Thank you, scarf1! The green is soooooo stunning on you! You helped me greatly by showing your pictures! I love following your adventures and seeing what beauties you find along the way! Are you still in Milano or somewhere new? Have fun, dear, and keep sharing your amazing finds!

 

[Vitamina H]

Thank you all for making last week so riveting! I was entranced by the new formats ,as yet I have none to share but seeing those maxitwillies made me want to dive into H to try!


Love me a bright , and this Concours d'Etriers shawl is just the ticket for the chilliness of our weather .
Off to Kew Gardens for the day so shall try to post some brights from there later:bulb:

Love your sunny and bright C d' E, Frou Frou[! I haven't added a Maxi Twilly yet either, but the FW designs are probably going to be the ones that finally encourage me to give this format a try! I love so many designs they will offer the MT in. Have a fabulous day at Kew Gardens!

 

[Pudfish]

Gorgeous sparklelisa! I love bright pops of orange in a scarf like that!



I'll get the ball rolling with a crossover. Brazil MT in menthe. That's definitely a pretty saturated and "in your face" kind of green. Very "springy".

Bunnycat you really rock this, you make it look beautiful and effortless! I have the same MT in different colourway but I am a bit wary of it, its length makes me fear food stain and dog hanging onto end misshaps. I need to get a grip and face my fears!!

I love brights!







Two of my brightest:



Graff Hermes and Photo Finish

Oh I love these, Graff is so cool. I love Photo Finish and have regretted selling the one I had in the red green turquoise colourway in misguided moment of guilt..

Here is my one bright scarf (Zebra Pegasus), tied two ways - the first is the Chou-Chou and the second is my wobbly attempt at the ***. (Thanks to arabesque's knot tutorials!)

This looks fab and so impressed you mastered Arabesque's knot tutorials, the e8do I find so hard to do.

Hello lovely scarfies!



I have thoroighly enjoyed seeing your sumptuous silks, and how you have turned them into wearable art I hope it is ok to join in this week's bright theme. The brightest from my collection are both in the MT format - KACHINAS in bouton d'or/mysotis/vert and rose/vert/bleu

Wow, gorgeous colours

Bright Scarf week couldn't have been more perfectly timed - it is a grey, cold and rainy day here. A little Flamingo Party shawl to add some cheer, colour (and warmth)!

Your shawl is sumptuous. Hope your weather cheers up. Here in the UK the newspapers are promising us a heatwave soon - which will probably mean 60F in the sun for about 5 mins...

 

[Pudfish]

Despite pitiful selfie skills (so many trashed photos featuring neck and chin that must belong to someone else, I'm sure of it!) I am determined to try to share something in return of for all the helpful pics I've pored over here.



This is my new-to-me Pavois which I think of as on-theme despite a lack of red/orange/neon, etc. The background is stark white and the whipping flags of turquoise and bright green make me ridiculously happy. Sorry..the pic is GIGANTIC.

Great scarf, great pic, very stylish indeed.

This is very easy! Instead of tying it like you would to make it in to an infinity scarf just tie it so it has "tails". You should still be able to wrap it a couple of times. It does mostly stay put, but you may have to move it around a little now and then. But if you criss cross (twist) the wraps once you have wrapped it, and make the knot sit on top of the crossed wraps instead of under, it tends to rest there better. Hope that made sense.

The slightly more difficult way to tie it is so the knot is adjustable (which I how I usually do them).

This is start of the adjustable knot I use for most things that are going to have a tail:

Put the other end through so it faces the opposite direction of the tail that has the knot in it:

View attachment 3015091


you can tighten from either side of the knot. If you tighten the tail, you get a longer tail, so if you want less tail, tighten the side that runs up in to the scarf length. That's why I do this knot, because I often goof on how much tail I need (and you don't need a lot)

View attachment 3015092

Stick it over you neck and wrap it! Then gently "braid" the wraps a couple of times to twist the wrap and make sure to place the knot and tail up on the topside.

Thank you for your kind comments!

Dear Bunnycat, tried to follow your instructions. Now trapped in my Maxi Twilly. Please alert the emergency services. Handsome firemen of 6ft plus only please.

Holsby, thank you for sharing this photo. I can almost smell the flowers just looking at the screen.



It's gorgeous, Sparklelisab! I am so aware of all the design components on it (feathers! leopard!) after the Julia Abadie week



Bunnycat, this is lovely! Makes me think of mint ice cream...I wish I had some in the freezer right now! Love your Hapi also.

Edit: adding in because I think I missed your tutorial. I must try it with my MT! Thank you so much for detailed instructions.



