Wrap Me In Oplulence: FRAAS Fall-Winter 2013

I think it is safe to say that for Fall/Winter, a must-have accessory for most women (and men) is a great scarf or stole. I love wearing light weight scarf during Spring/summer too, but for winter, this has to be my can't-live-without piece! I am always on the hunt for a chic, beautiful scarf to update my look and transition an outfit between seasons. So when I got a chance to sample a scarf from FRAAS, I was beyond excited! FRAAS is a renowned European brand making quality accessories for centuries! (Literally! FRAAS was established in 1880 in Germany) With a history like that, how can you go wrong! I love this ultra light, yet warm scarf with gold shimmer and a trendy  print of zebra stripes in very fall appropriate golden apricot color. For the rapidly cooling New York weather, this makes a great accessory for a layering look.

 FRAAS scarves and accessories are available worldwide at 25 locations and all across USA (For retailers list - see here) and online at Amazon and on fraas.com. You can also order from the company by calling their New York sales office at 212-575-0191.

I have to say Europeans know they their scarves! Case in point - FRAAS Fall/Winter'13 collection. I can't just pick one! From their signature Cashmink fabric to washed wool, cotton, silk, cashmere and everyday viscose, FRAAS have something for everyone! The digital photo prints, baroque prints and the superior craftsmanship makes this collection a real treat for Holidays! I think these scarves will make a great Christmas gift for anyone!

Video Tutorial: How To Curl Hair Using Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret Curling Iron

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

Love curls but but not the hassles of curling your own hair? Continue reading! I have to tell you that I have been curling my hair since time immemorial, have used all kinds of curling iron and contraptions known to womankind and I thought I knew the art of curling! Boy, how I was proved a novice when I was introduced to this revolutionary curling iron by Conair. It is called Conair Infiniti Pro Curl Secret. It is literally a magic wand of curling! No burning hot metal rods, no fear of burning the top of your ear (fess up, you too have done it at least once!!), no hassle - just an easy to use curling iron where it all happens 'inside'!!

It looks easy, doesn't it! When  I saw this video for the first time, I thought there might be a catch, may be a profesional did this, or they somehow made it look easier than it actually would be, but when I tried this automatic curling iron by Conair infinit pro myself, I was proved wrong again!! It was as easy it it looks in the video! I may not have the gorgeous face and hair of the curl secret model, but the process of curling my hair using curl secret was similar to hers! Here is my own video detailing the process and results! Also a quick and easy side bun tutorial for upcoming Holiday parties!!

The Conair Curl Secret iron is generating a lot of buzz among hair and beauty experts and everyday women like myself! I think the reason behind its growing popularity is the simplicity of its design, ease of use and overall safety of the iron. This is a great curling product for teenagers and young girls who are just learning to use a curling iron and people who are prone to burn the skin around the neck/easrs(people like me!) It is also a great time saver and even people with long hair can use it in a hurry!
I got this iron from Walmart. (See my shopping experience at my Google Plus) for $99!!

So what do you think of this amazing new product? Would you give it a try? I'd love to see your hair tutorials, so leave me a message with your links documenting your experience with Conair Curl Secret iron! You can follow Conair on twitter (@Conair_Hair) and be a fan of their Facebook Page for latest news in revolutionary hair styling products!
