    MIGNON GOULD is the editor-at-large of Thechicspy.com. The blog is a whimsical blend of class and sass from a sartorial sleuth. She’s always on the hunt for the hottest of hot, exposing the next big fashion heist, or investigating the looks of elusive red carpet celebs, those who are trés chic and those who merely shock. She never shows up to foil a fashion caper without being dolled up with her trademark orange trench, sporting oversized sunglasses, carrying a designer tote and flashing her handy-dandy magnifying glass for sartorial sleuthing. So be warned, next time you’re spotted by her out on the town; be stylish, be debonair, but above all, BE CHIC, because she’s on a mission to uncover the chicest in style and entertainment!

    Stay Warm in a Street-Chic White Scarf by Mira Torres

    One of the things I’m loving now is the Winter Wonderland ready white scarves that I keep spotting everywhere. Celebrities like Kate Moss and Zoe Saldana have already been seen wearing white cashmere scarves with their matching white pea coats or freshening up the look of a classic black overcoat. A white scarf in cashmere, wool, or cotton can make any winter or fall outfit look and feel its most decadent in texture all season. Smooth finishes and alluring graphic prints or embellishments can keep the look cool and trendy. Check out my four finds! Your fit to find one that’s right in your price range, too.  Old Navy’s Sequined Sweaterknit Infinity Scarf will have you bundled up in sparkles for a fraction of the others. My personal favorite, the We Are Owls Poster Printed Cashmere Scarf is cute, cuddly, and undeniably cool, Bottega Venetta’s handmade Knitted Wool and Suede Scarfis the ultimate in scarf luxuriousness, and Malene Birger makes a Chunky Wool Knit Scarf is brag-worthy with just a few hints of color.
