Theme SOTD: Lucky

So the theme of the day is your "lucky" scarf. I found this little beauty at a vintage shop and thought I'd wear it in honor of my Aunt and Uncle:





They LOVE football! So, on a "Big" game day, I wear this scarf to bring their team "luck". I don't know if it's working too well but, the team isn't at the bottom of the standings...so....sure, it is!!

Theme SOTD: PINK scarf!

This week the tPF Scarfies decided to host a PINK scarf day - for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I have several pink scarves and thought I'd submit them all!


Vintage Mousse - non label from a vintage shop nearby.


The Ambassador's Carriage - Hermes 70 cm (in Maroon)


Hermes Berries Twilly in pink

Theme SOTD: Pochette

A new Friday and a new theme! Today was "Pochettes". I'm wearing my Mosaic "H" in fuschia! I took this one outside and the wind kind of "got" me. Still, I love this scarf! And, of course, the reason I can wear the Pochette at all: It's tied with the Mors scarf ring!

Happy weekend!

Theme SOTD: Scarf Rings

I've been off doing puppet shows and neglected to post anything on the SOTD! So, here is my VERY late addition to the Theme SOTD:

(Note: I'm posting almost completely different scarf pics than the ones I posted on tPF - 'cause I took a LOT of them and they were all goofy! I'd just finished several shows and was pretty wiped out!)

Twilly rings! These were the first scarf rings I ever purchased. I actually like to use them in my hair (with the twilly, of course!).





This is a horn scarf ring! This WAS my "go to" ring for scarves. It made them look "finished" without me having to learn complex knots!





This little silver ring was so charming, I had to have it! I have no idea what it's called, I just like the stitches on the top and bottom:





The Regate was my next PHW piece. This one supplanted the Horn ring as my "go to" for awhile. I love this ring!



Lastly, is the Mors - which I've been wearing a LOT. It's supplanted ALL my previous rings! I can wear it with Twillys, Pochettes, Carres - You name it!



That's my LARGE and LATE addition to SOTD!

THEME SOTD: Scarfing Up Jeans and a White T-shirt

The idea was to see the entire outfit and I just could not shoot this myself. Sorry. Jean, Gap T-shirt, and L' art d' ecrire scarf.

THEME SOTD: Two Scarves

Today's challenge for Friday's Theme Day was to think of a way to wear TWO scarves. I really couldn't figure out what to do. Many of the scarfies were wearing lovely scarf tops but I, gentle readers, do NOT have the physique to rock the scarf top. So, what do do?

I basically wore a Tiffany Ribbon necklace with the Mors scarf ring, and then wrapped the other Twilly around a bangle. Simple and works the theme! I am wearing TWO scarves!

Theme SOTD: First "H" scarf

As a BONUS! (woo-hoo!) I'm also posting my first "Big Girl" scarf from "H":

Rivers of Babel



I was attempting to tie it in the lovely vintage Butterfly knot from MaiTai's blog...



...I did not think it was successful.

ThEME SOTD: First "H" scarf

Les Triplets Pochette. Purchased at my very 1st tPF meeting! Can you believe it?! I really should have snagged this baby in another CW - so that I'd wear this one!

THEME SOTD: Least Favorite Scarf

I've missed a few SOTD posts as I've been out of town and back and out again! This SOTD caught me at home, so I thought I'd post!

Today's theme was "Least Favorite Scarf". I perused the collection (small that it is, it took mere moments) and nothing sprung to mind. I'm really careful about what pattern or color I buy and haven't really had a "what was I thinking?!" moment for scarves. No one really gifts me with scarves so I don't have any unfortunate presents clinging to my closet either. Then, inspiration struck!

I purchased a plisse a while back. It's lovely scarf! Beautiful and in theory, easy to wear. I thought it would be a fun addition to my scarf accessories - something to throw on and go. Alas, it did not turn out that way. Hermes has included lovely plisse knot ideas in it's last few booklets, so I thought I'd try them. My neck is not a swan-like as the model's and none of my knots turned out well enough to wear the scarf out of the house.

Finally, MaiTai (you can click on her picture book in my links section) posted a "how to" video for a brilliant plisse knot. It would be my scarf's final chance -



I think it succeeded very well!

This could become one of my MOST favorite scarves!

theME SOTD: All About Orange!

Les Armes de Paris Gavroche in Orange. Worn on my head to hide my hair!

THEME SOTD: Favorite Knot!

Friday's SOTD was "Favorite Knot" and I took pictures for it! I just had to get ready for a weekend trip and forgot to post them....

Here they are, my two favorite knots:

Simple knot:


I love the casual yet, elegant, look of this knot. It's one of my "go to" knots for scarves. Simple and easy to execute.

My OTHER fav?

Twist knot:


I found this one in my very first scarf knot book from "H". I've never looked back.

Belles Mexique scarf for the model shots!

Theme SOTD: Grail Scarf

My second ever Grail Scarf: Trophese de Venise by Hermes.



As soon as I heard of this silk scarf, it went on my must have list! Look at these details!




The center mosaic reminds me of the marble floors outside of the Ca de Oro.

Here is my horrible picture:



It is bad! My excuse is housework. I forgot about it being Friday "theme" day...until I was browsing The SOTD thread on The Purse Forum. I quickly snapped some pics to post...and ther you have it.

Theme SOTD: Nautical! Knotted!

Theme SOTD: Nautical!

Friday again (how time flies!) and here is my contribution to the SOTD!

Theme SOTD: Non "H"!

So the scarfies on tPF are still running themed Fridays. This last Friday was "Your Favorite Non-H Scarf". I started buying pretty vintage scarves when I joined tPF. I really loved all the "H" designs but, wanted to make sure I would WEAR a scarf before kicking in the moola for "H". So, off I went to the vintage shops to see what goodies I could unearth!

Here are my favorites (so far!) from my 'collection':



Henry VIII - worn tied as a necklace.

Detail:



Here's a sweet vintage find!


Postcards from Italy - Silk

Detail:


Next is an oldie but, a goodie:


Yellow Flowers. Vintage silk scarf. Worn in a loose knot.

This one was purchased on my Honeymoon. I rarely wear it, as it is very special to me:


"Marbled" scarf from Venice. Worn with Mors Scarf ring from H.

Last but, never least:

LV Resort wear, 2008 - Boats. Worn with Mors Scarf Ring.

THEME SOTD: Geometry

The Scarfies on the Purse Blog have a running "Theme Day" on Fridays and as today is Friday, here's my contribution:



This is from one of the vintage shops I frequent. It's a brown checked scarf by Paoli. I'm not positive but, I've read that Paoli was (is?) a Japanese company that specialized in Geometric designs...don't quote me on that tho!

Couverures et Tenues Full Size

Here's a pic of the scarf I wore for the Horse "theme" day full sized.

Scarf Theme Day #2: Horse

This one just this last Friday (Hey, I'm almost caught up!). This was a Horse theme. Didn't have to be "H" but, I luckily had just the one!



Couverures et Tenues by Jacque Eidel 1974. This little beauty is the same age as I am!
