Long before I started this blog, I was an avid follower of a number of Lifestyle and Fashion Blogs on-line. Now that I am blogging myself, I am looking to these bloggers for inspiration One of my all time favourites is Wendy’s Lookbook. Wendy Nguyen started on Youtube, branched into blogging from there, quit her business banking job and has since become on of the most sought after fashion bloggers. Wendy has 334,000 Facebook likes, 582,000 Youtube followers and 45,000 Twitter followers to give you an idea of her popularity. Wendy has turned her passion into a career!
I stumbled across Wendy’s Lookbook when trying to find a new way to tie my scarf. Wendy’s 25 Ways To Wear a Scarf in 4.5 Minutes went viral and garnered over 25 million views on Youtube. Even more fascinating than the video, is the backgrounder on her blog which details all of the work that went into making the video – three days of storyboarding, 8 hours of filming and many hours of editing.
Wendy’s Lookbook features beautifully shot pictures and videos, which are often practical and easy to replicate looks, links as to where to buy each item and quite a few advertisers. There is a lot that I can learn from Wendy as I head down this blogging path!
Forbes recently covered Wendy during New York Fashion week in their article Going Viral: How Wendy Nguyen Of Wendy’s Lookbook Got 25 Million View On One Youtube Video. They caught up with Wendy at New York Fashion Week to learn more about her blog. You know when a business publication wants to cover you that your blog has gone big time!
So, for my first video blog I thought take some inspiration from Wendy’s viral video and show you 5 Ways To Wear A Scarf in 1 Minute. Enjoy!
Now & Jen 
Great ideas! Funnily enough, I am from Switzerland and my go-to is the European loop, though I only just found now that it is called that 🙂 I’ll give the magic trick a try next!

Thanks! The magic trick is my favourite…but the European Loop is the easiest to get on and look great especially when you are in a hurry. So many choices!!
