Amazing additions, including a gorgeous Samourais! And, I didn’t know that Modernisme Tropical was issued as a pareo! Gosh, it’s fabulous! The Chevaux a la Collection is magnificent and all are beautifully styled
Oh wow… Congrats! It is amazingMy nominee today for, ”The One That Almost Got Away…” La Vallee de Cristal (didn’t I warn you, I can’t stop wearing it?!?!). When I learned of it months ago, and perused all the colorways online, I couldn’t decide which I liked best. Then some brilliant scarfie said something that I think also crossed my mind - how it reminded her of Anne McCaffrey’s Crystal Singer series. This cw in particular reminds me of how the world looked to Killashandra before her “adaptation” when suddenly what seemed like the dull colors she was surrounded in exploded into a brilliant riot!
Well, fast forward to, I’m in the boutique, The Scarf is in my hand. I was still unsure of the cw (did I relate to the monochromatic landscape of the “before,” or the explosion of color “after” the transformation??? The only other cw they had didn’t fit the bill….). So, I left it there. And fretted. And showed DH who voted for the monochrome version (I didn’t even try to explain the book!). Still I fretted - should I contact the kind SS that provided his business card, to see if it was still available? Shouldn’t I? Days (seems like weeks) passed. Of course, you already know the ending - it WAS still available, and was kindly set aside waiting for me to pick it up 😍
Today I have hidden the unicorn away… she will be our little secret:

Love your categories… That Fanfare stole my heart, tooGood morning!!!
I have some more nominees for my personal Oscarfs, and here are the statues for the Good , the bad and the really ugly scarves of 2023.
As you know, I like vintage scarfs - both for their looks, the possibilities of doing a bargain and for the thrill of the chase.
I also love how they sometime really reflect their age in design and colors.
In 2023 two scarves came to me, which I would not say are particular beautiful, but certainly have their charm.
My Bad scarf Award goes to very Brown Skyros, and the ugly scarf Awards goes to Alfabeth. The ‘ugly’ label has been put on by DD, whom, as I Think I have mentioned before, declared this scarf to be the ugliest she had ever seen

Then let us turn to the more bright side of life - the Good Scarf!
This year I got my hand on one of the most beautiful cw of scarves I know - the black/green/fuchsia/pink Coeur de la Vie. I have not worn it yet, just tried it on and admired it.

Second statue of the Day is for Best Scarf Swap.
The story goes: I was offered to purchase a brand new in box with reciept marine Super silk quest. Someone had bought it as a gift, but plans had changed, and they could not get a refund and just wanted some kind of cash in hand for it.
Having just acquired the green SSQ I politely declined, but after a month they offered it to me for half the prize. My inner scarf goblin awoke, I bought it and the next Day I went Into the H shop and swapped it without any questions for this wonderful Parade et Fanfare - which I adore, and have both sisters and twins in here who feel the same I am sure.
Oscarf for Best Scarf Swap (and bargain) goes to :

Wish you a Day full of both Parades and Fanfares!!!
It is fabulous
What a delightful twilly! And, so creatively styled as always
Gaaaah! It is sublime! I am your sister on this beauty and I relate to that special thrill of wearing a super vintage scarf issued on our birth years!Well, dear friends, some of y'all have posted vintage scarves and some of you have posted scarves that are older than your tender years and still others have posted "golden oldies," but I have yet to see an award for a vintage scarf worn by a scarfie of the exact same vintage, so here goes. The Oscarf "Lifetime Achievement Award" goes to this lovely silk who, like me completed 70 turns around the sun in 2023.
Les Chemins de l'Iles de France, 1953

It took me a few years of planning and quite a bit of help and advice from folks here and in other corners of the Scarf Universe to find this so it may also deserve an award for most successful collective search...
View attachment 5922565
Gaaaah! So incredibly lovely
Love this one… My favorite CW and I am happy to be your twin
Ties like a dream!
Fabulous choices! I find myself staring at the beauty of Tulipomanie as well… and that Boucleries Moderne is so special! I got it because of the jacquardIn 2023 I purchased 5 in-season scarves. I work really hard to keep my in-season full cost purchases down since I have so many vintage I love and hunt for. And well…price increases leave a sour taste in my mouth. Once upon a time I bought 90’s for what $350 several years back, before Covid?
I actually love them all!! I bought studio bc DD plays the piano and orange cuit works well on me. I bought the marble because this marble isn’t just pastels and has that red I love, and least amount of blank background color of all my other marbles I have rehomed. I bought the bouclerie totally by surprise when saw in boutique and just fell in love. I bought costumes Bc I will buy any scarf with such strong cultural connection, and for cyclamen color, plus folk art vibes.
But if I was to award a “favorite 2023 season Oscarf” then it would go to Tulipomanie. I gasp when I unfold it. It’s so gorgeous. And I plan to add more cw’s for under retail whenever they may come up. But just the one Tulip for retail price is my rule.

