Hello, my second Grands Fonds today, I think it has some sparkles of Yves Klein blue. But even if not, it is my most loved Annie Faivre design.

Beautiful look @AnnaE!!! Your scarf reminds me of the moody greens of a beautiful mountain pond-- mysterious and slightly murky from tree-filtered light. And thank you for the welcome back! The Thalassa embroidered cotton is thanks to @sdsurfchick through It's All Goode-- definitely a lucky find!

A beautiful design and a lovely colorway @darkstar66-- I can see why this is a favorite!

I woke up with a terrible migraine but went to Concord anyway for some civic engagement. It was very beautiful and this scarf provided just the right amount of warmth.

Beautiful shawl and matching magnolias, Tea!

Just beautiful! These are so your colors.



Oh my word!!! These are radiant! Twins on Acté III.



Hahaha that’s awesome! I went to take the quiz but I don’t feel like making yet another login. I think it would be cool to have the chow chow as a Patronus!



Luminous is certainly right!!! Wow. Vivid blue looks so epic with blond hair, love it on you!



Sorry to hear about the soreness! Hope it is better soon. Love both looks… orange and blue is one of my favorite combos.



Sooo envious of this scarf! Soon….

Thank you, Jereni!

Thank you all for your nice comments on my Easter post! It is nice to be home after a lovely unplugged holiday. Y'all are very nice to admire my hat, which is new and I am in love with it so thank you for indulging me. The best feature is that I can pull my hair through a velcro strap in the back and lie flat against a lounge chair to read!!! And while I was on vacation, my bag was more regularly scarfed than I was! Can a hat can be a power accessory even on a beach?

I love the way you have tied this and paired with your crochet sweater @GloWW0rM!



A gorgeous Parade of Purples @Croisette7!!! I cannot pick a favorite. They are all so special. The Ballet Aquatique in this cw is adorable!

So very beautiful @FA73. I am going to "put myself to school" on your ties/stylings for this one! Love the pop of unexpected red!

A truly amazing find @Redbirdhermes! It looks beautiful on purple...

Wow! Congratulations on your Indigo Foncé Three Graces @xincinsin -- I love your Charmes de Plages Normandes so much (and I even recently acquired a lovely one myself!). Twins on Lumiere-- the most beautiful blues! And thanks to the wonderful community here I am also your recent Wild Singapore twin. Your necklace is stunning (along with your scarves)...

Wow. I hope there was no Fife and Drum involved in this reenactment given your migraine @Teaforparrots! Good for you to go anyway and wrapped in a perfect shawl for the day, too...

I just love this on you @Jereni! The brights look lovely against you pale blue top and your lipstick is perfect!

We are twins on the Brandebourg and I am simpatica with the jet lag/post trip situation @CoastalCouture. I have a similar cardigan and am thinking I would like to try this pairing too... if you find out the secret to outdoor mod shots please share. As far as I know it involves something called "portrait mode" and just the right amount of shade. Mine are always overeposed!

An "Owl Prowl" sounds like a wonderful trip to take @shrpthorn! I collect owl figures and other things as I adopted owls, dolphins and doves as spirit animals/daemon familiars long ago when I was but a girl, as they say...pre-Harry Potter for sure! Beautiful cws of both those designs and how fun to find a lobster on a scarf!

So beautiful with the new scarf ring @Lellabelle and I have been meaning to ask if it is your photo lighting or is your hair now lighter than before? Not that it matters as it is gorgeous!

Well, I am glad you wore something warm and fun @EtsyBoss! It is so important to get that double dose vaccine but I found it to be a miserable post-injection experience. Maybe I should have gotten to work right away as you did! Love your Quatre Saisons in the pretty necklace knot.

Beautiful @Cookiefiend! I think you have a lot of bases covered here!

Thank you, LKB!

I remember loving the lilacs of Grand Apparat. There was also a pink/apple green/purple one. You look beautiful in all.

Many thanks, Maedi!

Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. The tie is inspired by one of the posts a few weeks back with the chaine d’encre so thank you for the idea.

So classy for the seaside, LKB!

 

[Redbirdhermes]

In checking the history of naming the colors of the rainbow I discovered at one point there were only five colors. Red, yellow, green, blue, and violet. Sir Isaac Newton added orange and indigo to make it seven like the musical scale. Seven colors also work well with the seven days of the week.

