I travel with my little blue carry-on just to hold my Hermes purchases (the best part of vacation). One return trip it held multiple silks and some leather goodies. My job was to pay for parking the car for the week while DH's job was to load all of the luggage. When I got to the car my blue case was missing! In a panic I asked DH where it was and he walked around the building and found it on the sidewalk near the front of the parking lot. Whew! On the way home he mentioned perhaps it was a ghost that had moved the case so he didn't see it. I think my reply was something like 'oh we almost had a ghost in the family if my goodies had disappeared.' We laugh often about it now but it was scary at the time! This 70 Phoenix was one of the the items I believe.

Off topic this week, wearing my Cosmographia, one of my favorite scarves.
"bunny girl: I'm
My Chinese name means "moon" and my sister was named after the "bunny girl".
Twins on the literature major!
I did my Honours degree in literature. During our finals, one guy walked out of the Shakespeare paper and thus failed to get his degree. The people who were sitting near him in the exam hall were badly startled (traumatized?) as Shakespeare was the one paper that none of us would ever fail after studying literature for 8 years.
Hi^5 twin!
Walked out of the exam hall?! He must be real brave to forgo even trying omg! I’ve never seen anyone do that during my course
We should really do a local gathering with scarves and Shakespeare HAHAHA. Really love my Act III scarf and trying to acquire a colourful one without busting my budget
The flourishes in this design are so elegant... love the way you’ve styled it
Beautiful color combination with your cream sweaterI’m on a roll with my third consecutive posting! Feel good to be an active part of this scarf community
Continuing with the friendship knot today is Jungle Love Rainbow in CW16

I love how scarves help create personal sunshine
Fabulous hem!
I’m such a fan of this colorway paired with blue
SOTD is Musée. Nothing scary about that, but a lovely scarf in a lovely cw.
LOL, When Croisette posted this beautiful scarf (I bought 2 backups for the rose pale gold one inspired by the beautiful photos of Laurenad and Foxy trini ...), I finally tried really hard to rationally determine too whether ... Only to finally have my SA order it - just like the yellow one (not my colour at all, but "doable" with cowboy-knot) - so much for rational - fruitless for me and H scarves so far, sigh.Stunning!!Am I correct in understanding that this pastel dream is not on white but an off white background? What colour is the hem? I am in
! This looks amazing on you! I too would love to know where these amazing colours lie? Warm pastels?
I need a colour wheel, some paper and pen and about five hours to figure this out on my own
Scary, isn't it? - and thus fitting to this week's topic?
(@Croisette and @Nomad: Thank you for your beautiful photos - smitten, though my wallet says: Bad - bad influence)

Provence 31 October in the year of 1894.
The bells of the clock tower has just struck midnight. The little boy stood shivering in the lavender field, its flowers long since withered in the cold autumn. Suddenly the quiet of the night is broken by the sound of horses hoofs thundering on the ground. Out of nowhere a carriage appears, pulled by six black stallions, urged on by the whip from the coachman. It races through the field as if it is chased by the devil itself. Its elaborate lanterns, swinging by the movements of the coach, are casting a dim glow in the night. The boy’s blood turns to ice at the sight of the headless coachman.
This is the first recorded sighting of the carriage. It is rumoured to only be sighted on the night of all hallows eve. Witnesses claim the carriage bears the insignia of the empress dowager Cixi of the Qing dynasty. To this day, it remains a mystery to what happened to the carriage and the unfortunate fate bestowed upon its coachman and why it is haunting the French countryside.
As a tribute to this weeks theme, I am for my scarf Friday wearing Coup de Gala gavroche with matching lipstick in orange boite.

Very pretty in hot pink, Maedi!
Thank you, there is no bad colour.
I have the pink as well, twin!
Thank you so much, turf!The flourishes in this design are so elegant... love the way you’ve styled it

So chic paired with sweater and lipstick, Nahreen!
Thank you so much Croisette. I do so love orange and of course I could not resist the lipstick. I also have orange Dior nailpolish to match. Have not tested the Hermes nailpolishes yet since I have not visited my store after the launch.
A bonus shot of your bonus shot!
My new to me Fantaisie Pittoresque, not at all scary in subject matter but deep black and antique gold so a bit spooky in look.
I didn’t know much about the artist, and I’m pretty sure I don’t have any other scarf by him, so did a bit of research:
François Houtin was born in Craon en Mayenne, France in 1950. He has lived and worked in Paris since 1971. He was trained as a landscape architect, and worked on such prominent projects as the renovation of the Jardin des Tuilleries in 1991. It wasn't until 1973 that he learned printmaking from Jean Delpech, and by 1979 he had become a full-time artist known for his highly detailed prints of utopian gardens. His prints mix equal parts of superb draughtmanship, deep appreciation for the history of Classical French landscape architecture, and his own unfettered imagination.

I love when you bring this one out. Wonderful base color. Love the light blue scarf ring too. And of course the best smile on here!
beautiful dip dye!
I must learn this know too. It is so cool. Love the four differences in the knot.
I second snausages! I can’t recognize the print either. Great accent colors
awe thank you! There are varying shades of off white and ivory to a cream and perhaps ( a big perhaps) a plain white. But by no means is there a bright white. Even the white on the animals has a sketch work of black/gray in it. The hem actually might be a white.
I am so glad I am not the only one who knows nothing about color. I’ll be waiting at the table for you w my own pen and paper too. I think @blydia has the knowledge for identifying if this is warm pastels or cool. I am posting more details in the A/W 21 thread. You’ll see where a white lies next to an ivory.
I still can’t get over how dreamy GTN15 is! Alas my cc is in the freezer until a boutique visit with a friend coming in from out of town (hahahaha unless a grail shows up somewhere- looking for a Tsitsika or Alice Shirleys). Hoping this is in so I can give it a try. 
I noticed it’s listed on the bay at well over retail. I swear the second someone mentions a design it magically shows up there at a nutty price
LOL - any screen name of mine is inspired by desperately looking around me for inspo
Your husband narrowly escaped a dread fate!
Beautiful colorway!
Night at the Museum could be considered a ghost story so you’re perfectly on theme!
I’ve been eying this online and thank you for showing how beautiful it is IRL! So much more evocative than their website
Love the knot!!!
