I think you’re on theme, bc this is a very ‘hygge’ look! Love it.
Gorgeous shawl! So many eye catching textures. The light red and minty green make for a holidays-esque cw!
Oh yes, this is so Christmas-y with the pearls too! Love the little figures on the scarf.
Oh that’s right! Lol this is one of my favorites mini vignettes in this design but I always forget about it come the holidays. Lovely with your sweater!
I am definitely guilty of buying liquor bottles bc I love the shape. And then once I use them up, if it wasn’t good I’ve definitely bought a higher quality one and then just filled up the beautiful bottle again and keep notes of which one it actually is on my phone hahahaha.
That Au Coin is a perfect holiday scarf! Radiant on you. And of course Zabavushka is so festive. I had the opportunity to buy this last week and was too slow! Maybe someday.
Nicely paired with your jacket!
Beautiful tones of red. I love red and a good cream color together. Sometimes I wish my Jardin Anglais was red and cream instead of the stark white background.
The ultimate festive scarf, in probably the happiest colorway! It pops so nicely against the black.
Perfectly angelic and wintry! I love your lippie also.
Oh, my dear @LKBNOLA, I am sure we can do better than this! Always happy to enable, I mean ‘help’ 🤣@Lellabelle-- my bar cart is the subject of fond amusement as almost every bottle is chosen for its visual impact (Skull vodka, Bombay Sapphire Blue, Maker's Mark with the red wax dripping, etc...) and I am not one for cocktails so it makes it even funnier to everyone! But I may hit you up for recipes, even so! And thank you for your always lovely comments...
I’m not much of a vodka drinker, and the skull bottle really is quite unique, so I’d keep that (you can always refill it at some point!)
For the gins, there are some excellent choices now. The rise in the craft gin movement had produced some exceptional gins. Some of which come in lovely bottles. Keeping in mind the aesthetic sensibilities of your cart, when it comes time to refresh these, you might take a look out for:
The Isle of Harris gin (an excellent Scottish gin, that comes in a beautiful bottle that reminds me ever so slightly of reticello glass)
Or Mermaid gin (the scaled bottle, with its ombré blue, is adorable)
A wallet friendly alternative is Citadelle, an excellent French gin that is delicate enough to tempt even non-gin aficionados and makes a superb martini. It also comes in a very attractive fluted blue bottle. I always have a bottle, or two, of this on the cart. It’s not robust enough for many cocktails, but it’s a great pairing in gin-forward drinks where a clean gin is a must.
A personal favourite martini gin, when I can find it, is Bacur. It’s an Italian gin, with bright juniper and excellent balance. It comes in a beautiful copper finished bottle that is quite unique (and probably speaks to our love of orange packaging here 😊)
And, sticking with the Italian theme, if you can find it, Italicus is a superb addition to the bar cart, that also comes in a beautiful bottle. It’s an Italian bergamot liqueur, which is delicious in a martini! Just reduce the vermouth and add a little of this (up to 20% for a more prominent flavour)
Just to make you laugh, I also recently bought a gin just for the stunning packaging (so can take some of the ‘heat’ from you
) The contents are distinctly average, but the presentation is outstanding. It’s not the first to use butterfly pea flower for the intense purple-blue colour it imparts (and which changes to lavender-pink with the addition of citrus to change the pH), but it is the first I know of to add pearl mica. It looks like a swirling galaxy in a bottle.
You really need to see it in motion to capture the effect; the pearl mica disperses through the liquid and shimmers through the indigo like the Milky Way in motion. Mine is likely to remain a display bottle too - it’s too pretty to consume and there are better options above!
Well, that’s my public service for the beautification of bar carts over!
Enjoy!
As if all of the pretty scarves here aren’t enough, now I want that aqua bottle 😂Oh, my dear @LKBNOLA, I am sure we can do better than this! Always happy to enable, I mean ‘help’ 🤣

