Thanks for posting the Sichuans, oh exhausted seton.
I am still voting for the more natural c/w. 2010 looks like the landscape needs fertilizer, or has lethal yellowing...

And how fun and easy for the warmer weather. Of course the shawl is wonderful as well. No doubt it will be an incredibly useful colorway.

Thank you pierina! Wow, a purple Camails GM sounds so beautiful!!! I'm sure it would've looked amazing on you. Purple is such a universal color, don't you think?
Here's a pic of les Cannes in the blue cw that I've posted before. I may have deleted the pic of the mod pic with my black cw. The black was the 1st. I didn't care for the design. But my SA insisted I try it on. And wow! Sold!!
Edit: sorry, horrible bathroom lighting pic
jp_536 - Thanks for posting your Les Cannes! I haven't seen this colorway and the green braided border is an unusual and very pretty accent.
Here's a shot of the purple Camails cashmere GM. It was stunning, just not on me. With your lovely dark hair it would be gorgeous.

No wonder you love this Turandot, frou frou, it is a marvel. And so very flattering on you. La Femme is very striking too, well I guess they are all amazing! Great choices.
A quick follow-up, lanit.
Would love to see how others wear their horn pendants with a 90cm scarf. Calling lanit, pierina, bienchen (we miss you), textilegirl, arabesques, Maedi, and...
Oooh, the Lift pendant is so exciting in color, etoile, and the horn pattern on the back of yours is exquisite. Must check out these new colors. My black pendant got Lifted (sorry, couldn't resist
) by DD, with my permission as I'd gotten other horn necklaces. She swears that she uses it all the time. Here's an action picture, though not with a 90 scarf this time. As I recall, the trick is in adjusting the lengths of the scarf and the pendant so the're not on top of each other. Attachments

Wearing the scarf I bought today, Circuit 24 Faubourg in Grenat/Orange/Violet 90cm
A super scarf, and a super way to tie it. Very nice, LuxBagLVr!
VnSoie, you got your hair cut, no? It looks terrific! And how fun and easy for the warmer weather. Of course the shawl is wondwerful as well. No doubt it will be an incredibly useful colorway.
Thank you! Yes, something had to go, so the hair it was. This has been my go-to 'cut the @#%' haircut before.
Happy Lunar New Year my silk friends! Wish everyone a silky smooth new year!
My contribution to this week is my (again) Turandot scarf! Favorite formal Asian scarf!
I simply adore this scarf as it has many Asian symbols.
The peach flowers: Peach flower is the traditional must-have flower for the Lunar New Year in my hometown. Every single household has it in their house during the first 15 days on the new year. It represents good luck, beauty, and prosperity.
And the flowers in real life:
The 8-shaped jar (a popular object in South Eastern fairy tales, often seen on heavenly places) with a Chinese character (that literally means double-happiness, I believe, often seen at weddings as a symbol of marriage).
Beautiful flowers with the two butterflies wandering around. A pair of butterflies often means a happy romantic relationship. Many Asian stories mention that couples who are in love, when they die they will turn into butterflies so that they can travel together for good.
Lotus: a symbol of purity and Buddhism.
The carp (fish) and the turtle: Long story short, in many Southeast Asian culture, carp fishes symbolize the courage and enduring strong will that eventually will become fruitful and pay off, i.e. people who dare to try will prevail (like the prince in the Turandot opera). In some traditional Asian fairy tales, an ordinary carp fish was believed to be able to pass the very strong and challenging waves to reach the heaven's gate, and subsequently transformed into a dragon.
Turtle: an animal that is believed to live thousands of years, hence symbolizes longevity. Same with peaches (people who eat peaches from heaven's gardens will gain immortality).
Dragon: symbolizes the king/queen and his direct family. Pomegranates symbolize fertility.
Phoenix (at the upper left hand corner of the scarf) represents people born with noble blood.
All in all, my own interpretation of this scarf is that just like the Turandot story, people who dare to overcome challenges will be able to win their love and live happily ever after with their beloved.
Thank you, Chestnutty, not only for the chance to see your beautiful Truandot again, but for the enlightening explanations.
... I'm wearing my Eperon d'Or silk twill, with my Muse belt, and my new Farandole! Any other Downton Abbey fans? I love seeing the younger ladies in the third season wearing their flapper ensembles. The Farandole in this length reminds me of their wonderfully long necklaces.
Thanks for letting me share my bit of silver heaven!
Great outfit! I've never seen Eperon d'Or in this cw--love it! And yes, I am a huge DA fan. You look very elegant...as always.
Sorry to hear the Echec du Roi GM didn't work out for you. That's about the only pattern this season that intrigues me, and I haven't seen a cw yet that's doing anything for me, which is a good thing for a change.
Thank you! Here is a picture of flat plus how it pairs with a CDG long sleeve tee
Oh, this is adorable!! Thanks for sharing!

So graphic and wonderful, congratulations my peko!
it's hard to pick a fave carre but I will go w/ La Comtesse de Segur. It's from 1982 and has not been reissued except as a gavroche in 1996. It's by Philippe Dumas and it's the perfect scarf for an illustrator working for the House of Hermes since it's scenes from the children stories by Sophie, the Comtesse.

I used to do watercolours and I was initially attracted to the watercolour drawings on the scarf.

A pic of the whole scarf from ebay

some of my other cws: the navy, pink, and the chocolate
mash-up of segur and astrologie gavroches
A complete wow, on so many levels, seton. So much detail but the design still feels so light, the pale ethereal colors with each colorway limited but still unique and complete, the sheer number of these scarves that you have! I am bowled over.
Well done!!- Status
