What keeps you warm and gets you noticed? Larry.

The line of scarves, shawls, cowls and ponchos by Vancouver blogger-cum-designer Terri Potratz is knit with Alpaca fleece from the Cariboo that’s spun into yarn on Salt Spring Island. In scrumptious shades of oatmeal, charcoal and mocha, and with deft touches of felt and leather, her latest collection ($75-$600), which just arrived in shops Obakki and Body Politic, was inspired by the rugged landscape of central B.C.

And if some heavy necking with another Larry leaves a mark, this Larry also conceals the evidence.

Knitwear and ankle boots have us lusting over fall fashions, but nothing says transition piece like a fabulous new scarf.

The very “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” Tie-dye Circle Scarf ($47) by American Apparel is our must-have item for the odd weather between summer and fall.

The scarf is 100 per cent cotton so it’s light enough for warmer days but warm enough for cooler temps. Hand-dyed for a one-of-a-kind touch, it comes in four different colour combos (heather gray and black is our fave) and can be worn a dozen different ways including as a dress and a capelet.

Now that’s really a transition piece.
