There’s nothing like your first crush. And if you’re anything like us, you crush hard and often. This is where we pay homage to all things worthy of lusting after.

lekker_lace2Sara fancies vintage scarf ascots from Lekker. Sported as a fresh alternative to a necklace, they’re sure to turn heads and sass-up any outfit, from jeans and a t-shirt to a cocktail dress, even adding some warmth on a cool night.

Lekker founder and Bay Area designer, Catherine Weis has been collecting vintage scarves at shops and flea markets for years, drawn by their vibrant patterns. With a life-long interest in fashion design, and a professional career in graphic design, Catherine began applying her artistic eye and creative know-how to her scarf collection. The result is a totally unique and modern twist on the classic woman’s ascot.

“I’ve always been interested in the play between shapes, textures and color, between the old and the new. I’m inspired and reassured to know that classic design never goes out of style.”

Each hand-selected scarf is put through a professional pleating process and hand-sewn to a lace collar fitted with an adjustable gold-plated chain and lobster claw clasp. Choose from the “Chrysler” or “A Line” design, available in a variety of lengths, or go extra-glam in black lace. There are so many delicious designs, you’ll want more than one!