Joannadyne, gorgeous! Love the green and the pink together. Bright and fresh.



What a great twin photo, Scholastican. Both MTs are lovely.



Oh Canuck, where are you located? The mere thought of cashmere makes me uncomfortable right now, I wish I were somewhere cooler. It's a beautiful shawl, however, and the combination of the pinks with khaki (or is it green?) is very becoming.



JRTGal, this is a beautiful scarf. Wear it in good health.

I have already shown this Amours mousseline, but I mostly wanted to show it together with my DVF Hoya dress in Palace Tiger Red (doesn't the name remind you guys of Tigre Royal?) to double up on the brightness. I may have mentioned I like red (no worries, the rest of the outfit and makeup was very subdued).

As usual, featuring my giant sportswatch because I am basically wearing the thing 24/7 now because of all the training. At least it's red and matches the outfit!

View attachment 3015101

I adore this outfit, the dress is so fabulous and the scarf blends with it like a dream. I need a sportswatch too as basically I am a tremendous athlete: yesterday I sprinted from the sofa to the biscuit cupboard, it was poetry in motion..

Not a bright at all... But a 70 for last week's theme. . H commes H blanc/noir/Gris Bleute. I'm a sucker for Gris Bleute.

Good grief, again with the total chic ness and cool! That skirt does remind me of Voyage de Pytheas too.

Decided to wear the brins d'or on an otherwise boring basic black outfit today

Your Brins d'Or is wonderful.

Thank you all for making last week so riveting! I was entranced by the new formats ,as yet I have none to share but seeing those maxitwillies made me want to dive into H to try!





Love me a bright , and this Concours d'Etriers shawl is just the ticket for the chilliness of our weather .

Off to Kew Gardens for the day so shall try to post some brights from there later:bulb:

Wow, cool look for Kew Gardens!

Ok, what I am actually wearing today. Need to practice hotel selfies....

Charmante Animaux moussie and my new white clic-

Vitamina I also tried on the blue/ purple one, but thought it was too similar to my rose compass.



I just have one 140, and it is the pink moussie, so can't really answer your question n pros/cons of stole vs. 140. I do find the stole easy to just throw on. here are 2 ways to wear it.

Lovely moussie and I noticed the white Clic, very elegant.


May I just say, what a total outbreak of goregousness there is on this thread, what is happening here? And may I have some?😜

 

[Pudfish]

Dear Scarfies, a contribution to Brights week: my Jonques et Sampans (Françoise de la Perrière ). I find the turquoise quite bright and I find this scarf quite hard to match with clothes. Note to self: may have made tactical error, should have used this scarf for upcoming ships, boats, sailing theme week???

 

[momasaurus]

Fabulous brights everyone! It is rainy and cold here, but I’m on my way to a hot climate for a week.
Sparkle (another great CW of this scarf I am now obsessed with),
Bunnycat (and awesome striped shirt),
Joannadyne (two wonderful knots),

AnnaE (you really rock the red),
WillStarveForLV (I love pink and black together),
FrouFrou (that is an amazing yellow),

Awesome look jp_536, and that skirt!!! Wowza!

If you guys think that my dress and scarf match -- check out these silk gloves (last year's issue) with the same scarf! Different designs and different issue years, but they go really well together in an outfit!

Love your outfit AnnaE, and the gloves are wonderful!

Excellent choice WillstarveforLV, my favorite CW of this design

Good Morning Silkies,

Welcome to a new week and forgive my absence the last week. I can see I have missed 20 pages of Delight!!

This week, we celebrate BRIGHT scarves. Some of us Neutral lovers might find it difficult to partake, but remember, all H silk is welcome!!

Even though I have many rich, saturated silks, I do not find most of them "bright." But this one, to me, is my brightest scarf!! Casques et Pluetts with fire orange!!

I love this CW of this design sparklelisab, all of these Casques et Plumets in the past weeks are driving me crazy searching the resale market!

This turquoise is fantastic on you pudfish!

 

[Pirula]

Thanks Pirula. I'll keep trying! Haha

I had an absolutely fabulous time in DC.

I'm so glad pocketbook pup. The weather wasn't as miserable as they predicted, although it was awfully hot/humid. Sorry I couldn't meet up this time. Did you go back to Hermes? Hmmmmmm????

 

[Pirula]

Thank you jp_536, frou frou, scarf 1, and pudfish for sharing your absolutely beautiful scarves. So many colors and formats and knots!

I am learning so much from all of you. I think my favorite thing is hearing about a new design, looking it up, and finding a new love. Such a variety of styles and colors, I am truly mesmerized.
