Hypoxia,

You look wonderful in that shawl...

I am thinking I may have to get one too.

Here it is, hurriedly shoved back into its box...

And here it is, slung rather hurriedly around my neck in a most embarrassing location... the toilets in Harvey Nicks' Wagamoma!

Little sister was in a cubicle squeezing into the new jeans she'd just bought, so I thought I'd try my lovely shawl out. Here's a snap... apologies again for the horrendous location!

Lovely shawl!!! hyposia!! Did you see it in other colourways? TIA

So don't be worried about getting the wrong thing, just keep asking until they bring out what you want

The interchangeable French and English names for things caused me soooo much confusion at first! eg scarf/carre; or taupe/etoupe (cream, according to a Manchester SA!) and the ever-confusing gavroche/small pocket/handkerchief/pochette for the 45cm silk square!

Haha, you must have seen my stupid questions on the Scarf Reference thread asking what a Carre, Gavroche, 70cm and 90cm etc were - I've been terribly confused but its all been made clear to me know by silkfringe and ms piggy (and now you). I was beginning to think that I would have to print out forum photos to take to the H store to get what I want!

This shawl is really gorgeous and it looks great on you

I still want one but I'm not sure about the colorway yet.

hypoxia, you look smashing. And your CDC bracelet doesn't go unnoticed.

Ali-bagpuss · Sep 14th, 2009, 08:34 AM

^ Yep, I noticed that too.

mooks · Sep 14th, 2009, 08:37 AM

Really love your new shawl........ still can't decide between this and the coaching in a similar CW...... decisions decisions!

ms piggy · Sep 14th, 2009, 08:47 AM

The K en C shawl is just delightful on you!

Lyanna Stark · Sep 14th, 2009, 01:04 PM

The more I come and stare at your pic, the more alluring your shawl is... ok, this is a must get! I only hope I can look half as fabulous as you, hypoxia!

That's exactly what I think - I keep coming back and looking at this shawl. It looks so fab on you hypoxia, I'm really considering adding this to my ever increasing wish list!

Mree43 · Sep 14th, 2009, 05:57 PM

Hypoxia-your scarf looks AMAZING on you. Love love love it. I can't wait to get mine. I ordered it in Rose Shocking, it's not in yet. :(

I also agree! This will have to go on my list too however I've been banned from H for the next few months

Polaremil · Sep 15th, 2009, 01:59 AM

Congrats, hypoxia, the shawl looks fab on you! Is it the 06 colourway?

I'm with you in this dilemma. I bought the Coaching in rose shocking and had a look at KenC and Coaching GMs in the natural cw. to be honest, i didn't like the Coaching that much. It was a little too muted and looked rather "sad" on me.

The KenC however is really a stunner - and what's the best: it has a contrast hem!!! Now, I'm waiting for the KenC in black/orange to arrive at my local H-boutique and then I'll have to decide between black/orange and naturel/brown - there is NO way that I'll buy both (...or is there any??)
