Happy Easter, dear scarfies!

The perfect Easter scarf dear @Croisette7! 😍

What a neat sub theme to conclude the week, @Lellabelle.

While I adore most all animals, there is one special one near and dear to me - Gorilla!

They have historically been misjudged, assumed to be vicious but in reality they are gentle giants. While they are capable of great physical strength, they rarely use it to harm anybody and are loyal protectors of their family group through a lot of posturing and vocalization before physical contact. That's a last resort. I'd say I aspire to be more like a gorilla. Kind, loyal, and circumspect. I hope that if I lived in the world of Harry Potter, my patronus would be a gorilla. That would be really cool! "The Patronus is a kind of Anti-Dementor – a guardian which acts as a shield between you and the Dementor." I'd be happy to have a gorilla as my patronus. Calm under pressure while ready to protect loved ones first through vocalizations / strength of words and then only when absolutely necessary - physical aggression.

I know of only one Hermès scarf with a gorilla on it, and it is only a partial gorilla - just the face but oh it's a good one! Jan Bajtlik's Animapolis. Gorilla in the top right corner. I last wore it when I turned 50, to celebrate being a half century.

It is stunning in these lively colors dear @EtsyBoss! But you have the most beautiful hair! Simoly WOW! 🤩

“Power casual” scarf for a gorgeous day. Bonus power daffodils and power pastries. View attachment 6160349View attachment 6160351View attachment 6160350

I love the scarf. And the daffodils! And the pastries! 😂😍

I'm ending power week with a favourite go-to, a tunic shirt I made in a powerful teal linen. It's what I wear when I don't know what to wear and I want to look nice but, not too dressed up. The perfect scarf for it is my little Manufacture de Boucleries 70, purchased on a layover at the Frankfurt airport.

I love your shirt dear @CoastalCouture! The linen has a wonderful sheen to it! And the color is gorgeous! I love to see the beautiful things you sew! Always happy to meet a fellow sewist! 😍 Your Boucleries is perfect. I think it is very versatile and perhaps I should add it to my collection, if I find one in these colors! 😉

@Katharina Luise, I love your powerful and beautiful blazer and scarf combinations, all the more powerful because you made the blazer. Such wonderful rich fabric!

Thank you dear @CoastalCouture. I ordered the fabric in England. It is a beautiful wool bouclé from Linton Tweeds. You should have a look at their website, if you don’t know them yet. 😉

When I got home from my social outing this afternoon, I needed to change into something warmer and less crumple prone. The pull of Manufacture de Bouclerie was so strong that I left it on and found a complimentary hoodie. I need to remember this one! Even DH thought it was a good match.

Very cool! 👍😍

Couvée is the perfect Easter scarf @Croisette7 🐣. Happy Easter to you too!


Love the blazer @Katharina Luise - you are so talented! It’s the perfect pairing with both the Offrandes and the Zebra Pegasus - such amazing looks 👍👍


I love any reason to wear and share an Animapolis, and this is a fantastic photo. Sunny pico, perfect curls and a gorilla totem - 100% fabulous! 🦍💛

Thank you for sharing the reason for your choice. I think a gorilla patronus suits you wonderfully.


Leopard love, delicious pastries and glowing daffodils - beautiful!

We had similar thoughts today.
View attachment 6160419


The teal linen is beautiful. Super pairing with the Boucleries, too - this 70 is high impact and so fun. the pops of orange are delightful with the teal. A great power look when you want to be refined, but not overly formal.


Thank you! Horses are such lovely creatures.

Thank you dear @Lellabelle 🥰 And those donuts look delicious!

Brazil is gorgeous on you, dear Jereni.
Hope it does the trick and helps in next work meeting! 😍🙌
Thanks for your sweet comments as usual. You make this thread even more fun🤔🤓❤️

Dear Coastal Couture, thanks. I was cracking up at my attire that day. We were going out to the restaurant and the hike was a last min thing!🤔🤣 That’s the only coat I had on me but luckily I always keep a pair of hiking boots in my car!!
Let me know if you live close. We can make a trip to H together.


KL, What a wonderful blazer you made!!
I’m so impressed! This is perfectly paired w your Offrandes!


Croisette,
A plus!!! I love love this look!!

