves. I have one and I feel so cool and hip in it. They are cute!

    I love Michael Stars but have never tried one of their scarves -this looks prefect for summer though! I would be thrilled to win!

  9. kristen says:

    So, I don’t know Sarah personally, but this does seem to fit her personality perfectly. I love it. And I want to become someone who does accessories well. So far, I don’t have the patience to coordinate. And I don’t have the accessories, so, that’s a hurdle :)

  10. Gretchen T says:

    What a great idea to easily update your wardrobe without having to buy a whole new one. That way I can wear it over any old t-shirt and look totally in style! And who doesn’t love getting to wear something for fashion rather than function?

  11. Betsy says:

    My mother would love a scarf for mothers day.

  12. Tracy P says:

    What beautiful scarves! I love wearing scarves all year round because the extra colour always livens up my face and gives my outfits a punch of colour!

    The site has some awesome handbags too. THe scarf would make a nice Moms day gift.

  42. Deanna says:

    Very cute scarf! I’ll be honest, until the past year I have never really worn scarfs. But when I was in Germany a year ago we went to a shop that had the most beautiful silk scarfs. I had to buy myself one and have worn it many times. I wish now that I would have bought a couple more.

  43. phxbne says:

    that scarf is cute – it would help update a plain old outfit

    I love the look of these carves. I see tons of ladies wearing these and they look so cool and put together. I would love to sport the look myself! Thanks!

  49. Patricia says:

    I love wearing scarves–it gives me a put-together look effortlessly.

  50. Michele says:

    Sometimes I think that I must live under a rock, because I have never heard of Michael Stars until this post of yours. I know. Shame on me. I do love the color of these scarves. Scarves are something that I’ve always wanted to wear…but only own a couple of – and they aren’t really stylish ones. This would be great to try out.

  51. Blessed says:

    As someone who wears scarves when they are “in” and when they are not… I have to say that I love this scarf – it’s the kind I like to wear now, a splash of color, a splash of “put together” when I’m feeling frantic and frazzled!

  52. Serena says:

    One can never have too many scarves! They are so wonderful, and dress up an outfit so easily.

    Michael Stars really does have some great shirts! I could build a perfect wardrobe with what they have to offer!

  53. Karen Thaeter says:

    I would feel so “Stylish ” wearing this beautiful scarf!

  57. Chrystal says:

    Love scarves! Really pretty!

  58. Nini Lettner says:

    I LOVE scarves! I wear them quite a bit…however most of mine are for cold weather. There is nothing like a scarf to add a splash of color, spiff up an outfit, or to even cover up my stomach when I let my insecurities get the best of me. Ugh! Steph…you could pull of a scarf quite well too…put your cute curls on top of your head, sport your hot jeans and poof…adding to your already ridiculous beauty. This is a type of scarf you could wear in AZ too!

  59. Shari D says:

    Michael Stars also has some beautiful jewelry.I really like the Turquoise Mix 6 Strand Stretch Bracelet.

  60. Jill B says:

    I recently bought a Michael Stars shirt without knowing the brand, and have been very pleased with the quality and style. This scarf is an easy way make a basic jeans/T-shirt look chic.

    These scarves act as a great accent.

  62. Truly says:

    I really like some of the colors of these scarves. Very nice indeed.

  63. Jennifer says:

    You don’t have to spend a lot of money to change up how your clothing appears. These scarves would do that for many ensembles.

  64. James says:

    The punch scarf will do just that…give punch to whatever you put on.

  65. Dyani Bishop says:

    I just got back from New york and everyone was wearing this type of scarf. Love it!

  66. Folkes says:

  79. Andi says:

    I’m a total scarf hoarder! Seriously. I love them and I wear them all.of.the.time. I think they totally can change an old outfit into something fresh and new. And in the summer, who doesn’t love a pop of color? I hope they never go out of style…

  80. Kim H. says:

    I work at a school where one of the speech therapists is never without a scarf. I think she looks so stylish. I’ve thought about adopting the look, but don’t want to seem like I’m copying.

  81. Lauren says:

    Scarves make the perfect accessory, no matter what the season, and are great for keeping warm at work in the summer!

  82. Mimi the kitten says:

    I’ve only recently learned to tie scarves properly and carry them off with some semblance of style…this would be a great delight!

  83. Corey says:

    Myh wife would love to try one of these. She’s usually very timid and this would be a huge fashion step for her.

    First off, at my middle age and after several chest “altering” breast cancer surgeries – SCARVES are my mainstay and salvation – especially scarves that are long and bold!

    PUNCH is just such a scarf and it would happen to go and glow beautifully with most items in my mostly modest “wardrobe”. I genuinely love it!
