Snood

I know what you're thinking: why can't I just do the same thing with a large scarf and some clever use of a needle and thread? It's kinda what I'm thinking (and I've got just the right moth eaten Burberry check scarf to play around with), altho I might well discover there's a reason. But somehow, this shape has really captured our collective imagination lately. Maybe it's simply the word: so Audrey Hepburn with Ray Bans. So little vintage MG rounding a sharp corner on the Riviera. What I want to know is, would a snood by any other name smell quite as sweet?