Etsy, you look gorgeous
Twins on Animapolis 😁🙌

Dear Lellabelle, Thanks for sweet comments and an inspiring week.
Yes, I was hiking in that coat by accident. We were going out for dinner and it was a last min change of plans. I always keep my hiking boots in the car because I love to hike. That white coat isn’t Chanel and it was a great second hand store find! 😁I love those!!
Thanks for sharing your perfumes. I have to try Mito, I haven’t heard of it but I love magnolia! Maybe I’ll look for a sample first!
I love Ostara too, and vintage Dior❤️
Here’s few of my favourites that I keep stashed at work.

Very chic dear @ShadowComet! Perfect pairing with your gorgeous bag! 😍

Happy Easter weekend, dear Scarflandia
Zabavushka today as it makes me so happy.

Regarding animal totems, I can’t resist wild cats, be it jaguars, tigers, leopards…., I’m mad for them 😍.
My husband even had a dream of me that kept coming to him 3 times, until he remembered to tell me about it 😂where I was petting a wild cat, I forgot if he said leopard or tiger. I loved that!! He said he was kind of scared but I told him in the dream not to worry!! I didn’t know I was so brave 😂🤣! In his dreams only.

I took it as my animal symbol but also our cat Yogi Tiger looks like a tiger, too, and I adore him to pieces. Some of these I bought because they remind me of how he curls up to sleep. ❤️😍
View attachment 6160466

Here’s a few I couldn’t resist buying, of course, because it’s a tiger or leopard or some kind of a wild cat.
I won’t let myself buy another one because this is quite an Tiger obsession-itis we’re taking about

Katharina Luise, it's the first time I see you're wearing red ... it is stunning on you!
Your blazer is fantastic, as your ZP is ... I regret not bought this cw.

Thank you so much dear @Croisette7! I love wearing red since I have gone grey 😉 It brings a bit more contrast and life to my meanwhile more muted colors. And I hope you find this ZP to add to your gorgeous collection of scarves 😍

 

[Katharina Luise]

Dear Scarfies, wishing a very Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! My family and I are still ensconced on a beautiful island paradise, winding down our vacation so I have not seen all your wonderful posts from Power Week-- looking forward to catching up a bit next week after I head home and before I take off again for Jazz Fest in New Orleans. I am liking and loving what I have seen today! The one silk 90 I brought with me has been perfect for the week and for today-- lots of happy birds (and I see sisters with @FA73 and several others here 🧡 )
View attachment 6160551

This is such a gorgeous and elegant look dear @LKBNOLA! Beautiful pattern mixing! And your hat is chef‘s kiss! Love everything! 😍

 

[CoastalCouture]

Sounds great! We can even go for a little walk on our way there! Doesn’t have to be M Headlands, of course. How do I send you a private message w my phone number???🤔

I sent you a PM. Up under your user name where the notifications are, one of them is an envelope for messages.

 

[CoastalCouture]

As usual, just lovin your Orto! So much texture and depth with those colors.

LOVE this turquoise look! What a striking scarf. I’m not familiar with the design, but this combo is fantastic.

Here is a flat image of Manufacture de Bouclerie from the week of This or That.

The requirement for today's SOTD is that it be a 70 silk for I'm headed to the library to work with a sewing group. Don't want anything long flapping around and getting in the way of scissors and blades. That gives me a choice of two.

This:

Hands down, This is the winner! Manufacture de Bouclerie, purchased at the Frankfurt airport duty free. So many choices on how to tie it!

Very cool! 👍😍

Thank you @Katharina Luise, I know of Linton Tweeds but, have yet to place an order. I have sewn with other bouclés and made several "French Jackets" in the style of Chanel. Lots of fun choosing silk lining, buttons, and trim. I have heard that some sewists are adventurous enough to use Hermes scarves for the lining! Haven't done this myself yet but, it would be fabulous! Maybe just the body of the jacket with yard goods for the sleeves?

Welcome, @xincinsin, and what a delightful introduction for Rainbow Week with your violet scarves.

I'm beginning the week with my violet Offrandes d'un Jour.

 

[Jereni]

I’m not featuring the periwinkle / violet of this scarf but it’s sort of there! Voyage en Étoffe today - the delightful textures in this made me think of Ukrainian psanky eggs so it was my choice for Easter brunch.