Oh, I really love this design and in the best cw possible. You look beautiful!
That’s so cute - I love this detail. I notice you’ve matched this gorgeous 70 with your lovely blue VCA earrings.
Two perfect designs for the season. That Zabavushka is just stunning.
So festive and cheerful!
Thank you for sharing, moma. Love the details and jacquard.
Knockout outfit! @Jereni
The gradient effect is beautiful.
Super party scarf. I can see this being spot on for a New Year’s Eve party, twin.
So happy to see more of this design this week! It makes me happy. I love hearing that you collected snow globes. I bought my children one each from Norway last year and they’re always playing with them.
This is an incredible piece. I’m glad you kept this one - it’s perfection!
@Maedi and @Redbirdhermes have modeled their beautiful cws of L’Hiver en Poste. Yesterday I wore mine, a cw I love and find festive for the holidays. I would love to acquire a different cw, perhaps this one, as there were many beautiful cws issued over the years.
The Bull and Mouth Inn was a coaching in in the City of London and dated from 1666. It was once an important arrival and departure point for coaches from all over Britain, but particularly for the north of England and Scotland. It was demolished in 1888. James Pollard painted this scene which is the basis of Ledoux’s design and research tells me this is the Duke of Beaufort Coach.
The coach is dated 1686.

With my Santa Moon pin and tied with a beautiful MOP given to me by a dear friend here.
Showing the matte blanc:
Hope your day is merry and bright!

This is amazing packaging, Lellabelle, especially the Taynton Bay, so beautiful and inviting. Thank you for contributing to the cocktail side of this theme!Oh, my dear @LKBNOLA, I am sure we can do better than this! Always happy to enable, I mean ‘help’ 🤣

Reaching for festive reds again on a warm-ish day with a combination of an H scarf and a hand-knit shawl.
So pretty and beautifully coordinated, Tea. Yes, it is warm here, too.
It occurred to me today that my Animapolis is in somewhat icy, wintry tones:
@Lellabelle - so many great gin recommendations! I love Citadelle as well. Another I’ve been trying recently is this Empress 1908 Indigo, which tends to produce purple cocktails lol.

Lol, I’ll contribute with something scarf related tonight, after work!
It is truly a winter beauty and so much fun @Redbirdhermes-- I really love your darl grey sweater also!
Never fear @PoliticalGal! I picked up where you left off-- I am up to two CSGM and three 90s I love this design so much. The one you kept is stunning-- fabulous colors on you!
Thank you on all counts @Jereni! We must find you a Zabavushka, for sure!
Well, my bar cart and I are suitable chastened but eager to step up our game! I shared your photos with my gin-savvy sister (that sounds worse than it is somehow) and she just laughed and said I was sadly late to the party. The good news is that next time I am in New Orleans I will be giving my pretty cart a make-over! Very partial to the Mermaid bottle and the Italicus because they are so lovely and the Taynton Bay for the cool narrative vibe and conversational value! Thank you so much for my "gin-timental education" @Lellabelle!!!!Oh, my dear @LKBNOLA, I am sure we can do better than this! Always happy to enable, I mean ‘help’ 🤣

Thank you, sweet @GloWW0rM -- my holidays scarves, though infrequently worn bring me real joy! And to this day I cannot resist a snow globe. I just bought one with a unicorn in it for my granddaughter! 🦄
I love this history lesson on a scarf @Karenska! So fabulous. I love the green cw and I agree, there are so many beautiful ones and even quire subtle variations on the main colors, too. The matte blanc is beautiful and your whole outfit is beautifully festive. I wore my MOP earlier this week as well
Thank you also for the scarf/sweater compliment. I went to JCrew earlier in the season to buy a few "babyproof" sweaters and found these lovely and comfortable ones they call "supersoft yarn"-- there were wonderful color options and easy to care for.
Well, y'all. It is a two scarf day for me today. I finally-- finally-- received my last piece from the 1024 AW season. This is the very first item I reserved at the boutique last summer and it is the very last to manifest, barely making it before the year end! I can't really say this is "holiday" but there is that beautiful brick-red hem. And it is making its debut at a small holiday gathering.
All'Orto Botanico di Palermo in caramel. Thrilled to be twins with @Croisette7.
