Which scarf/pointu/pochette are you wearing today?

[Ladybaga]

Oh Etoile, you look gorgeous. You wear grey/whites and blues so well.
jp 536,I to just bought a GM and silk 90 in the same cw because I love the design so much and you know, if Pierina says yes, it's yes with me too!!
Seton, here is my rendition of your fabulous look yesterday, and with one of my favorite designs. Astrologie!! The sun is the literary eye of God and to think of her gaze and golden arms around me gives me strength!

YAY! Sparklelisab is in da houuuuuuuuse! So glad to see you up and beautiful, again! You look so regal in your Astrology scarf.

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.

YOU are the best mom ever! Your DD looks so chic in this picture! GORGEOUS!

seton - love your two silks and story. You look amazing and fresh in the silvery blues.

I am celebrating Year of the Snake and V-Day this week! Hope to bring out the romantic themed ones.

Today is for our lovely Etoile who asked about pendants and silks. Seton has shown hers off in her post in such an elegant way. Isthme pendant and lucky red CMSC with quince blossoms from my garden.

Lovely lanit, These are YOUR colors! I love your CSMC paired with your horn pendant. Even your lipstick matches! Very pretty, indeed!

 

[Ladybaga]

I was at my boutique today, and hoped I'd be bringing home my first CSGM (Echec au Roi in blanc/argile clair/rose poudre was being held for me). But, unfortunately, it wasn't love at first sight. While I love the pattern, I now realize 'rose poudre' is not a good color for me! I think it was pierina who suggested going with ones first reaction, to avoid misfits. I've found it to be such good advice, so I left it behind.

But, I had fun trying lots of spring items, and new and old favorites in the jewelry department. I'd been wanting to try the Farandole necklace, and had the luxury of trying the 80cm, the 120cm, and the 160cm. It's such a beautiful necklace in person! Luxuriously heavy, and of course beautifully crafted. So, happily the 120cm came home with me!

So perhaps a bit over-accessorized today, 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!

This is breathtakingly gorgeous! etoile, you are like a heavenly cloud. You must remember this entire outfit so that you can wear it again and again and again and again....... I love this on you!

Here's my story for this week's theme. My best friend and I met the day I was moving into the dorm, my freshman year of college. My parents were helping me move stuff from car to room, and as I was making one trip from into the hall, there was this girl! This girl, so bouncy and confident, it seemed to me, with long, silky brown hair and smiling eyes. She said, "Hi! My name's (your new best friend)." That was August of 1982. She's my son's godmother and I'm her daughter's godmother, and I don't know how I'd have made it this far without her.

For our 30th "anniversary" last summer, I gave her an Aux Pays des Epices that I had hunted down. She's not one for labels or expensive goods, but I wanted to treat her and enable her to enjoy something luxurious. She's a wonderful cook, and some of our fun times have been cooking together in her kitchen.

She is an artist. I mentioned to her a few weeks ago that I'd read a review about a show at MOMA by Azin Valy, out of which had come a line of scarves, featuring aerial views of some of the world's great cities. A couple of weeks ago, in the midst of all the boloney going on my world, the Fedex man met me in the driveway early one morning with a delivery. I emailed her quickly "!!!!" after I saw the return address. Then, when I got to the office, I had to go straight into a meeting. Another email: 'Suspense: Rome or Paris....' We had discussed both, my favoring the colors of both city's scarves, as well as both cities. She responded, "I chose the city you've loved longer." That told me the answer: Rome. Herewith, a non-H lovely silk chiffon aerial view of Rome (with the Colosseum front and center, I just noticed)! This is a poor photograph; the scarf is a lovely fuschia, with greys. What a thoughtful gift, from a very thoughtful friend.

Thank you for sharing your heart-warming story on such a dreary day here. It made me think of my childhood friend! VnSoie, your Rome mousse is dreamy.

I need to comment on all the beauties I missed, but here is my actual SOTD (pardon the poor office lighting), which is my contribution to this week's theme.
I bought this scarf last year at the Madison Ave boutique with my best friend - we've always enjoyed shopping together, and even though she doesn't share the H love (yet), she happily goes scarf shopping with me. And I love to bring her along because she is so honest about what looks good on me or doesn't, so I can resist the SA's pressure (and laugh if the scarf really looks terrible on me!)
So there you have it, Point d'Orgue in the weave knot (haven't mastered the friendship knot yet, but still think of my friend when I wear it)

Very nice, sophie! Your scarf looks so good with your jacket! I hope the people that you work with appreciate your beautiful self! I love the story of your friend shopping with you for silks! Nothing like having an honest opinion to either enable or save a few bucks!

I'm off to a dentist appointment, so I will come back later to comment on all of the silk loveliness I have been seeing. I try not to play favorites with my scarves, so I have to say that ALL of them are my favorite. Here is a new favorite of mine: PHOTO FINISH in the green colorway. I bought this at my Hermes store, but it can also be found on H.com US site. (I've added some pics of a green enamel bangle which is a newly purchased treasure along with a pair of Isthme horn/lacquer earrings in green which had to come home with me as well. The last pic is in honor of FAT TUESDAY! (The way I've been eating lately has become "Fat Tuesday" every day.) This scarf, Creole Jazz, came to live with me a few months ago when my dear aunt's friend was pairing down her closet for a move. She knew how much I love Hermes scarves, so this one, along with three others (Concerto, Kachinas, and Fluer et Fauna) are part of my Hermes family. Happy Eating Day to everyone!!!!

Well, happy early birthday, Ladybaga! Congrats on the new acquisitions - Photo Finish is a very cool design, and I'm sure you will rock these earrings with another fabulous scarf

I just love this look, etoile! The neutral classic scarf, the Farandole (congrats), the Muse belt. Swoon.

Thank you, dear! (My DH laughs at the fact that my birthday is sooo far away, yet I have found something to help me ring in my 48th! I guess in April, I can start "working" on Christmas! )

I enjoy stories about those special, seemingly (?) spontaneous friendship that endure time.......as you know, that is a very beautiful and special scarf! Thank you for the pic and the story, best, bonnie
