• Great Halloween Gift For The Teenage Daughter

  Whether your daughter is beginning to think she's a little old for trick or treating or she is feeling a bit overwhelmed by the new school year schedule, you can show you care by giving her a delicate and beautiful light orange (several shades lighter than a pumpkin!), pashmina wrap. 

  This is a color that works surprisingly well in the fall and incredibly well in the spring, summer and during tropical vacation get-aways, in the evening.  Be warned, mom may want to borrow it!  This video shows one way of wearing it as well as what it looks like when you are inside and outside.
