Everyone is cutting corners these days. So it’s even more important that the things we buy have multiple purposes. One person Melissa Lum, (accessories editor at Lucky Magazine), vowed to stop shopping all together. Although the very thought makes me feel queasy ;) I can understand. Melissa was pictured on Beautifulstranger.tv and Gawker.com yesterday wearing an Echo scarf. For someone who has stopped shopping, she really knows how to make her existing wardrobe work for her. She’s wearing our solid color (in black) everyday linen wrap to top off her winter coat, but she can also use it to throw over a bright sweater or to just curl up with when the wind blows. We understand everyone can use a little comfort and affordability these days. Never underestimate the power of a bright new scarf to brighten your mood or a new colorful shower curtain to freshen your outlook on the day (and the economy). It’s those little things that count :)

High-five to our friends at Luckymag.com and our new friends at BeautifulStranger.tv and Gawker.com Thanks for the mention!
