Like a newspaper!.. Get it?
Ok, my timeless grandpa-esque humor aside, I love the simplicity of this look. Living in NYC, most of my wardrobe has magically seemed to turn black and white, and the simple addition of one accent color (I picked red today, if you couldn't tell) in the form of lipstick, nail polish and a scarf, added the vavavoom I wanted to meet up with friends for drinks downtown after bopping around doing my usual weekend activities.
Sidenote: Cowgirl Seahorse at South Street Seaport has THE BEST frozen margaritas in the city. If you are in Manhattan go there now. This is important. I wanted to write this all in caps but feared it would come on too strong. That's how important.

There are SO many ways to tie a headscarf, but this simple twist look is my personal fave, probably because it reminds me of my favorite Anthropologie headband! (Click HERE to see that baby in action)
HOW TO TIE A SILK SCARF HEADBAND:
1. Fold square scarf in half into a triangle. Fold in the point of the triangle 3 inches or so, then keep folding another 3 inches over itself, and on and on until the scarf is a long thin(ish) strip.
2. Reach underneath your hair and place the center of the strip on the nape of your neck, with the messy side of the strip (where you can see the folds) laying against your head. Then bring the two ends upward, framing your face.
3. Twist the two ends and pull them back down toward your neck, twisting only once so the ends each go back to the side they came from.
4. Tie a knot at the nape of your neck. Voila!
