What a lovely set of Autumn/Winter styles. The beauty of your unique Kelly is brought out by the Phoenix scarf and the color is very flattering to you. I also always love to see a brunette in winter white, cream and earth tones, sometimes that is hard to pull off (I have dark hair myself) but the dress and shawl photos show that those shades suit you very well.

Thank you Nicole. The cream in winter is a stretch for me but I'm definitely going to try to get my wear from the dress.

I love the charm of the Victorian homes even with their limitations. I think my all time favorite place that I have lived was a $600 per month apartment in a Victorian building just off rittenhouse square in Philadelphia where I lived during residency. I still miss it. The details, moldings, fireplace and windows were amazing. The closet was a bit small but I couldn't afford many clothes back then. I'd make it work somehow.

So here are my Hermes purchases for the week.

I bought this 140 silk cheval Phoenix as a welcome home gift to Rosie- my new name for my rouge h Kelly. I'm hoping to find it in the colvert colorway too so my colvert Kelly doesn't feel lonely.

This is the creme dress that I bought. It's simple but well made and a nice fabric. It will be great for spring and summer with many of my scarves and it works with several of my Chanel jackets. I'm trying to make it work for winter as well. This is one idea.

I also bought both the scarf and shawl of carre en boucles. I am still deciding which to keep. The shawl is growing on me.View attachment 3506186

Thank you MMC. The 140 silks are so heavenly, especially the thicker ones from FW. Did you read myh's thread with her tips fur taming the 140? She does a great job.

So you are the one who inspired me to run back to the store to try the boucles csgm. Do you still. like it? Are you still looking for it?

Since you inspired my csgm I don't feel too badly about the 140 silks. [emoji23]

Lol, that's how tpf works, we're all terrible enablers! [emoji1] no guilt!

There is a thread on how to tame silk 140? [emoji15]
I like the thicker silk, indeed. I only have two silk 140, a tapis persan and an old Sherahzade (a family hand down) which is in silk crepe, therefore i am missing a 140 in the standard twill! I guess i will have to fix that!

I am really trying to make deliberate scarf purchases; i told myself that i would only get two cgsm and 3-4 carres at most this season. I am already at 3 carres and one cgsm, but i am still considering adding the boucles shawl. It looks so good on you and we've similar colors.

I haven't gone back to my H store since i came back from Paris. DH says that avoiding the store is the only way for me to avoid buying something because i simply cannot resist temptation [emoji20].
I will go back before the holidays to get some gifts too, and that's probably when i will also look for the shawl.

DH is very wise. Staying out of the store is the only way to resist temptation.

Myh has a scarf showcase thread. She did a tutorial on taming the 140. Here is a link. I think it's post 368 or something like that.

MYH's Scarf Showcase - and philosophical ramblings about how I built my collection
OK, last session and then let's see how you guys and gals have been wearing your 140 giant silks. Session 3 - the bias fold without a knot in the back of your neck. Some knots don't need a "safety knot" tied in the back since the whole creation is well balanced.

Example 1: I think everyone knows this one. Bias fold your scarf and make a loop around your neck with the tails hanging down in front of you. Just tie a knot right under the loop and you are ready to go.


Example 4: See next post. Ugh! I have maxed out attachments.

My little baby turned into one yesterday. He is such a cutie pie that I could just smile when I see him. He started making funny movement as soon as he heard music. I went crazy and bought him five different music boxes. He is totally excited and is trying all of them, along with his own dancing movements.

Your pictures of your baby are always so fabulous. I think last time you posted, someone said I must find a baby to pinch. So true. Congrats.

I do, I have Celiac so I started to learn to make some treats when I got diagnosed as I had a very sad first holiday season. Macarons are a speciality and they are naturally gluten free, I will make them for gifts and friends. I prefer to eat them hot and crunchy without filling actually so I don't eat too many when I make them. They are a nice, time consuming project. And the double ovens help when I need to make 100 or so. My most popular flavors according to my friends are Espresso with Fleur de Sel Caramel, White Chocolate Peppermint and Smores which have cinnamon shells, homemade marshmallow fluff that I torch and Hershey's ganache. Occasionally in the summer I'll make fruit flavors and I'm toying with a caramel apple idea. I hate pumpkin but I'm sure that would be a bit hit.

Send me a review of the class at the Ritz, I may check that out when I'm in Paris.

My God. You cook too? Is there anything you can't do?

I am wanting a Birkin also & still can't find one that I believe looks right on me. I think 35 is too large for my frame. The 30 might be better but I think the lines of the bag are a little different. I like the appearance of the 35 better. I've been told the 35 is overpowering on me.
I also should write down PbP's statement. Good advice!

It is funny how different everyone is. The 30 would probably look small on me, but I like its lines better than the 35.

Mrs O your gloves and hoodie look super stylish and practical. This Chanel idea is refreshing. I always take Chanel more on the formal side. This hoodie is cute and definitely looks comfortable to wear day to day. Glad to hear the good planning for your house. I am going through the house renovation as well. It's energy draining and I am dying to go back and live in my own house. The rented place doesn't feel like home.

Corde, for Birkin probably think twice. It has to be something you like and something you would actually use not to display on your shelf. It's expensive enough that it would be a shame if you end up not into it. I feel very bad that I don't use two of my bags( one B and one K). DH says"what's the point to store the bag in the closet forever?" These two bags were purchased without careful considerations...

Karen, thank you for your kind words. I hope that the renovation finishes in time too. I wish to spend Christmas in my own home. So far it looks like everything is on schedule.

Ppup, I am really excited to see all your new H additions. You selected a few excellent scarves! I love your new dress. Very nice boots to go with the dress too!! The new Kelly definitely got several great H companions. [emoji7][emoji7][emoji106][emoji106]

I am now waiting on my kids and DH to arrive in my office so we could go attend our company Halloween party. I got Pikachu for my toddler and a baby tigger costume for my one year old. They look shockingly cute in those. [emoji173]️

Hope everyone has a great weekend!! We have a very busy one ahead. Need to go choose the closet shelf and pickup a guest from the airport on Saturday.

He looks so happy! I love these photos! My little one just turned 9 months old and I cannot believe how fast he is growing up. I am happy and sad at the same time.
