What I Wore: Houndstooth and Red

Sarah Ward — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 14:52:05 +0000

Don’t you love it when your outfit matches your artwork? That’s when you know you are dressing and living authentically.

Last night we went out for dinner with some friends at California Pizza Kitchen (might I recommend the Thai chicken pizza? Sensational!) and had a grand old time.

What I Wore

Houndstooth scarf – Olive and Tweed. This is one of my fave ways to wear a scarf. Click here for a scarf video tutorial.
Houndstooth earrings – Made by Jewls
Gray boatneck tee – RW&Co. (Another fab Canadian clothing company that I wish we had access to in the US of A)
Red patent purse – Guess
Watch – Fossil
Bootcut dark wash jeans – Banana Republic
Red open toe shoes – Franco Sarto. A few weeks back the girls got together for mani’s and pedi’s. I got gold polish over a gorgeous Opi color which magically chameleons towards red with these shoes.

What’s your go-to outfit for a night out with friends?

Giveaway: Nepali Cashmere Scarf

Sarah Ward — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:52:13 +0000

This contest is now closed.

Recently I was contacted by NEPALI by TDM Design to do a review and giveaway of their scarves and I have to say I was really impressed. All the scarves by TDM Design are handcrafted using exquisite fibers such as cashmere, silk, bamboo, modal and wool and — here’s the coolest part — are made by women in villages in Nepal. NEPALI by TDM are giving these women opportunities to contribute financially to their families, fund their children’s education and health care. One of their tag lines says, “Smart style that empowers systematically disenfranchised women. Now that’s something we can all get behind!”

Scrunch Scarf Giveaway

NEPALI by TDM Design’s scarves are sold in the likes of Saks and Bloomingdales and has generously donated a scrunched cashmere scarf (retail $85) that one lucky Cable Car Couture reader will walk away with! It is a deep teal color, the very color of peacocks, and can be worn in so many ways! I took upon myself the task of experiment and find some of the many ways this fabulous scrunch cashmere scarf can be worn:

The scrunch ruffle creates an awesome collar-like effect!

It almost looks like a top, doesn’t it?

To enter the contest is simple:

Leave a comment on Cable Car Couture and tell us what your favorite cause is (eg: battered women shelters, save the whales, education for children in far off lands, etc.) and what it means to you.
If you have multiple causes, leave multiple entries!
Follow @cablecarcouture on Twitter and tweet about this contest!
