One thing we love? A good scarf. Especially when it's created by a talented Louisiana artist like Leslie Charleville. Known for her iconic alligator artwork, Leslie has expanded her collection with these beautiful cotton and silk scarves that are equal parts art and accessory. We especially love them styled with an Annie Claire Designs chain necklace (swipe for inspiration!) or layered with your favorite chunky jewelry for an effortless statement look.

A little about Leslie: She specializes in the 17th-century Japanese art form of gyotaku, or fish rubbing, a technique originally used by fishermen to document their catch. Over the years, Leslie has mastered this unique art form on fish, marine life, and even Louisiana's most beloved mascot—the alligator.

But for Leslie, the art is about more than the finished piece. As she shares, "The art is secondary to the message I want to leave with people. More than anything, I want folks to recognize that there's a Light on L. Charleville Studios that transcends this world. After all, it's not my talent to begin with. I just want to use it for good and make a difference in the lives of the people I encounter."

Be sure to follow Leslie Charleville and be mesmerized by her talent ;)
