Terrific colorway for Versailles PT! I nearly brought home the orange and mauve, but wanted to see a few other colors first. Yours is definitely an interesting one that I'd love to try on. Great quadridge too! Congrats!Thank heavens these came in because I had a credit note burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't rest until these were under my belt. My choices were slightly predictable for those who know me but to my mind not duplicating anything I have already too strongly
Quad 70 - this was the only cw that worked for me, and I don't think I any scarves mainly in paler blues. I consider it a miracle H released a Q in a format that actually shows the horses when folded before axing the 70s altogether. Now after a Quadridge print wallet and as a lining for a bag, I feel as though I have my Quadridge scarf and can sigh for a job done
To borrow TT's phrase. This is a serious scarf. I put it on and I feel serious. For me, this is the evening version of flanerie de versailles, and if ever I felt there was a 'power scarf' it's this. I spent some very happy holidays visiting versailles and the place holds wonderful memories but I was never there in the evening. For those that need to know the yellow is acid yellow and not gold but somehow it works on a scarf dedicated to the Sun-king's palace. I like 2 other cws but none more than this, so am undecided if I should buy any more. If they ask, tell them I want to be buried wearing this scarf.

All who want mod shots will have a bit of a wait but I will do it. It's LFW and fresher's week and somehow 2 demanding and needy worlds have collided at once - expect 1/2 day off next Weds
Each cw is so different, it brings a different atmosphere to the palace. I was pretty sure of this one bar it looking nothing like on-line (which of course sometimes happens) however it looked pretty close to all the online pics. I like how this design refs Jardin de Versailles in many ways.
The orange/red (19) is very powerful, quite regal too. You'll love it if you want a real orange-red vibe that also works as a neutral. It is bright!.
I'm also interested in the turq/green (and be Croisette's twin) which would be lovely with Vert Bambou but so would cw 18 the white/green/red which is exquisite (could be too white for me though). The surprise love was for the autumnal colours of the darker red/rust/blue of cw 16, some of the details are truly stunning (NB. the pink in that cw (16) is far more mauve and subtle than the on-line pics suggest). Anyone interested in the black, it has quite a similar vibe to the ltd ed of PdV.
Beautiful choices!! I have my eye on this cw of Quadrige also, but there are a few others I'd like to see as well so I'm holding out for now. As for Versailles, I have my eye on the blue/yelllow cw that Croisette has, as well as the red/purple cw, but would like to see more of those as well before finally deciding.Thank heavens these came in because I had a credit note burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't rest until these were under my belt.

Check out HN's posts, this thread http://forum.purseblog.com/threads/the-fall-2016-scarves.939230/page-81 much better than h.com
Thank you! So nice to have it all in one place - thank you HN! I've been able to try on the blue/green and it looks good, but the red/purple looks even better. I tried on cw 18 also, the green/red/white - it's beautiful but did not look so great on me. The one you have is very interesting and I would love to try that one as well. Ah, patience - I'm sure my store will get it in eventually lol!
You came, you shopped, and you definitely conquered! Well done, PT... both of these are standout!!!!!Thank heavens these came in because I had a credit note burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't rest until these were under my belt.

Absolutely stunning cw in the Versailles. I love the bottom photo - the palace looks like it is all lit up and there is a fantastic ball going on inside!!!Thank heavens these came in because I had a credit note burning a hole in my pocket and couldn't rest until these were under my belt.

Frankly, I was not a big fan of the new Maxi Twilly format "Cut"... But I could not resist trying Astrologie Pois, because I love, love, love this design. 
The old twilly is exceptional in its length - for me the new one felt just too short at first as if something is missing... However: When I stopped comparing the new with the old and just let it stand for itself, it is quite lovely and I could not - and not at all! - leave it in the boutique! It is soft and casual and for me is maybe more like a 70x70 than a Maxi Twilly - just from the feel of things...
Just two quick pics taken in the evening in very bad lighting (the vest is actually light blue and not violet) to give you an idea. Hope to take better pics tomorrow.
Astrologie Pois - cw 6 - marine/ciel/petrole (really do not know why some of the pics are soo HUGE and some are not... Sorry. 
)

Oh gosh. I have the same feelings about the new length but this design is stunning. I think I might have to follow your lead and give it a try.

So beautiful on you, dear Sammy! Congratulation!
Thank you for the very enabling photo of your gorgeous Versailles scarf. My boutique has not yet received them but based on H.com alone I can tell that the choices are amazing. I do have a special edition Versailles on its way. I bit worried since I've not seen it IRL. Do you have this one by chance? I have never seen any modeling photos.

Exactly the same thoughts, hoped I'll find my astrology sign on it but that's not sure as it's 'cut'. I have the red purple and grey one on hold for me to see if I like it IR. Congrats for your purchase. I tell myself the old maxi was too long anyway[emoji3]
