FRAAS Mystical Waters Scarf - Functional and Fashionable!

**This is a Sponsored Post.  I was given the product in exchange for this review.

I'm a super busy mom and while I don't want to worry too much about fashion and the way I look, I still want to look nice!  Recently I was sent a great new Spring scarf from FRAAS, which they call "Mystical Waters".  I received the coral one shown above and it's so pretty!  I love the versatility of this scarf!  It can be worn as a wrap or a scarf and works great for day and evening!  I love to wear black and other dark colors (for the slimming effect) and I love that I can use this scarf as a pretty pop of color!  This scarf would also make a great Mother's Day gift, which is coming up!!

More About The FRAAS Mystical Waters Scarf:

(New York, NY/ Wüstenselbitz, Germany): The rising interest in chic, year-round accessories and fashion layering is evident everywhere.  Fashion-savvy women have discovered the versatility of scarves as an accessory and are collecting them each season to accent their wardrobes and individualize their personal style. FRAAS is on target with an exciting new range for Spring-Summer 2013, which focuses on three stories.

Mystical Coast incorporates an opulent, iridescent, natural composite for prints and deluxe, yet gentle detailing. East Meets West presents modernity meeting tradition. Jungle Fever is a lively, hot summer story encompassing the plant life of the jungle and the vivid creatures that occupy it. Lightweights in cotton, modal, silk, viscose chiffon, acrylic, tropical weight wool and blends flow beautifully in solid, ombre’, floral, fruit, stripe, plaid, dotted, splatter-paint, animal, sea and abstract patterns. Some are textured via crinkling, embroidering and puckering effects, others are classic, and several are sheer and gauzy. Infinity silhouettes continue and are clearly understood by consumers because they are so easy to wear. There are several options that are unisex so that everyone can own a FRAAS scarf this season. FRAAS is also on the mark with their color trends in which the season's prettiest neutral/soft, mid-tone, and bright palette options are represented within the range.

Retails range from $28 to about $130 (silk blend). There is no other fashion accessory that makes such a strong fashion statement for this affordability and has so many flexible wearing options. Several styles can be folded as head wraps, waist wraps, sarongs, and depending on the style, even a halter top. Others do double duty and can be used as a shawl for cool nights, air conditioning, travel and, again, the creation
of a chic fashion accessory statement. Easy to wear, simple to drape or tie, this line makes great sense for a self or gift purchase. Style 623949 which is appropriately named, MYSTICAL WATERS, is a very beautiful, oversized printed style that measures 40x72 inches. Therefore, it is a versatile look that can worn as a wrap or scarf. It retails for $48 and is available in vibrant combinations, including turquoise and coral options. It works with day or evening looks and is on target with its flattering palette and popular viscose yarn.

“Developing exceptional, well-timed, attractive products has always been a priority for us at FRAAS,” says Aimee Zucchetti, Brand and Sales Manager for the company. “We hope we can help consumers renew their attire with energizing, affordable looks so that everyone has the opportunity to accessorize like a fashionista!” Ken Krieger, the VP of Sales for the company agrees and adds, "Whenever a woman wants to add a finishing touch and zest to her look—she can reach for one of our FRAAS styles and be confident that it will produce the perfect result. It is astounding what a difference a scarf can make to the total look.”