Next to indigo is blue, and I'm going with my avatar design Les Artisans d'Hermes as my scarf of the day.

Thank you, dear Croisette 7, I know you are my twin. And yes, a little bit every day, thank you again.

Congratulations on your achievements, and the story of dressing back in the 80s. You sent me on a hunt to find a photo of me in my wool gabradine Brooks Brothers suits with the little silk ties. None to be found as apparently taking a photo on my way to work didn’t happen. I did find a photo of me and my daughter taken exactly 35 years ago on Easter Sunday, 1990. Suit is a spring color, and the silk scarf a pale pink which was undoubtedly chosen for the occasion. Simply switch the scarf to get a power look. I loved being a working mom.

As for shoulder pads, here is a photo taken the previous summer when I was still on maternity leave. I'm wearing a sweater with shoulder pads, and the oversize glasses that were the height of fashion. My sterling silver pendant was made by an artist based on symbols from the Pacific Northwest. I wore it every day for years, and it is about my only connection to my Tsitsika scarf. I adore that art so much.

View attachment 6158041

My Tsitsika. Love this design.

View attachment 6158057

I'm still catching up from last week and wanted to circle back to some of these posts from Power Scarf week hosted by @Lellabelle. @Redbirdhermes I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing these photos of you and your daughter! Yes you have the look here, the Brooks Brothers gabardine suit (I had a few of those too) and the floppy silk tie softened for the Easter holiday, and the GLASSES! What a great story too about your pendant based on PNW Native American art and symbolism that you wore everyday back, and how it ties to your precious Tsitsika scarf. What a wonderful colorway of Tsitsika! If you get a chance I would love to see a close-up of the pendant. ♥️

Thank you and I can’t get enough of your adventures and experiences. I first visited Vancouver, V Island, Nanaimo, Tofino with a friend in 1989. It wasn’t easy getting to these remote areas as we relied on public transportation and hitchhiking. I live in the PNW and am in awe of that region, so spiritual in so many aspects (Cape Flattery), such rich history, art (Emily Carr)and culture.

Wow @Maedi! It is hard enough getting to Nanaimo and especially Tofino, as it is, but doing it on public transportation and by hitchhiking? There is a good story there, for sure. Emily Carr and Imogen Cunningham are two artists who hail from this part of the world and left powerful legacies. https://www.carrhouse.org/the-life-of-emily-carr

What a fun analysis of styles and style rationale then and now. You look smashing in both pictures.

Thank you, Dear @Maedi

Welcome to day two of our explorations of power scarves. Today’s sub theme is one we often use as a power tool: Colour: a signifier of intent.
A note that we have an upcoming theme on colour, so I’ll try to keep this focussed on colour as it relates to power!

Colour is a powerful tool in our wardrobe. As many of our scarfies have shown, a good understanding of the colours that work well for us can do wonders to transform an outfit from functional to flattering. The right colour can enhance our natural beauty, while the wrong one can wash us out or make us look ill (I’m talking about you, citrus colours!) While it’s true that power scarves often make use of strong colours, we can enhance this influence by selecting colours that align with the mood, tone or perception we want to invoke. A strongly coloured scarf is an easy way to signal intent, and set a mood, before we say a word. Similarly, choosing a colour based on how we want to feel can be a psychological boost. In either case, selecting a brightly coloured scarf is a power move and captures attention!

Here’s a quick cheat sheet for when you want to amplify your power with colour:

Red scarves exude power and passion. Red is the colour of fearless energy. It’s the colour most often chosen by sports teams, due to its association with winning. It’s a perfect choice when you want to feel powerful and make a strong impression.

Orange is often associated with creativity, or boldness. As @Redbirdhermes noted yesterday, wearing orange will certainly get you noticed - it’s a vibrant, hard to ignore colour that demands attention. Wear orange when you want to stand out, express yourself, promote an idea, or be heard.

Yellow scarves radiate joy and celebration. It’s an colour often associated with new beginnings and awakening. A yellow power scarf tells the world you’re optimistic, open, and unafraid to shine.

Blue scarves bring calm authority. A deep blue, navy or indigo scarf can ground your look and communicate quiet strength, while lighter blues offer a sense of openness and peace. Blues can evoke the impassive strength of oceans, or the tranquility of a clear summer sky, as demonstrated so nicely by @darkstar66 earlier! It is ideal for moments when you need both clarity and control.

