Neutrals

I love neutrals and I love cooking, which is why the 'Aux Pays des Epices' is one of my favorite scarves. Many of the spices pictured on the scarf are staples in my kitchen, others I only use rarely and some are yet to be experimented with. Today wearing my scarf like a necklace, in a full Ascot knot.

H it Up!

  9. Gorgeous! You look so classic.

    (My husband gave me the "Epices" carré last year for a holiday gift in the rust/brown colorway. It's one of my favorites!)

  11. Hello - The colours may be "neutral" but your elegance is in "overdrive". Gorgeous, as always. This is also one of my favorites and I am still on the hunt for one!

  13. Thank you for the hint. I'm having difficulty finding this lovely, rich CW. The US will not ship to my country. Thanks for the encouragement.

  14. Hi suejm, sorry to hear the US is not an option. It is worth it to check the european h online boutiques too, I have seen it from time to time popping up there. You can also try I 'Its-All-Goode', the link is on my blog. Go to 'Practical infos' and then click 'Shopping for vintage H scarves'. She has a beautiful neutral one, not mine exactly, but cream/white/pale blue. She keeps getting new stock, perhaps you could even ask her if she could locate one. Good luck!!

  17. Happy news!!! The SM of my closest store found this gorgeous carre for me and when it arrived I was so thrilled at how even MORE beautiful it is "in person". BTW, this "silky slope" is fast becoming a "silky path"...is that a "silk road" in the distance? LOL
