Our theme this week is practically tailormade for us! How often do we gasp at the beauty of a scarf or
when we see a scarfie's modshot? Let's bring out our stunners this week!
À bout de souffle
Stunning scarves which leave you Breathless
I can still recall the first time I grabbed the phone and called the boutique. "Do you have Sieste au Paradis? It's the scarf with the picture of cliffs. No, I don't know the cw. It's in blue and red." The helpful SA ran with my barebones description and found it for me!

It doesn't happen all that often, but every now and then, a scarf will seize my attention and overwhelm me with desire. Sometimes, it's because of the design or the colour. Sometimes it's because of a single element in the design (ahem - bunnies...). Oftentimes it's because of the format (I'm partial to 70s and silk/cotton). Occasionally it's because a scarfie here wore it and stole my breath away!
A couple of scarves which I bought for a lark and stunned me when they arrived. Neither are grails or special editions or even hard to find. But when I opened the package, I fell in love. Their common denominator: both are jacquards.
Jouvence, which I wanted because it was one of the few designs created by Leila Menchari. The fireworks jacquard is tdf! And the peachy orange cw was surprisingly pleasant.

The other jacquard is Plumes et Grelots with a holly jacquard. I like this shade of blue, but it frequently doesn't photograph true. So I have bought scarves before which I thought were this steel blue but turned out to be quite different from what I expected. This was not only the blue I wanted, it bowled me over with the luxe silk jacquard and the delicately detailed design!
