I have been avoiding this thread trying to resist temptation :sweatdrop: and also having a hard time as it is moving at lighting speed!

But I don't think there have been any Flamingo Party shawls posted yet?

My boutique got 2 in yesterday and 1 came home with me :love: it will make a lovely pairing with a few of my bags

Flamingo Party 140cm cashmere shawl
CW09 blanc/vert/fuchsia


Will post modeling pics soon...

The other colorway I saw I didn't get a chance to look at the number, but the border was a burnt sienna color, middle colors were tones of red and orange... Very "fall" feel to it...

Wow!! Congrats!! The flamingos are beautiful and so prominent, which is perfect! :). I'll def need to see this IRL.. Love the greens in it. :)

here comes Flamingo Party cw05 Potiron/Mauve/Rouge ... pure love for me

Drool!! Gah! Ok, maybe I'll convince myself I don't need another Potiron shawl... But that Potiron and mauve together.

@Carlinha, I totally thought this one would call your name. But then again, you may have these shawl colors already. :)

Hi all,



I wanted to post mod shots of my CW 11 De la Mer. I never wear pastels and the Rose in this CW is making me wonder if I should keep it. I love the crisp white, blue, turquoise and black accents but I don't love the shade of rose. All the other color ways seem to have heavy amounts of orange accents which I'm not sure would suit me so I have a feeling this is the best CW for me. I love this design so much, I'm just not sure I will reach for it as often due to the rose. I wear mostly denim, black and white. Thanks for your thoughts!



I tried to take photos of each of the corners and I usually only wear cowboy style.

You look amazing in it!! True blues. @chestnutty, is this calling your name?? Lol ;). MrsOwen, you look great in it and I think it'll be really easy to pair. But I totally get you... If there's the pink that is just NOT YOU, and it bugs you, you may not want to keep it. I remember the grey LdR shawl had some light beigey yellow in it that bothered me so it wasn't a "had to have". I passed on it. And the light pink in the grey MetM (Monsieur et Madame) shawl, I couldn't do it even though I loved the greys and leopard print. And I know another silkie who had to return MdC bc one color in the multitude of colors, bugged her to bits. Lol ;). Depends on if you can live with it or not. But I do think it looks amazing on you. :)

OK quick modeling pic... I actually walked out of the store yesterday with the shawl on already :p temps had dropped and i was excited to use it!!

and here it is tied haphazardly in a cowboy knot... not the best, i threw it on quickly, but you get the idea :p this shawl reminds me of Ex Libris en Kimonos where each corner is different since it is an asymmetric design, and depending on how you tie it, it will look different each way. i love the fuchsia peeking out and framing my face :love:

Carlina, this is GORGEOUS on you! Thanks so much for the modeling shots. I'm not sure I can resist this color way! I love the dark leaves with the contrasting flowers.

Carlinha...your modeling pics of Flamingo absolutely sleigh me! I swear that you and Israeli_Flava are conspiring to flame my wallet this season. I can practically see the outfits I would wear this with come spring/summer!

If the rose bothers you such that you won't wear it as much, then maybe it's not for you, but it certainly goes with denim, black and white, so it won't clash or cause a problem with what you usually wear. Maybe this will force you to go outside your comfort zone a little? It certainly looks good on you! :yes:

Monceau said:
I agree with the others, the rose adds dimension and softens the design.
It's a beautiful cw and perfect with denim. You look terrific!

MrsOwen3...this is my favorite cw of this design too, and it looks like you've managed to hide the rose accents in some of your photos. I LOVE it against your denim shirt. :heart: If this helps at all, there are quite a few H shawls in my collection that have some colors that don't work on me, but I've loved the design so much and the other colors in the mix, that I've managed to learn how to them to hide the colors I don't love. I hope you keep it, especially since you love the design so much.

I would concur with many others here MrsOwen, the rose is not very prominent and it does add some dimension to the shawl. I also wear primarily black, white and denim, and should I decide to get this CSGM this season, I would pick this colorway. I like that it has the black to offset the pale pink if that makes sense :smile1:

Thank you all, I don't feel the Rose is as prominent now that I'm looking at the pics!

MrsJDS said:
Hi MrsO - I think this looks so fabulous on you and I especially love the colours that appear in shot 3447. Having said this, if you think you are not going to reach for it as much because of the rose accents (and I know what you mean by this as I nixed a de la Mer CSGM yesterday because that it had a colour in it that I didn't care for) then you may wish to return it. Like you, I love, love, love this design a lot but I have not found a CSGM CW that suits me very well. In fact I told my SA yesterday that not surprising, the 90cm de la Mer that I own is the black/white/grey one ...

That's my favorite corner as well, I love the sky and the clouds, I think this would be so great in the Spring with a crisp white shirt. I think I'm going to keep it! Thanks for your thoughts!

It looks good on you, Mrs. O. I wouldn't worry about the rose as it is very minimal in comparison to the rest of the colors. It adds a little bit of softness and dimension to this colorway.

SugarMama said:
I agree with Bostonjetset. I love the soft pink in this shawl, it adds a touch of feminity and compliments the blues. Twinsies with you btw!

Love this De La Mer Au Ciel on you, MrsO. :faint:

The rose adds just a little contrast, enough to make the different hues of blue pop. It's a keeper IMO and looks great with denim.

Thanks all! I'm feeling good about it now after looking at the pics again. I think it's a keeper!

Mrs. Owens, I think that colorway is lovely on you. The pink is subtle and gives just a pop of color that accents the blues. You can wear that shawla lot with your denims.

Congrats, I am under BB spell as well, they tie so well. Could you post some photos of this shawl unfolded please? :smile1:

I will do so tomorrow!!! My pleasure :)


Someone asked me where I managed to purchase my BB CW 10. I purchased it from my local store (I did ask my SA to find it for me a couple of weeks ago).


Thank you to everyone who commented on my scarf.

MrsJDS, the navy BB is amazing on you! I purchased the white a few weeks ago but you are giving me second thoughts! I wish the store would have all colors at once! Is that asking too much, lol?

Carlinha, you look beautiful in this shawl! I love it so much! Thank you for posting such great photos! I've been so disappointed that aPdP doesn't seem to be working for me but this is not a bad substitute at all!!! I'm so surprised because I had saved this image from the website but ruled it out as "too bold" for me, but the dark greens are perfect! I'm so excited to try it now!!! thank you!!:smile1:
