Fantastic pairing!:girlsigh:

Believe Chinese phoenix is bit different than Egyptian, etc.
Body is said to symbolize 5 human qualities:
head=virtue
wings=duty
back=ritually correct behavior
breast=humanity
stomach=reliability
And feathers correspond, as 5 colors.

Truly, you chose a great scarf for today! And will be blessed in 2017.:heart:
Thank you for this information, RS. I don't know what sort of phoenix is on the H scarf, but I'm going to add the symbolism to my Hermès scarf spreadsheet
(YES, I have a scarf spreadsheet. Doesn't everyone???).
 
Enjoyed street festival.
Lions ate red envelopes. Live roosters wore fancy neckties.
And my feet went numb from cold.

So, we surrendered. And ate napoleons with hot coffee. In a nice, warm used bookshop.
(cannot eat wearing scarves--not my superpower:hrmm:)

The rooster is everywhere. Everywhere.:shocked:
Love the flowers (are they peonies?) on your gorgeous scarf.
When I wear a scarf while eating, I turn it around so the tails are to the back.
Just to be safe.

I know. :annoyed: Jerks.

Hurray! Red mole rats should coordinate with my Happy-New-Year-it's-freaking-cold outfit.
As long as they stay out of the bayswater.

Appears demons had a go at my shoelaces.:p
Perfect "here comes the fun" outfit!
What I'm wearing today: an LV bag and an Hermès scarf. The bird on the scarf is a phoenix, not a rooster, but at least it has feathers!

Oh wow, Elaine. This picture is breathtaking! The red of your LV reminds me of Mulb Poppy and the scarf is just stunning. :loveeyes:
 
I had a great Saturday . I had My hair colored a new lighter color this morning, watched Miss 10 score during her basketball game and then a manicure. Came home and dh had made dinner. I'm carrying my Dooney and Bourke florentine satchel, still shopping my closet.
Sounds like a great Saturday! Glad you had fun. Oooooooh. And you have a Flo! :nuts: This is some kind HG bag for me. They are not sold around here and ordering from the US involves high custom duties and I am too chicken about the weight. Cannot get the Flo out of my head, though. :angel:
Sounds like a great day!
Youngest DD took third in the competition so she's in a good mood.
It didn't snow.
All is well.
Yay! Sounds great, Murphy. :drinks:
A phoenix is just a rooster with a few extra magical powers. Love the purse and the scarf! :love:
Haha. I wanted to post the same!

No festival in Paris this year. The Chinese community cancelled street celebrations for safety reasons.:sad::sad:

Fear I would flail food onto scarf, even turned around.:p
But good idea.:tup:

Believe are peonies.
Was gift, received at Chinese dance performance in 2016. Designed around a specific dance:
"Inspired by the resplendent Shen Yun dance, Flower Fairies, in which vibrant pink blossoms transform into graceful heavenly maidens in ethereal dance. Floating in the spring breeze, the delicate petals symbolize renewal and liveliness."

Rhubarb wears it, here:lol::

Well, islanders are busy today!
And selecting great purchases.
Love sneakers. :heart:
Would marry sneakers, if they could cook & remind me not to use kitchen knives to open mail parcels.:p

Latest purchase: wooden train whistles.

Complete with "blast chart." To communicate things, using different note sequences.

Obviously, tons of jollies will follow.
As whistle easily fits into handbag.:choochoo:
 
They are not.
As it states on the Birkenstock box: Normal sturdy German feet.
I have schmal German feet.
My German feet are long and schmal. Birkenstocks are often too wide for me.

Wistles, eh?

Guess islanders are all tired thanks to our glorious Chinese New Year festivities at the mackerel.

They make a narrow Birk. I'm not sure which emblem is for narrow though. I wear quite a few of them, I just have to be careful which one I get.