 

[HoneyLocks]

The mythical phoenix is known for its ability to regenerate or be reborn from its own ashes, often symbolizing renewal, immortality, and resurrection.

Renewal, resurgence, rejuvenation, revitalization.
Just what we need!

I’ve saved this quote from @bobkat1991 - because I felt it was so amazing.

For our final day exploring power scarves, get ready to unleash your Shirleys, Dallets, Faivres, Linares and Poirets, because today we will embrace Animal totems: animal symbols and connections that enhance our power.

Animal totems - also known as spirit animals or power animals - are deeply rooted in many Indigenous cultures, spiritual traditions, and modern spiritual practices. They are believed to embody traits, messages, and guidance from nature and the animal kingdom. Each animal carries its own energy, lessons, and symbolism. You might feel a strong connection to a specific animal, or perhaps you identify with certain animal qualities or traits. Trust your intuition - your animal totem often reflects your core essence: the strengths you can draw on when needed.

Hermès has long embraced the animal kingdom in its silk designs, and there are many incredible scarf choices featuring animals of every type, shape and size. From animals that feature as the central element, like @Redbirdhermes’s Acinonyx Jubatus, or the big cats of Panthera Pardus, Tyger Tyger and Jaguar Quetzal, the giraffes of Three Graces, or the elephant of Beloved India, to the more subtle animal inclusions such as Annie Faivre’s monkeys or Jan Bajtlik’s dog, Kluska. Whether you love the sloth on Equateur, the red panda on Sichuan, or the pangolin on Wild Singapore, there’s an animal for you out there in the Hermès jungle, wetland, ocean, plain, or mountain.

The magnificent bear of Grrrrr, Yellowstone Forever

Here’s a look at some common animal totems and the qualities they represent (these are courtesy of professor Google, so are shared in the spirit of fun rather than education):

Animal totems and their meanings:
• Wolf – Intuition, freedom, loyalty, leadership
If the wolf is your totem, you’re likely independent, deeply intuitive, and value community - leading while still honouring the pack.
• Owl – Wisdom, insight, mystery, transition
An owl totem suggests you have a deep connection to the unseen and often pick up on truths others miss. You’re a seeker of knowledge.
• Bear – Strength, grounding, introspection
Bear people are strong, protective, and often called to healing or leadership. You’re a force of nature with a deep inner world.
• Deer – Gentleness, grace, compassion
If the deer is your guide, you likely have a tender heart and a calm, nurturing presence. You meet challenges with quiet strength.
• Eagle – Vision, power, spiritual awakening
The eagle symbolizes a strong connection to spirit and a broader perspective. You soar above the chaos and see the big picture.
• Butterfly – Transformation, renewal, beauty
This totem reflects a life of change and rebirth. You evolve constantly and help others embrace transformation.
• Fox – Cleverness, adaptability, quick thinking
Fox people are problem solvers and skilled at navigating tricky situations. You’re witty, strategic, and graceful under pressure.
• Horse – Freedom, endurance, passion
A horse totem suggests a wild spirit and a strong drive. You’re guided by personal freedom and have stamina for long journeys, whether physical or spiritual.
• Raven – Magic, creation, shadow work
Ravens symbolize mystery, magic, and transformation through darkness. If this is your totem, you’re deeply introspective and often a guide for others’ healing.
• Turtle – Patience, resilience, wisdom
The turtle teaches steady progress and grounded wisdom. If this is your animal, you’re probably a calm, ancient soul who knows good things take time.
• Lion – Courage, leadership, pride
The lion totem is associated with bravery and power. You’re a natural leader with a protective spirit and a fierce heart.
• Dragonfly – Change, lightness, self-realization
If this shimmering creature is your totem, you’re deeply sensitive and spiritually aware - always growing, always in motion.

Connecting with your animal totem can be a way to better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and tap into inner strength. Whatever the qualities you want to connect with - whether you need the strength of the bear, the wisdom of the owl, or the patience of the turtle, your spirit animal is a powerfully ally.

Style tip: When styling an animal print scarf, let it be the statement piece. Pair it with neutral tones like black, white, beige or denim to keep the look balanced. A simple white shirt/blouse or black sweater will let your chosen animal be the star!

Which animal are you unable to resist in scarf design, and what does it mean to you?

