That is fantastic. That is the other design I was considering! (2nd Pic) Out of the two, which would you recommend?

I have my eye on a RTW sweater that I might get when it gets just a tad bit colder here in the winter. I made a substantial RTW purchase at Bergdorfs recently which should take me through fall. I did see a pair of Hermes pants that I loved, but their pants (and long dresses) never fit well on me since I'm rather short. My bank account might be happy about that but I'm not.
I did recently buy a Hermes poncho (not the Rocabar), which I've posted in the action thread but will share here as well. It's a lovely color and perfect for fall.
Have you seen the SS17 RTW designs? What do you think?

Thank you! I went for CW 16. It was a hard choice since there were two other CWs I really loved but it was the first scarf I bought after getting my Birkin and the color went so well with it that I couldn't resist. Yesterday I bought Les légendes de l'Arbre Coloriage CW 7 and
Dans l'atelier de Robert Dallet CW 4. Originally I was looking at a different Dallet CW, but ended up liking the understated elegance of this.
I love both designs a lot and they are actually two of my favorites. Is getting both an option? They are very different in style and can be worn for different occasions. Minuit au Faubourg is more whimsical and modern whereas Panthera Pardus is sophisticated and classic (while still having a slight edge because of the panther's print)

Thanks again, and Yes getting both is an option. Also, who is a good sales associate in the scarves department on Madison? I spoke to Allison on the phone, but have not been to the scarves department there.

Your poncho is beautiful. I did see the spring designs and there is a leather skirt that interests me. I had to pass on one for this season but I'm hoping my budget will accommodate the one in spring. There are two dresses that interested me from the fall line but I have to wait a bit. I am going to Paris next month and want to do a bit of shopping there.
Congratulations on Paris. I likely won't get a chance to vacation for the next two years but would love to go when I am finished.
It's worth it to hold off on buying now if it means the chance to do more shopping in Paris.
She is wonderful.
Honestly, everyone at Madison is great. I love going to that boutique so much. The sales associates are always very friendly and helpful, they always greet me with a smile and make me feel at home. It is the best service I've ever gotten from any store and I've been to quite a number of high end stores that have amazing service.
I would avoid going during peak hours (weekends and even around 5pm) to get the full experience and the most help. It gets very crowded.
So upset because I was in the city from my family's country house last weekend and really wanted to go to the boutique; and I spoke to Allison on the phoneduring the week as I mentioned, and she told me she would be there on Sat. I called while I was in the city to make sure she was there that day, and later found out I didn't have time to go because I spent 3 hours in Saks... LOL. But then I called again and asked them to leave my apologies for Allison because I could not make it. Was this overbearing? i just want to make sure I have a relationship with an SA at that location for the next time i am in the city (who knows when that will be... In Monaco now!). How can I do this without seeming creepy/ overbearing
Morning cafe! I've been catching up on the last few days and I'm so behind that by the time I reach the end of the thread, all of the responses I've had in my head have been stated by others, discussed and put to bed
I did see some gorgeous flowers at a swanky soirée last night

@cremel and @Cordeliere , stay safe and dry! Cremel, I totally understand your reluctance to travel with little ones, it's stressful. When DD was little, I dreaded it and I only had one shy little girl. I can't imagine two boys! When stressed, I usually play the "what's the worst that can happen" game in my head and that helps tremendously because it makes you realize most situations are temporary and very manageable.
@MadMadCat, great work! I adore labradorite, it's difficult to find really luminescent beads. There's a tiny store near me that imports them and I bought super itty bitty rough cut beads and made a quicky bracelet. You just made me remember, off to look for it.
I have a strange day ahead of me, work promotion type of meetings mixed with total fantasy presentations. I'll take some photos and post them on the ride home tonight. Also hoping to stop at a favorite contemporary jeweler's sample sale for some holiday gifts for DD.
And @Madam Bijoux , your inspiration is perfection
Peace xo
Yes, the flowers were gorgeous! Kudos to the designer, and many thanks for posting these beautiful picture, dharma.
That is excellent! I've been working on my next level as well, thinking about the research for my upcoming dissertation.... I discovered some great wine recently, one of which is very inexpensive but wonderful quality!
A few of the things I've added have been:
- three scarves this season: Flânerie à Versailles, Dans l'atelier de Robert Dallet, and Les légendes de l'Arbre Coloriage. Not a lot has really spoken to me this season (and the other one I desperately want to try my store never has) so that is likely it for the season.... though we'll see
- New York booties, the taller version with metal insert heel
- Poncho, not the Rocabar but a similar design
- Rabbit felt hat.... I love it!
- Some fragrances
I believe I already shared the silver narrow CDC I bought back in.... July??
There are also two or three things I have my eye on and might purchase in the relatively near future. I saw a lovely cashmere scarf and fine jewelry necklace.... there were also a pair of pumps I wanted but I checked yesterday and they were sold out of my size in the color I wanted. The other ones I liked were too wide for my feet unfortunately.
I'm debating back and forth on the cashmere.... we'll see.
I did get a nice pair of Gianvito Rossi velvet booties and have a promotional giftcard for Bergdorfs I plan to use next week for another pair of shoes. I did a bit of RTW shopping as well.
Wow, excellent purchases. I love your edgy/classic style. Wonderful mix!
I saw your pic of La legende in the scarf thread and it is truly stunning! The poncho is great too! Love the sophisticated elegance of it.
The gianvito rossi booties sound intriguing. I'd love to see a pic when you have the chance!
Now i am going to say something silly...i cannot bring myself to buy a poncho because of the word "poncho". It sounds awful to my ears and whenever i think "i love that poncho" immedialy i hear my inner voice saying "ewwwww".
Darn, can these be renamed to something with a prettier sound?!
A bit overbearing maybe, depending onthe relationship. Are you a regular client of her?
Even if you have a small neck for a male, i suggest you try the scarf on. I don't have an elephant neck, but i find the pochettes "barely enough" in terms of size. Of course it depends on the kind of look you are looking for. For a peek of color under the shirt they may work.
In any case both patterns and cw you are considering are beautiful and you can't go wrong!

Thank you very much! I will try to post a picture of the hat I bought tomorrow as well.
I've heard people call my Hermes one a cape before but I can't seem to like that myself; it seems like something out of a superhero comic book rather than a fashion item. Personally I call mine a wrap when I talk about it outside of TPF since I like that term a bit better.
I've attached a picture of the Gianvito Rossi booties. They are amazing!

Yes, cape makes me think i should fly or do something very cool with my powers.
Wrap is a good option!
Oh my oh my these boots are spectacular! They look comfy and i may even be able to deal with the heels since they are on the chunky side and they seem to embrace the foot well.
Thank you for posting the picture!!

Allison is awesome. Your decisions will be so much easier when you see the scarves IRL, and play with them. Be sure to go across to the men's store also - please let us know if the new C'est la Fete gavroches are in!!
EDIT: I see that you've already left NYC. Please let us know what you eventually decide!
