Dear Jahna,Thanks Anfang; it is still up there. What a beauty but ouch! Not sure my after-tax budget can afford it. My 70cms might be in danger, though, of "transformation".![]()
I'm with you Anfang, I wouldn't consider that scarf just from the pics but it looks fabulous on you! Is it four scarves stitched together (doesn't look like it is) or single silk with four printed designs?I got it at FSH, in December 2013, my dear. I was not at all on it, but both Nico and arlv had ordered it and returned, and I was curious to have a look IRL. I told my SA this one could not work for me because of Balles de Golf but she insisted I had to try it on, and I was sold in one second. It is still available now. I did not browse US H.com, but you may find it on France H.com in "Carrés Exceptionnels". I love it to death!
Me too - muted is not my style, I like bold colours. I do wonder though if i might get more use from understated rather than statement scarves?Dear Jahna,
We are on the same wavelength here. I am rummaging thru' my 70s for possible candidates. However, I may not ge able to achieve the quiet elegance of Anfang's, loving loud & bright scarves as I do!![]()
Now a few creatures that might object to being called critters: Phoenix from Mythiques Phoenix, dinosaurs, unicorn and Mayan Jaguar from Laboratoire du Temps
In addition, of course I won't miss out this Animal theme week! Here are my contributions:
Tigre Royal shawl. One of the only two shawls in naturel color in my collection. Naturel unfortunately doesn't complement my complexion well, but when mixed with blue, I may be able to work it out somehow. Sisters with Lisa! The palm leaves that I dislike, however is quite elegant in this fluid format, I think.
OK King of Jungle wants to stare at ya'll:
Finally I gave in to the Mythiques Phoenix as well.
and from my archive, its mini cousin pochette
I also posted more modeling pics off this gorgeous pochette here:

Oh my, I don't want to leave "Critter" week... but... tomorrow is the beginning of the LAST week of this year:
30 March The Staples: Scarves that you wear the most often/workhorse scarves
Now folks, I will be the first to admit that I live in my favorite T-shirts (partly because we are re-doing my closet and I can't find ANYTHING!) and I am also lazy. However if these horses can do it:
"Cuivreres" (thanks for the photo HSCI- I have it but too rainy to photograph today)
![]()
I am going to try to wear some this week. I would mos def wear "Cheval Surprise"
![]()
or one of my very favorite scarves, "Les Toits de Paris" (off to make popcorn, more tomorrow)
![]()
and watch "Foyle's War". Maybe the light will be better for photos tomorrow...
I don't understand why I wear these two scarves the most. Maybe it's because I like dark-coloured clothes & these two go well with them!
This Patch is made of 4 70 sewn together to make a 140 square, Jahna. Reposting these archive pics for you :
Salut Scarfies!
This week I took the Tiger out for a walk...
Finally - the blips of the computer were a bit nutty this morning. I think it is the flickering power lines. Here we go - finally my Licorne shawl came in yesterday. The Dresden blue look of this shawl sings so well to my love of white and denim. So glad I waited for this design to come out in a 140 GM. It was a tough choice between the Leila and this one, but the unicorns won out. Here with AF's signature critter too.
AnFang - I can always count on your being my silk cheerleader; hopefully you will have seen all the colorways of the Licorne shawl! I am guessing a ton more must be on their way to the US soon as the season is rapidly flying by.

Thanks ms piggyWow, this is just absolutely amazing on you, can't tear my eyes away!
This is so pretty worn as a belt.
And here is my most worn these time, Patch! Sorry to spam this thread with this one, but as a "most worn", the box was on the top of the pile. That says all!![]()
Critters, Take II
Im joining the "Au Cour de la Vie" club in this thread ...
In the " Spring 2014..." Thread I had already posted CW 17...
This is CW 15 (with "mastix" as a ground color, a very light warm gray... The colors composition (and juxtaposition) from this particular CW, is so incredible. It achieves so much plasticity and depth... I am speechless each time I see it...
It is, indeed, Jahna. And I agree, my SA pushed me over the edge with this one, and just after this, with this indigo Eperon d'Or which was even more pricey, go figure... This is why I'm so very banned now, without any regets, thoughThanks Anfang; it is still up there. What a beauty but ouch! Not sure my after-tax budget can afford it. My 70cms might be in danger, though, of "transformation".![]()
D Lee, I used to LOVE bright scarves when younger. Now I'm old, and bright colors don't suit my old lface anymore... Times are changing...Dear Jahna,

This is four scarves stitched together, my dear paula24jen. I still say aaaaargh saying the pricetag, but, gah, I did it!I'm with you Anfang, I wouldn't consider that scarf just from the pics but it looks fabulous on you! Is it four scarves stitched together (doesn't look like it is) or single silk with four printed designs?
You look wonderful with this Tiger, Pegase, and I'm not surprised about this. But if i may, I prefer you without any beard!Salut Scarfies!
This week I took the Tiger out for a walk...![]()
This one is truly a beauty, Pegase! I totally agree, if I had one to pick, this would be this one. But I wear my scarves, and with my white hair, I'm totally faded with it. So I had to pass, sigh...Critters, Take II

It's all about the scarf, ms piggy! It's the scarf, which has this je ne sais quoi, I must admit it!Beautiful scarves esp love the MP, both the recent colourways are stunning!
Well done on the LE Leila, gotta grab them whilst they are still avail. Twins on the MP and cousin on the Tigre.
Cheval Surprise and Les Toits are my favs, hope they get reissued one day.
You rock them colours like no one, fab!
You wear it with such je ne sais quoi!
Love it! And Couer 90 in cw15 is a fav.
lanit, thank you for this camellia flower! All my camellia trees have been ruined by the last storms, especially my white Cornish Snow I used to adore... I totally join you on men's silks, and Collection Equestre from men's dept especially is a killer! Great choice, once again, from your best cheerleader!Super special silk Anfang - it is no wonder you fell head over heels for it! It looks marvelous on you!
Pegase - I too fell for this one - it came in after my yellow and turquoise one. I think I have fallen in love again with it. But are 3 ACdlV too many?Must have a neutral and a bright, don't you think? The Tigre looks amazing on you and I can see it must be a workhorse (cat) for you.
This morning camellias in the garden caught my eye, and I do wear this stole every morning while taking the pup out for his morning run. Collection Equestre was the first H cashmere stole and men's silk that I purchased. I think I share ogling the men's silks as much as Anfang and Pegase.Happy Spring and almost April Fool's Day.
Mors et Gourmettes is a stunner, ms piggy. In jacquard twill b/w, it was my grandmother's all time fav. Being now old, I think she was right. I didn't even know this one was issued in jersey, I could grab it in a heartbeat if even this one crosses my road! Congrats!Not on theme but one of the rare occasions I get to wear silks. Jersey 90 Mors et Gromettes with Brazil enamel scarf ring.
Those camellias are BEAUTIFUL!Super special silk Anfang - it is no wonder you fell head over heels for it! It looks marvelous on you!

Both are superb, D Lee, I can understand why they're your most worn!
D Lee, You are a brave and beautiful soul to wear such brightness! Lovely on you.
Thx ladies! U've been most kind!You rock them colours like no one, fab!
Oh Anfang, my theory is that the older I get, the brighter the colors I like!D Lee, I used to LOVE bright scarves when younger. Now I'm old, and bright colors don't suit my old lface anymore... Times are changing...![]()