Green scarves embody balance and growth. Nature is rich with greens of all shades and tones. Wearing green speaks to our connection with nature, to our literal and figurative roots, and to the essence of life itself. A green power scarf suggests resilience and connection to nature, perfect for moments of transition or self-renewal.

Pink is linked with compassion and affection, embracing qualities traditionally associated with femininity, though it’s evolved to be a symbol of modern empowerment. A pink power scarf says you’re in touch with your emotions and unafraid to lead with your heart, ideal for when you want to express kindness, warmth, and strength all at once.

Purple scarves indicate royalty or prestige. Once the domain of royalty due to the difficulty of producing purple dye, purple is the colour most associated with female empowerment, from the suffragettes to the chosen colour for international women’s day. Wearing purple is a way to show that you know your worth.

Style tip: Keep a small collection of scarves in ‘power colours’ that match different moods or circumstances: interviews, creative meetings, or days when you need a boost.

What colour do you go to when you need to amplify your power?

My own wardrobe leans heavily into dark neutrals, so I regularly use brightly coloured scarves to lift my look. A colour I’ve struggled with is orange, but it’s undeniable energy along with the encouragement (and enabling) of our wonderful scarf community has softened me to it. I now have quite a bit of orange in my accessories and use it when the day really calls for a punch!

P.S. I have @Maedi and I think @Cookiefiend to thank for the shoe enablement 🤣 (sorry if I missed anyone!)

What a fun post @Lellabelle! I another one with the same orange sneakers!

Day three of our explorations into power scarves, and today I will take a softer path. Strength is not always loud. Sometimes, the strength we remember, and which has the most profound and lasting impact, is the quiet strength of people who persevere. It takes strength to continue on a hard path, one step at a time. Sub theme for today is one I think we can all relate to, though we may not always think to relate it to our scarves: Strong women and the people who inspire us.

@Jacq1 already gave us a wonderful example of a power scarf, with La Femme aux Semelles du Vent (“the woman with soles of the wind”), a beautiful tribute to the incomparable Alexandra David-Néel. A trailblazing French explorer, spiritualist, and writer, Alexandra David-Nèel’s fearless spirit set her apart as one of the most remarkable women of her time. Born in 1868, she defied societal expectations by venturing alone into the most remote regions of Asia, mastering Tibetan language and culture, and becoming the first Western woman to enter the forbidden city of Lhasa in 1924, disguised as a pilgrim. What made her unique was not just her daring travels, but her deep intellectual and spiritual curiosity and dedication; immersing herself in Buddhist philosophy, living as a hermit in a Himalayan cave, and earning the respect of lamas and mystics alike. Strong-willed, independent, and undeterred by danger or convention, David-Néel embodied a rare blend of courage, resilience, and insight that continues to inspire adventurers and knowledge seekers to this day. Wearing her story on silk is both a tribute and an inspiration to take some bold steps of our own.

(I almost bought this same CW at a great price a couple of years ago, but was on holiday and decided it could wait. What was I thinking?!)

Many of Alexandra David-Néel’s qualities - her adventurous nature and fierce intellect - resonate with the spirit of exploration celebrated in the world of Hermès scarf designs. A pioneer and an outsider in luxury, being one of the last independent major brands still in private family ownership, Hermès has long paid tribute to legendary explorers and pioneers through silk designs, transforming their stories into precious works of art. Designs have featured the likes of Marco Polo, whose travels along the Silk Road opened the East to Europe, and Ernest Shackleton, whose ill-fated expedition to the Arctic ended in tragedy. Other explorers feature prominently, directly or indirectly, such as Christopher Columbus (historical accuracies aside!), the Baudin expedition in Geographie, Paul-Èmile Victor in Expéditions Polaires Françaises, or the the voyages of Pytheas, or Pierre Loti. These scarves serve as visual homages to the curiosity and courage that unite explorers of land, sea, and spirit. The travels of French explorer Jean-François de Galaup, Count de Lapérouse are depicted in Per Astra ad Astra, whose name translates to "To the Stars Through Difficulty" or "Through the Stars to the Stars," a Latin phrase that emphasizes overcoming challenges to achieve goals, making it especially on theme as a power scarf.

