Tie one on! Brighten up your wardrobe with a little bit of color. Ku de Ta (663 East Broadway) has spring-fabulous Sir Alistair Rai scarves on hand. We particularly love the “Hope” scarf. It comes in blue, coral, and sunshine yellow. Price $63. Styling tip: This scarf looks amazing with a white t-shirt and jeans. Top off with a blazer for work to pull the look together.
