Thank you, dear!Twins, lkb! I love this! It was my very first grail. That turquoise hem blew my mind!
Thanks, cookie!
Argh! There you go again, pirula!
HE, I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this post. Your week has been so thoughtful and brilliantly curated. Thank you for hosting!
Gorgeous, croisette!
Dearest, K. I am so sorry. ❤
Lanit, this is beautiful. Thank heavens I look awful in white or I would be off searching, swimming away from ban island.
Congrats, Jereni. Your Minuit is spectacular!
Thanks, fifi. And I have colibri envy here!
Wow, wow, wow. You look radiant in this. Love it.Not sure how to wing this one on theme today. Truth is, I just wanted to wear it

In the late 1800s large urban areas were in crisis. The common mode of transportation at that time was a horse and buggy, with many families owing a single horse. Horses are large animals which were never intended to live in great numbers in urban areas due to the copious amounts of manure that they produce. Cities were drowning in manure, streets were covered with the poo that liquefied when it rained, sewer systems were failing, disease was spending thanks to dead horse carcasses laying around, you get the idea. Architecture even changed to lift building entrances higher to keep the slew of flowing manure out of homes. Here is a picture of a New York City street in 1893.
This is another famous photo of a London street taken during that same era. In 1894 the Times predicted that in 50 years every street in London would be buried under 9 feet of manure.
We know the horse manure crisis was averted thanks to the invention of the automobile. This example of technology to the rescue is often cited as a reason to wait and not worry about our current crises.
Thank you for a wonderful week of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, @HermesEchidna. Many weeks I am able to select my future scarf of the day candidates ahead of time. But, given your clever and imaginative sub-themes, virtually none of the scarves I actually wore were selected in advance. This is true of my choice today as well.
One place in the US where horses remain the primary form of transportation is Mackinac Island in northern Michigan, since cars are not allowed. In 2007 actor and star of "Dirty Jobs", Mike Rowe, went to Mackinac Island and shoveled horse manure. I remember the stable hand extoling the virtues of the French Percheron horses that they used on the island, and Mike replying that he was honored to shovel such high quality Percheron poo.
In any case, I'm delighted to be wearing my final STEM scarf of the week, which I never figured was STEM. Chevaux de France shows various breeds of French horses.
Whenever I see the Percheron on this scarf, I think of Mike Rowe shoveling their "high quality" manure, and it makes me giggle.
I'm wearing Chevaux de France as my scarf of the day, which happens to be tied to showthe business end of the Percheron.

On theme with astrologie sunrise today. Originally inspired by @cookiefiend
Beautiful! I am almost twins with you - mine is with oatmeal and teal.. I love how you paired it with your jacket!
It is a beautiful knot and a perfect match with your ensemble. Can you give an insight how you accomplished the knot? I have a couple of moussies and usually I get lost when trying to knot them... do you fold them along the diagonal and then knot or something else?
I’m hesitant to say, bc of lurkers. Given that it’s quite over priced, it may not be that much of a risk, but it’s also new with tag still attached, so I feel like someone else may decide it’s worth paying the premium.
Thank you! In the first pic, I *was* using a chain and it was tied to that to leave a little space. But it wasn’t really sitting well. Maybe I need to try the Mors ring.
So happy to see this special colorway of Les Triples modeled. Love the way you tied it.
Beautifully tied, looks like a cascade, Awillow.
Thank you, Ashanti ... would like to see yours, if possible.
Horses! Back from errands and now, in my typical high/low - or probably more accurately low/high - fashion, Robe du Soir for dog walking.