However, we don’t need to look to history for sources of inspiration and empowerment. Some of the most inspiring women I know are those who are unlikely to be featured in a silk design, but whom I can honour nonetheless. @Redbirdhermes shared a beautiful picture of motherhood with her infant daughter; motherhood is one of the most enduring examples of quiet strength and resilience. Our mothers inspire us, teach us strength and provide comfort when we need it. Many of us have scarves we turn to when we want to remember, honour or support our mothers, sisters, relatives and friends. Wearing these scarves is powerful, as it connects us and allows us to share that spirit; to celebrate and embody that strength. My scarf for today is a power scarf with a crossover for power colour: worn today to honour a friend battling breast cancer.

Style tip: add a piece of jewellery, pin, brooch or accessory that you’ve picked up on your travels. Linking your own adventure to the look!

What scarves do you turn to when you want to channel an intrepid spirit, stimulate curiosity and resilience, or feel brave?

What a masterful post, @Lellabelle!!! I am sisters on the Semelles and love her story that you laid out so beautifully. I am twins on the Pytheas you showed from Carre de Paris. In fact I bought my scarf from her so it that may well be the image of my vey scarf! You wear that bright pink like a boss. ♥️

Here too, even though the weather here is dismal. Bugs are very resilient too!

I found a couple of pictures like yours showing the large glasses and shoulder pads - I think in this first picture both my cardi and the blouse underneath had shoulder pads - I coulda been a linebacker!

@cookie, Cookie, Cookie! As with the photos @Redbirdhermes posted, I LOOOOOVE these of you and your son! Plus the double shoulder pads are - well - PLUS! 🤣 Thank you for finding these and joining in with the style of those times. When I look at these, it all seems so familiar that I feel like I personally knew you and RBH back then. 😎

This morning I chose RED - the ultimate power color. It's a biological indicator of health, fertility, and virility. It's associated with blood, and guts, and glory. It can be scary. Intimidating.

I was drawn to it today probably because I have been watching the Handmaid's Tale series on Hulu. The handmaids wear red from neck to ankle, probably to symbolize their fertility. They are forced to be resilient to survive. It dawned on me this morning, if Gilead didn't want the handmaids to rebel ultimately, why did they make them wear red? Pink would have sufficed. Hahaha. I'm glad Margaret Atwood gave them red. There's hope there.

So today I pulled out one of my very first CSGMs - Patchwork Horse - which has a really wonderful overall red vibe. I started the day at 4:45am with some long-wished for quiet time to do some journaling, followed by shawl repair, some work, then a hair cut. I took myself out for a lunch alone (highly recommend that on occassion!) wolfed down some very healthy protein and fruit, then had a massage.

While waiting I was able to finish a chapter in another very good read by Margaret Atwood - The Penelopiad.
I find strength in hearing about the stories of women who have persevered. Ofred / June and Penelope are heroes.

View attachment 6158896

The red of the Handmaids Tale is so creepy - and so is the book. I read the book when it first came out and can't bear to watch the series. I tried, but it was too intense and disturbing, but Margaret Atwood is a powerful writer and visionary. Your red Patchwork looks divine on you!

Singing the blues in my heart today due to stress stress stress...
A quiet song of soothing calm because it is the eve of the local elections and my team will be in total mode till May 3rd when we go to the polls

We've plumbed the depths of indigo, drifted up through the jewel tones of Klein blue, and are now in the more familiar territory of navy shading to baby.

Two blue scarves, same design. Les Toits de Paris. The sought-after dark blue cw and a lighter blue which, after much thought, might be the scarf with a blue that is closest to cyan. My Paris rooftops by night and by day (H justifications for buying two )


We associate blue with many things. The sky...
Hermes Parade

The sea...
Compagnons de Mer

Rivers and streams...
La Treve de l'eau

Little boys...
Les Jouets Mobiles

Even blueblooded royalty...
Tatersale, issued for the late Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday.

Most of all though, I like the association of blue with positivity and peace.
Whatever we may think of the state of the world now, back in 1952, when H issued scarf design ONU to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the founding of the UN, the world was still hopeful to achieve international peace and cooperation.

And on that positive note, I shall conclude my ode to blue with the serene blue-grey of Les Perruches.


See you tomorrow for the next colour in the rainbow 💙

This one ticks the violet, indigo, and blue cases!

For today I'm sharing yellow for the Y in ROYGBIV. Yellow with blue is a classic pairing. I believe this is my one and only yellow scarf!
