SOTD: Henry VIII

This one is from a vintage shop. It's a non label scarf with a fantastic pic of Henry VIII. I tend to wear this one knotted as a necklace as the scarf itself is pretty banged up.

Here's the scarf unfolded (and unwrinkled!)

SOTD: Offrandes du Jour (for brunch!)

Today I had time for a lovely brunch with my DH and a good friend. I decided to bust out a scarf to wear. It's been awhile since I've been able to wear any of my pretty pieces of silk!


Tied in an "Ascot" knot w/o scarf ring.

I had no idea I had so much pink in my wardrobe!

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!

Mors scarf ring from "H".

This new Scarf ring has gotten a great deal of buzz on The Purse Blog from all the scarfies. Several members have posted drool-worthy pics of themselves sporting the snaffle-based scarf ring. I FINALLY gave in to the loveliness and picked up one for myself. Here's my 1st attempt to play with it:



I'm rocking the Pocket Square I picked up from NYC at the Metropolitan Museum. It's based on a L.C. Tiffany design.

Playtime With My Scarf

Goofing around with a vintage silk scarf I found at one of the awesome vintage shops in my area (there are THREE! I am so frickin' lucky!). This one isn't an "name" scarf. It's just a pretty piece of silk that I picked up. I like the colors in it.

On this day, I couldn't decide what knot to tie it in, so I messed with it for a bit:



That one was unsuccessful, in my opinion, so I tried a "puffy" knot. Just doubled a knot and puffed it up a bit:



Yeah, I REALLY didn't like that one (my face says it all!). This one was a little better:



Here's the one I settled on:
