The Bite:
imageHad fun getting the love bite, but don't wanna show it to the world? Wrap this doohickey 'round your neck: Organic Giraffe, it's a supersoft cotton scarf, which's big enough to hide from harsh winter winds (and nosy coworkers). Made in Brooklyn, these oversize, tone-on-tone striped wraps come in colors like white, grey, red, and purple with a silk-screened giraffe logo. Wear it as a neck warmer, wrap, or our personal fave when it hits 20 degrees: a scoodie (hoodie, meet scarf). Plus, by using organic cotton, OG keeps chems off our planet (every pound of nonorganic cotton's sprayed with 1/3 pound of pesticides). Secret's out.  
Wanna Try: 

Organic Giraffe, available online and at Oak, 28 Bond St. b/t Lafayette St. and Bowery. (212-677-1293). Scarf, $82.

Cocktail Fact

A giraffe's heart weighs 24 pounds.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters opt for an organic cotton scarf over a conventional one, we'll keep the weight of an adult male giraffe in pesticides off the Earth.
