I started to collect mousselines a year and a half ago and they have stolen my heart. So any list of my favorites will have to include my favorite moussies. These are the last three to complete my Baker’s Dozen.
I will begin with my first and, to this day, favorite mousseline: Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s Offrandes d’un Jour. The exotic, wildly colorful florals on the black background make for a masterpiece that is romantic, striking, and so easy to wear. Here are two knots made with this beauty
Another amazing mousseline in my collection is Alice Shirley’s Under the Waves. I am lucky to own two CWs of this masterful swath of silk that depicts the rich and colorful underwater paradise of the Great Barrier Reef. The blending and intermingling of the patterns as the silk is folded adds a dimension that appears as liquid and complex as the ocean
Finally, this year I bought two stoles for the first time and am in awe at their beauty. They are Wlodek Kaminski’s marvelous La Voie Lactee. The colors of these changeants are beyond description. Dramatic and enigmatic, they are true showstoppers. I also own the glow-in-the-dark 90 edition of this design and must include it as it is one of the most rare and unique creations in Hermès history
Although we have all been challenged by this week’s theme, it has been delightful to host it, to show you my offerings and to delight in all of the wonderful silks that have been shared

Thanks so much, Fifi. To be exact, it is Ex Libris Madras bandana. I am becoming quite taken with it, too, and my husband adores it!
As a collector who just took the moussie plunge with Le Monde Est Vaste and the EL madras moussie bandana, Fifi, I am delighted and in awe of your beautiful mousselines on display here. In fact this has been quite a moussie day with @Cookiefiend showing us her amazing collection, too.
Your Voie Lactees are incredibly beautiful and I can only imagine what they look like IRL. I’m still trying to understand how to tame them
; the madras felt like I was wearing a cloud, and that’s just a 55! I first folded it into a triangle with the two tails tied behind my neck and the point in front, but it bobbed up into my chin and it felt uncomfortable. So I tamed it into a bias fold and tied a low knot in front, as you saw in my mod shot.Playing with my Le Monde Est Vaste moussie.

These are all so fabulous. I will have to admit that I was happy with my ELEK collection but when I saw a previous post of you wearing that striking colorful 90 I immediately went on a vigorous hunt to locate one. I’m happy to say that she has arrived and is an absolute beauty. I’ve also always admired your amazing Kachinas collection and would love to one day add the 90 turquoise. I love the green corners.
We are MT twins in this gorgeous colorway. It looks great with your green plaid pants.
I love your new addition and what a great look with your vivid pink top.Y’all know how much I love birds - I grew up with parakeets and both my mother and grandmother (and now me too) love watching them and listening to them.
So scarves 5 and 6 have feathers!
Plumes (yes I’m cheatin’ a lil bit)

I am still kicking myself for selling this one. I always thought it washed me out but it’s such a beauty. Your top is perfect paired with this colorway.
Your Savana colorway is gorgeous! I continue to look for this glorious colorway of Jungle Love. One day…..!Although I haven't really had time this week to think about 10 favorites, much less 12 or 13...here are a couple of my personal favorites that I have worn recently. Most of them are going to involves flowers or cats, that much I can tell you without thinking about it!
Savana Dance still tops the lists in the favorites

i adore your aqua Animapolis!Soooooo...I took a photo of my sotd which also made it into my bakers dozen for the theme this week, Tresors d’un Artiste. I wore it two ways today. And sadly realized the green matched better in indoor light than outdoor light :-/. Oops. I had time to play and tie it two ways today through the day. Thennnnnnn I decided to play with a new buy from h.com, Animapolis. This purchase was a “let me see what the fuss is about”, “ I just dont think I like such busy scarves in 90’s, but don’t know until you know”. Well, as you can imagine... It was love at first sight with the design, but especially with the colors! These gorgeous sorbet like colors that shine. Now I have to rethink my 13 because this One made it onto the island with me!! I can’t Believe it! And @PangurBan and @Thelittlefoxes. Its because of you that I took the plunge haha.
