Fantastic pics, IF!! You look amazing and so comfy chic in your poncho! I didn't think I would like the yellow color before but must admit it is gorgeous and would definitely fill a cw hole in my wardrobe. So, now feel I need the yellow over the blue/grey that is currently available on h.com in US! Unfortunately, your yellow cw is not available now and I would prefer to buy from the website (for ease of return and most of all, refund just in case it doesn't work out). Oh well! Thanks again for the beautiful and detailed pics. Enjoy!!
WOWZA, IF! You certainly made the right choice, that yellow poncho is perfection with your boots, CDC, clic clac and Chanel earrings, too. You look fab!
If these didn't sell out before, they will now!!!
I love the way you have styled it, you look fabulous in every photo!
Even your car photos are amazing!
My car issue is mainly freedom of arm movement, but I will play around with it a bit.
Thanks for sharing, dear, and for showing us all we needed yet ANOTHER H item that was not on the radar!

It is beautiful on you, IF! Oh jeez...it looks so good!
I like it with the short boots that you have on here, very nice!
The second picture here is a gorgeous still life photo.ETA, I've looked at all of the pictures now. Thank you, IF, for showing us the options with different types of boots! You bring such refinement to this poncho, I especially like how you have your hair in a ponytail, it keeps the lines clean. Congrats again! I cannot wait to chose one too!

Dear Israeli_Falva, you look AMAZING! If I would not already have been convinced before, I would have been now! Thank you sooo much for starting this thread!! You really started something...
I always thought that these Ponchos would be more expensive (have probably seen a different one that was...) but when seeing the first pics of Arabesques on this thread, you really had me checking again very, very thoroughly... - And calling my SA immediately thereafter...
Thank you all for your wonderful comments - you have all been soo right. I know this now.
Just brought back home my own blue Rocabar (cw 04)!!
I liked the mustard coloured one even a little more, but being blond and pale (especially in winter), the blue one was just so much nicer on me... I truly LOVE it!

Haha! I had an identical reaction.
OMG this is the exact piece I too was convinced to try on a couple months ago and loved it but it was over $7K in my country and had the same reaction as well! It did make me fall in love with the blanket look and two weeks ago when I was holed up at home with the flu, I did admire them when I came across them on arabesques blog. I'd seen them on the website before but it's so much better on an actual person. Then a week ago this thread happened and I figured it was a divine sign from the universe that I should go ahead and use some bonus funds that arrived that day to grab one!
This was just fate!
You coundn't do anything else!! For sure! 
And even having the flu was not THAT bad in the end...!
Israeli Flava Miss RocabarSensational photos , you wear it with great panache . Like the ankle boot look v much too .Honestly, static photos of this piece just don't do it justice!
Watching the poncho in action is soooo much better.
It can look like a blanket when one is just standing there, but natural movement brings it to life and shows how beautiful it really it. Is that a stretch to say?
Goodness IF.... This is perfection on you!
Thank you for sharing photos and you're right about the slightly heeled boots - it does give the silhouette a more formal look. I thought it was worth quoting this because it's so right about the natural movement and having it on. Congratulations on the beautiful piece and again many thanks for starting this thread
