You deserve a medal! I don’t understand the abbreviations but will google them. How dear to see Frieda’s brothers. Your new CSGT is amazing, especially with the pink and soufre, a color I love.

Great combo
Remaining positive, hope to see your gorgeous GM irl.
What a vibrant scarf this is on you, especially paired with that turquoise jumper. I love it. Congrats on your new-in!
Thank you all so much! @orchard, toes and fingers crossed for you; @GloWW0rM, it is perhaps vibrant in a way that is different from my usual choices but I have fallen for it! I am happy you think it likes me backIt is splendid. I think I will wear mine today, too.

I love this one, too @EtsyBoss-- I share custody with my DD -- she loves the details, too and I love the pretty blue and the green "checked" border, so unexpected and fun. Here's ours, waving helloOne of my favorite CSGM, L'Epopee with its very pretty light blue background sprinkled with vibrant emerald green and soft rosy pink accents and so many lovely little details tracing the history of H.

Love the pink hem, LKBNOLA!
I love a good organ concert @Agrume and I love your Bal de Soie-- we are twins! I do love the format even though I am now firmly in love also with its bigger (double!) sisters. Bal de Soie in this cw was my most worn GT and it was a phenomenally useful piece during my early fall trip to Portugal. The GTs are so easy to wear and pack...Today a full day at work, but at home not too late. SOTD is one of the 2 giant triangles I own, not my most favourite format - I prefer a “full” CSGM. But the design, Bal de soie, is adorable. One of the masks pictures an organ - we listened to a fabulous organist (playing this organ) at the Christmas midnight mass.

How beautiful and your matching nail polish is so pretty @Croisette7!
TY @LKBNOLA and that shawl is truly magical! Love the way your top pulls out the blues in this!
I have 2 cashmere GTs (no giant silk GTs perhaps this needs to be rectified) - I find them more difficult to knot vs a straight 140 but it always works out

Your GTs are fabulous (and you know I confess that I ordered the magnets @Snausages, you influencer, you!). I love your cw of 12 Leopards CSGM and I'm amazed by the braid tie on Clic Clac!!! Than you also for the Jaguar and Hummingbird love...It makes no sense but somehow a GT just feels like, well, a triangle which I rarely do with any size. I could do the bias on the GT but then it feels so loooong.Will try to play a bit the next time I get dressed in something other than sweats 😎
And to keep things on topic I could try one of these knots

You may be Having a Day but your outfit is ruling the situation, for sure! Polka dots to the rescue @Cookiefiend! They can charm any palooza into submission...Woefully behind, please accept my apologies!
@Agrume what a great intro and I loved your last post with Bal de Soie - that organ must be extraordinary to hear.
I’m barely poking my head out of the Christmas Palooza that happened at my house… who knew I had so many plates, platters, wine glasses, gewgaws and doo-dads in my house?
And I still had to take the car in for service!
So today, I’m getting a break - cuz I’m at the office … which has had its own lolapalooza - but I am capable and I’m wearing a losange (extra absorbent to wipe way tears of frustration - stoopid cable company) with bright PINK polka dots.
Do polka dots fix everything?

A couple of you asked me about the new knot I have been embracing.
You have to fold the scarf in triangles twice, then add a scarf ring to one end and tie the ends behind your neck (I like to use a small scarf "ring" for that.)

All beauriful CWs of Le Jaguar et Le Colibri, and the design itself, makes it my favourite of the season. Your CW, however, is my personal best, SilkCouture, so double congrats! And - although it goes without saying - you look stunning in it, these are your colours
Always happy to oblige....ermmm....I mean, so sorry I did that to you!
You tame the pareos like a true master Snausages. They are a great compromise down here in the deep south. And thank you for the cashmere love.
It really does work and looks fab with that sweater. I think it is the navy and bronze accenting that make it a bold, but very wearable and versatile choice. Congrats on it!
A beautiful sentiment yuzulife, and a fabulous scarf! Beautifully tied for the week.
SC- this is fantastic on you!! Congrats on it!
Beautifully cozy HE!
Thank you Agrume! And thank you for hosting this week!
That is such a stunning deep colorway of this design. So painterly.
CongratulationsSilkCouture! Just wonderful on you!
Oh, congratulations @SilkCouture-- what a lovely choice. So interesting how the design changes with the respective colors! This is lovely on you. And I lost the quote but your red Selle Imaginaire was seasonally perfect also!
Wonderful new-in @Lellabelle - it’s amazing how just the right shade/tone of a color makes all the difference.
Fabulous knot @yuzulife - would love a tut!
Beautiful shawl @SilkCouture - like stained glass!
Gorgeous look @HermesEchidna - love the double strands of beads picking up the fun border
TY for the compliment @Marta_K and that Pirouette is stunning
😂 @bunnycat you are my cotton muse
TY for the lovely words @LKBNOLA and wow what elegant looks! I’ve not yet dipped my toes into the losange waters but the way you’ve worn the Pirouette is pushing me closer to the edge
TYSM @Croisette7 and your colors here are breathtaking! Love the CdC with this!
Brrrrr @Solday Hopefully that’s Celsius (but still cold!) but you’ve got a beauty to keep you cozy
Yes, that is a great knot because it shows so much of the scarf and is so easy to wear… Love this design and this is a fabulous CWLast week was an amazing display of silk and jewels! Special thanks to @Living.la.vida.fifi @Redbirdhermes @LKBNOLA for some gorgeous combos!

Can’t think of any artist from that period more suited to demonstrate the connection between portrait art, fashion and decoration, except perhaps, Boldini… What a gorgeous exhibit it must have been!Hello, everyone. I am just back from the beautiful exhibit "Fashioned by Sargent" at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I could have spent many more hours there just taking in the beauty and detail of the portraiture, garments, ornaments and the wonderful anecdotes accompanying many of the iconic works we know, such as Madame X. I fell in love with a piece that was previously unknown to me and, as it perfectly suits our theme, I made us a little collage of this intriguing painting titled "Cashmere." I included the description and also a photo of the shawl worn in the painting. I hope you enjoy this little souvenir of my delightful day!

It’s a mousseline. They are a lot more durable when one thinks, but I am not enthused about that price tag. I think they are hand dyed with a special technique, plus they have a small embroidery, which adds to the price. These types of scarves have been done before with think cashmere (although those were made in Nepal, I believe). If you google ‘Hermes ombré scarf,’ you will see some examples on the resale market.Does anybody know what kind of scarf this is and why it is so expensive? Is this a ‘moussie’ some of you refer to?
I find it stunning but unsure about price tag and durability?
In US also available in stunning yellow
