My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike :party: .

The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:



The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.
 
Scarf mail!
I lost a darling moussie gav this summer, I’ve been very upset about it and have looked high and low searching for it. It’s an older scarf so I didn’t think I’d ever find another - but I did and I am so happy. Here’s my new cutie - La Musique des Spheres

Of course now I’ll find my first one... and that would make me very happy!
Oh, that is really beautiful! So glad you were able to find another.

It turns out that every CSGM I own, I bought first in a 100% silk format.
My most recent ones were Act 3. Picked very different CWs.

Le sigh! It’s is truly wonderful
.Jeu de Soie from a year or two ago. I'm wearing it with a silk duster in deep avocado green with a khaki toile de jouy contrast. Very hard to find HS that did not fight the toile. The 80's "scarf prints" of H for some reason didn't work. I saw the Jeu de Soie laying on top of a pile and found that the deep autumnal colors of olive, sienna, dark teal, various shades of gold, and pale pink worked reasonably well with the duster. Serendipity!
Serendipitous indeed!
Ohmigoodness - these colors are marvelous!

Thank you!
 
Somehow I managed to be off-topic today. Maiden voyage of new-to-me L'Ivresse! I'm so pleased with this one. And I adore the subject matter - so arty and science-y at the same time.

Apparently this Hermes scarf was the source of all Elizabeth May's problems - who'd a thunk it? Those little squares of Hermes silk apparently have the power to change the world order! :smile:

This is the blog that got me interested in L'ivresse. Still haven't encountered a cw that makes my heart beat faster, but I know it's out there somewhere :amuse:

OMGOMGOMG! You own this exceptional?! Simply amazing! Have you worn it? You are one lucky gal
I missed it first time round. Exactly one piece came to my H, but it was snapped up in an instant. Then someone else on tpf decided to get the tabac Della Cavalleria instead, and asked me if I would be interested to take this over :P
I've worn it a few times. Only when I go somewhere cold... I like that I can fold it to be plain or fancy.

Love all your CSGMs... And, I also have this in common with you, (although my collex of CSGMs is much more modest) I owned the 90 version before each of my shawls

Looks wobderful!

One of my fav designs of all time... Fantastic CWs!

Hard to believe that your L’arbre dU vents are the same cw. Look very different the way you tied. Love all the vibrant colors on you!
Yes... This is such a chamaleojic design!

My SOTD made me think about how H sometimes redesigns for reissues in other formats. I'm wearing Nothing but a Dreamer with Coupe de Gala gav. The 90cm version of Coupe had a more elaborate border, much like for the CSGM version of Fetes Venetiennes which had (IIRC) an extended border. Not every design is scalable. Nothing but a Dreamer is so detailed that it would just fuzz out as a gav but I would definitely buy it if it were issued as a 90 finesse. I find it interesting how H has so many ways to macro and micro a design. Some gavs show only a portion of the 90 design, like Jardin Maharani Recadre or Noel au Faubourg. I liked the losange redesign of Fouets et Badines shown by @MAGJES earlier (wishlisted!).

Thank you!! You would look great in one, too! Just sayin’... :graucho:


Thank you! There is no high like an H high!


Thank you, dear Croisette! I love your delicate pink cw, too - that one never made it into my store (at least I don’t think). I would’ve loved to have tried it on. You just couldn’t go wrong with any of the cws!


I totally agree! It’s very interesting - I wouldn’t have looked at that cw normally but Fifi’s photos were so convincingly gorgeous, I had to try it on to see for myself!


Awww, thank you, dear!
You simply must get both of the rainbow scarf b/c both look equally stunning on you. One is soft and subtle and the other is pure pizzaz. There's going to be opportunities to wear both. Plus you tie them so well.

Ooh, yes, please do - the giant silk is a fabulous format!! And which cws do you have in the 90s? I think Aline Honore is the artist I have the most multiples of, and I know many others feel the same, so we’re in good company!


Pautinka, I loooooove your cw so much - it would’ve been my cw of choice had I not owned the hot pink 90 and had my store gotten one so I could try it on. If they had, I’m not sure I could’ve resisted it! But the blue filled a hole in my collection and I felt the need to broaden my color palette of primarily purples and pinks. And the high contrast of the white on the trees was so insanely beautiful. The only reservation was the red - I thought the red on the shells was too bricky at first. I’ve since attributed that opinion to temporary insanity. :lol: And you’re so right, the design translates so well in scale on the large format.


I know!! It was the first time I actually experienced the magic of neutrals! Usually neutrals wash me out but there’s something about all the gradations of grey that make this one special.


Omg, your losanges are fabulous!!! I need to pay more attention to them.


Hahaha, thanks! It’s actually easy to do at home (though I do get the highlights bleached at the salon). The hardest part is mixing the colors and getting what you wanted! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve colored it and waited for it all to dry so I can see if it was the color I was aiming for.


Oh, haha, I realized I’ve cropped all the pics to show off the scarf and am not showing too much hair. I’ll post others so you can see it. It’s not a perfect match but I’m happy with it. Thank you, too, for being such a wonderful enabler!


Thanks! Which rainbow? The bold or pastel? I tried both and actually liked the pastel for me but the bold one is wonderful, too. That contrasting cobalt hem is awesome.

My sister in Sieste! You look fab in all of these! Am very jelly you have two more scarves than I do and in such scrumptious cws!
 
Since we had a drop in temps here, I have been enjoying my shawls. My SOTD was Zenobie CSGM today to visit the USA Antiques and Jewelry Show. This year was a special treat for me as I met up with @eagle1002us ... So wonderful to meet a scarfie and fellow vintage jewelry aficionado!

That middle Zenobie really calls to me. It's so pretty and cheerful.