Nowwwww for 2023 seasons I am still not done. Waiting for Colibri!! No idea which cw
View attachment 5922801
All three are spectacular. I am delighted to be your sister on the first two and twins on Canadian Wild… You can never go wrong with any of these… A dream to style, too
Well, these are positively stunning! You are so lucky to get that gorgeous DUJA and the shawl is magnificent… Happy to be your Costume de Fete twin… The most lively and vibrant pop of colors ever! And, please feel better soon!
Magnificent!!
Well...in order to even think of participating this week, I had to "consult" my scarf spreadsheet as I couldn't actually remember what I acquired this past year. Now that either means 1- I have too many scarves (and that is true 
) or 2- I am losing my mind (also true... 
)
Brightest scarf of the year in no doubt goes to the exceptional Marble cashmere losange decorated with Kyoto Marble flowers, and trimmed in Jungle Love Rainbow. This is also my SOTD today because it is cold, and wet, and breezy which makes it all seep in...
Favorite Men's Scarf 2023 is the cheeky Surfing Fan cotton/silk (archive pic)
Longest Sought Grail (of this year) goes to Casques et Plumets moussie, which took 7 years to find:
And that narrowly beat out Soies Volants pareo so I'll post the "runner up" for searches too.
So we'll give Soies Volants a Best Pareo find thumbs up.
Favorite Twilly purchase: GTN

All amazing, but those vibrant blues are incredible! And, yes, I was happy to double up on Costume de Fete with this eye popping blue CW! We twin on the white Tulipomanie but I always admired your blue CW… It is so fabulous

Thank you, Fifi. The thing I find about Tulipomanie is that it is definitely not a 'goes with everything' sort of scarf design. This beauty demands to be center stage, as it were. But, I think that it is worth it.
Wow on the exceptional marble cashmere. I don't recall seeing this beauty before. Definitely an Oscarf of the Year winner!Well...in order to even think of participating this week, I had to "consult" my scarf spreadsheet as I couldn't actually remember what I acquired this past year.

Simply beautiful and perfectly curated choices for you @Nomad! Twins on the Tulipomanie and agree with every word you said.

That is so beautiful and vibrant @paula24jen-- I think I see how you did that-- sisters on the ring -- I'd love to use it more!
A definite Oscarf winner for you @redheaddem-- it is perfect.
These are wonderful choices for your awards @Jereni and I speak from experience as we are twins on two and sisters on the third! You wear them all so beautifully.
You had a beautiful year with your very lovely purchases @GloWW0rM -- your scarves have to compete with your gorgepous smile but they hold their own and enhance your coloring perfectly.
I hope you and your family have a quick recovery.OK, well this deserves every award and it is my grail Sieste CSGM so I am in complete agreement with you @FA73! Wowza. If I ever find one, I will post it every single day of awards week as the winner in every category also. Of course now you have enabled everyone to want one so it will become even more of a unicorn than it is... Just stunning. I am overwhelmed...

Here are some more 2023 new-ins, each one award-worthy in my book…
The Oscarf for Shawl of the Year goes to Faubourg Tropical… It is actually the only CSGM I got this year, but I’m pretty sure it would’ve gotten the top award for it is divine!
Here, as I wore it out to dinner on New Years Eve
The Oscarf to Best Giant Silk of the year goes to Planisphere d’un Monde Equestre… My Grail Aloha Ala Moana is in a special category, and this was the only other giant silk I purchased late last year and have already worn it multiple times…
And, now a special Oscarf to The Return of the One that Got Away… LOL… Just like Dans un Jardin Anglais, I tried this one on not once but twice at the Hermès boutique in 2017, but was too dazzled by Samourais and other designs to commit to it, so I left it behind, lost it and always regretted it. Well, I am delighted to have found it again in the same CW this year: Chacun Fait Son Nid
Biarritz which was issued in 1954 was the oldest scarf I purchased this year, but she belongs to the Grail category, so I will give the Oscarf to the Most Vintage Scarf of the Year to Pavement which was issued in 1970

They are all beautiful and Oscarf-worthy @Living.la.vida.fifi but oh, my I do love Pavements so so much and your gorgeous black/gold is a stunner! (thank you also for your comments on "our" vintage scarf!)
The Faubourg and the necklace are divine, fifi!
My last post of today (I should have really grouped them into one, so thank you for indulging me!). is another first. I think of @Redbirdhermes as the Queen of de Poret designs here as she has collected them so assiduously since I have been participating. I so admire her collection. His work is so very beautiful and tender and true that I am always compelled by the designs but they are generally out of reach in terms of availability and price. To date I had only the 70 reissue of Les Bassets, which is wonderful but I longed for some birds, or dogs or deer... le sigh. Well 2023 was the year I found my first (and probably only) Xavier de Poret, Les Tourterelles. Incidentally this scarf was listed by the reseller as "brown" and the photos did seem to support that... I asked for more and..voila!
My 2023 Oscarf for Best Artist goes Les Tourterelles
A tiny little Oscarf statuette also goes to me for the first time securing a scarf with magnets and causing no injury to myself, the mirror or any innocent bystanders during the process

Thank you RBh! I am not sure if I added this one to the exceptional thread, but I believe you can see one on the first few pages of the thread.
I love that CF Son N! I have searched for one of the twillies in that CW for some time.
Thank you dear Croisette!
Thank you LKB! I am glad to say my moussie collection feels pretty complete.