Thanks for exploring with me this week, and for sharing your personal power scarves. My own animal totem would without doubt be the leopard. MrBelle commented only last week that it features heavily in my scarf choices and is by far the best represented motif in my collection. Their combination of grace and power, beauty and focussed intent speaks to what I aspire to be.

An important acknowledgment of Indigenous wisdom:
This post is shared in a spirit of fun and connection with our community here. It is important for me to include that animal totems hold deep cultural and spiritual significance for many Indigenous peoples around the world. In Native American traditions, for example, totems are more than symbols - they represent a profound connection between the individual, the tribe, the natural world, and the spirit realm. Spirit animals are believed to offer protection, guidance, and ancestral wisdom. These relationships are honoured through stories, ceremonies, and sacred art, forming an integral part of cultural identity and spiritual practice. It’s important to approach animal totems with respect and recognition of their sacred role in Indigenous belief systems, acknowledging that for many, these animals are more than metaphors; they are kin, teachers, and spiritual allies.

Dear @Lellabelle - this post - as every other this week - is so good I want to slap myself for bring off grid this week and not able to participate with inspiration from your thoughtful explorations of power scarves.

I count both lions, sloths and manatees among my spirit animals but admit that a power scarf mostly works with big cats, and not the other ones.
From the archive a bit of roarrrrh.

But to be honest: this is the result from a Harry Potter quiz last year. I feel very seen, but has no scarf to match

Wish you all a superb Sunday.

Thankyou for the week that just passed - looking forward to the rainbow tinted one to come.

What a fabulous collection. Edmond Roudnitska is my favourite perfumer and Parfum de Therese is a masterpiece. I’m sure you know he created it for his wife. She decided to share it with the world, through the house of Malle, after his passing. It’s a true love story in scented form.

And, a bell jar of Tubereuse Criminelle? Oh my!

SO glamorous dear @LKBNOLA and what I lovely treat to see you here - thanks for dropping in while on vacation. Fabulous look!

Thank you so much for your splendid hosting, Lellabelle! Although I did not post a single scarf, I enjoyed reading your posts and seeing all the power scarves. Enjoy the (long) weekend!

Thank you kindly, @Agrume

Thank you, @Lellabelle for a wonderful week of hosting

This week, we have an Easter-appropriate theme.
🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈 🌈

Rainbow Connection: 7 days, 7 colours
or wear your most colourful scarves
Wear ROYGBIV in sequence or go rogue like I intend to! I'm going to do the sequence in reverse just for fun!
You can also extend this week's theme - so many of you chose colourful scarves to make an impression

Violet - my first colour for the week
There are a great many shades of violet, although the flower by that name comes first to my mind when I think of violet.

On the right, my favourite cw of Grande Marine in shades of purple and violet on a navy base.
On the left is the delightful cw of Acte III which uses a lavender purple as an accent colour for the backdrop and clouds.
View attachment 6160568
When I googled violet to make sure my idea of the colour was correct, wikipedia described a vivid shade of violet (electric violet) as the closest that the computer screen could get to that colour. It certainly reminds me of several scarves I have. My first encounter with this colour was quite comical. I opened my scarf mail, took one look at the scarf and closed the box. It was eye-wateringly bright! It took me several months to work up the courage to wear Mosaique au 24. (I'm much braver now )

Three of my phoenixes have purple in the design.
One is a gav. The colours of the main motif are rather sombre but the purple border is a lovely pop of colour.

Soft purple-violet birds and orchids peep out from the foliage in Au Coeur de la Vie. I waited a long time to acquire this as it was always too expensive for my bank to accept.

Tomorrow, I'll show an indigo scarf which was so so enabled by a sister scarfie!

Happy Easter, everyone! 🌈

What a super start to colour week! Just ran outside during a break in the rain to snap a purple pic for you 💜 Will post in a few moments.

A little bit of RED for the R in ROYGBIV and a crossover from last week with another animal totem: Tiger! I'm the Year of the Tiger in Chinese Astrology. People born in the Year of the Tiger are believed to be confident, energetic, and bold, with a determined spirit and a strong work ethic which holds up. I love how horoscopes encourage a healthy bit of confirmation bias!

View attachment 6160585

This Rrrrrrrred is fierce on you @EtsyBoss! The confirmation bias may be real, but I’d say these are qualities you definitely embody!

Thank you dear @Lellabelle 🥰 And those donuts look delicious!
