“You look more French than I am,” Yannick Besnard, L’etoile restaurant.

Mr Snow is partaking in Movemeber this year and he’s doing it in style… we’ll leave the facial hair criticism up to you. Please help Snow raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression. You can support Snow by visiting his Mo Space and leaving a kind donation. Snow’s mo has inspired a lot of discussion, check out what people are saying about it on the same site. You can also view his mo-gress there!

A scarf can transform an outfit from drab to fab – we all know that! But do we really know just how versatile a scarf can be? This video – brought to our attention by Mamamia - clearly demonstrates 25 trendy and inventive ways to wear a scarf. Thanks Wendy’s Look Book  for showing us how to best utilise our scarves.

My personal favourite is ‘The celebrity’, what’s yours?

According to Urban Dictionary a ‘scarfer’ is ‘a regular football fan who is not a hooligan’. I employed the (made-up) word to describe a person who regularly wears a scarf. However, this new definition seems entirely appropriate for today’s pick of our favourite scarf wearer; Mr David Beckham. Beckham loves a cashmere scarf and we love him for it! Check out how he oozes style while wrapped in carmel cashmere and plays it cool in muted black. Beckham epitomises style. We may not be football hooligan’s here at Cashmere and Kaye, but we’re certainly going crazy for David Beckham in a scarf. Scored another goal Beck’s!

We want to know how to achieve casual, effortless style so we turned to our most reliable source; ‘Muuuum?’ Pockets stuffed with shopping lists and handbags clogged with wet wipes; these celebrity mum’s do style on-the-go by simply adding a cashmere scarf to their basic pant and top combos. According to Mum: wearing a cashmere scarf is the perfect trick to glam up a casual top (or hide a grubby hand print).
