You always look fabulous!! Just wonder what your name means: MaiTai is Chinese?

Aww, dear Macs, so sweet and kind <3

Great news re the jumping boots, dear Tabitha! No two pairs are the same, my black ones took forever to become friends with my heels, whereas the mocca boots were easy going from day one.

Glad you liked look number one, dear SMR and hope you’ll enjoy the coming ones too!

Ms Pico says merci, my dear Trudye! She is a most lovely bag, and it is so much fun to wear a bit of color sometimes <3

Many thanks, dear Mrs. Exeter. Happy you like the shawl ring look, isn't it wonderful that there is always something new to discover!

Thank you, dear Syma, it’s a Rolex Submariner.

Dear maedi I am so pleased and happy to hear! I love too how it brings out different aspects, so much fun to see parts of a design coming out which are usually hidden x

Merci, chère Lara et bon week-end!

Many thanks, dearest Manuela! I not often go for bold lips, but Ms Pico was an excellent supporting cast ;)

The ELenK in this cw is surprisingly easy, dear SophieG, as there is quite a lot of black ‘at the right places’ :)

So happy to hear, many thanks dear booksnchocolate! Hope you’ll enjoy la prochaine..

Oh dear Julian, and I loved how you wore your beautiful Tourbillon in the same way, absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to include your pic in the next collage, many thanks again!

Hugs, Macs!

So true re Ms Pico, dear msT, she blows a fresh wind into my wardrobe! The lipstick is not new, but I used a darker tone lipliner (Spice by MAC) than usual. I always fill the lips with liner prior to applying lipstick (this one was a medium coral), so a darker shade makes quite a difference (I then added a bit of gloss to further intensify the color)

Will try the the criss-cross knot, dear pussywillow! For a different effect, you could also pleat the scarf into a rectangle, both soft and tight pleats produce most wonderful folds.

Completely Cute Comment! Thank you, dear Reshma :)

Dear Sarah, sorry to hear about the trouble with your ID, but love your new one! I can just see a brighter Pico on you, and you already have the scarf to match ;)

I've had the watch for a long time, dear Laura, and it came out when I dropped my regular one on the floor.. it takes forever to get it repaired, and in the meantime I’ve rediscovered my love for Ms Chunky (the big dial is definitely one of the reasons;)

Many thanks, my dear CS! Hugs right back <3

The Ex-Libris en Kimonos is very attractive on you. (Too busy on me). Also agree with Manuela, the new lipstick looks fabulous on you.

Warm hugs,
CS

2012-01-20T19:10:00.680+01:00

Chic as always! The EL en K scarf is so versatile given how it's folded, and I only wish H had done a colorway that would have worked for me. Like the bigger watch, too. I have my dad's old titanium watch, and it's about that size. Nice to be able to read it without my glasses. ;-)

2012-01-20T19:02:21.778+01:00

Dear Mai Tai

LOVE how your scarf has the same colour accents as your picotin! Beautiful folding, you are making me think I should get another picotin with a brighter colour...

2012-01-20T09:42:22.660+01:00

This also works well with a criss cross knot instead of the slide, using the rectangular fold you've described. I love the way one can utilise the folds to highlight the central or outer portions of a design.

The ExLenK in these colours are divine on you and your outfit in black the perfect foil for its complex patterning. Looking forward to Look No. 2!!

Nice work popping colour onto your black canvas, the Pico, scarf and lipstick (is that a new colour??) all sing out in this great outfit. I knew you'd work some wonders with your bright new Picotin!

2012-01-19T17:11:18.225+01:00

I love this look with the Ex-Libris en Kimonos, especially the colorway you have - works so beautifully with your minimalist outfit. It just adds that touch of elegance - and a glorious punch of color together with that deliciously coloured Picotin!

Beautiful as always, dear MaiTai! I often get a bit overwhelmed by scarves with many colors like EL en K, but your all black outfit is just perfect with it

2012-01-19T01:52:12.516+01:00

Dear MaiTai,
I wore my 90 cm scarf with a shawl ring yesterday, pleated it harmonica style and then pulled it through the ring like you did. I really like how it works with the 90 cm carres.
You look beautiful as always.
Hugs,
maedi
