ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteThanks for another inspiring post. I find yellow/lemon so hard to integrate. My first Hermes scarf purchase was Amazonia in the yellow colour way - its beautiful but I hardly ever wear except with a white shirt because I find it so hard to match with other items in my wardrobe. Susan, London
ReplyDeleteWith summer to come, yellow is such a happy splash of color...teaming it with black works as easily as with white/ecru, and light grey is another wonderful combination for summer. You could also experiment with other neutrals, such as dark blue, charcoal, beige or teal. Hope you'll find many more ways to wear your special first scarf!
Deleteluff your neutral loo and can I just say I love my travel pochette whatsy too? Used it on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear, hope you had a fun trip! xx
DeleteInteresting article on Hermes "Petit h" line in today's Wall Street Journal:

Love Petit H, thank you for sharing the article!
DeleteHi MaiTai, I love these colours, especially the Deep mustard colour! I have a skirt of that colour, but only tend to wear it in the winter? Can you suggest a colour that could summer it up please? Oh and that mandarin duck is the most beautiful thing. Gorgeous pictures. Love susan.
ReplyDeleteHello susan, your skirt sounds lovely, I love mustard too. In summer you could team it with shirts, t-shirts or light cardigans in white, ecru, light grey or black. Or add color, and combine with teal, rust or aubergine. Have fun!
DeleteHi, maitai, thanks for the tips, sorry I had a mental block when it came to mixing colours? Lovely suggestions, will try some. Love susan x
DeleteAs my attention is firmly fixed on horse racing at the moment (Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont), I love "Photo Finish" and its beautiful colors--it offers to many opportunities! As I continue my mission to claim my first Hermes scarf, my only problem is deciding between all the lovely choices! PS--Your criss-cross bow knot looks so much better than mine! I'll have to practice.

Deleteyou are truly the best inspiration ever - it's as simple as that!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd you are truly sweet and kind, my dear Macs xx
DeleteHaving a couple of yellow Hermès scarves, I am particularly happy to see how great yellow looks with écru.Thank you for the inspiration, my dearest Mai Tai. <3
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the duck. So beautiful!
Wishing you blue skies and sunny weather for the weekend, M xx
Aren't yellow scarves just like a little ray of sunshine around our neck, my dearest Manuela <3 Hope you had a most wonderful and sun filled weekend too xx
DeleteCongratulations on the new Scarf Travel Pochette! M xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Dearest xx
DeleteAll so lovely as usual - the looks, the scarves, the travel pochette - sigh! Also, that photo of the duck is superb, with the reflection and the beautiful colours, did you take it? And should I hunt down a duck and use it as my latest fashion accessory? (only joking, no ducks were harmed in this making of this comment).
ReplyDeleteI was so astonished by the duck that my camera nearly fell into the water! I spotted it in the local river, happily swimming admist the regular 'col vert' ducks. Can't imagine how it got there!
DeleteFinding great inspiration in these bright and beautiful looks...twins with you on PF! I have always loved the rust cardigan and it does not disappoint in your styling here...so versatile!
ReplyDeleteOk...what is it with the duck...I have enlarged it on my screen...is it petit H? Not sure if my eyes,or you, are playing tricks on me!!! LOL!
My Birkin insert arrived this week and it is the best...beautiful quality and workmanship! Now,off to get organized...
Have a wonderful,relaxing weekend<3 T xx
Happiest twin hugs to you, my dearest friend <3 LOL re the duck.. I stared for quite a while into the water, making sure to see actual duck feet propelling it forward, rather than some remote controlled motor! The other ducks were completely unfazed by their exotic friend, it was quite a sight! Have a happy remaining Memorial Day weekend xx
DeleteDearest MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteLove yellow and ecru! Yellow is such an incredible color, yet can be so hard find just the right tone and depth. And the same with green….yet as always, you are a master colorist, dear MaiTai! Your ensembles are a perfect gathering of just the most wonderful tones, hues and nuances. Hope you've had a wonderful mother's day weekend, dearest MaiTai <3 Sending you lots of love and sunshine hugs and kisses xxx
PS Congratulations on another lovely design for your great travel pochettes!
Oh, that beautiful sunny yellow in the most buttery soft leather! I very much like the new pochettes, too! You are such a talented photographer, MaiTai!
ReplyDeleteWarm aloha,
Fifi
