Dearest Mai Tai,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post!!!
I do hope that I soon can be twins with you and part of the lovely Zebra club! :-)
This scarf is really beautiful! I specially love the criss cross bow knot, the cowboy knot and to wear the scarf as a top!
It looks amazing with the TB's tunic too!!!!
I hope I'm lucky in finding it.
Congrats on your new necklaces! They are as pretty as the previous ones. I am so fond of all mine! <3
The new pochette is lovelly anf I wait impatiently for the arrival of new organizers.
Thank you for all the time, energy and love you put into your blog, my dearest Mai Tai! Very big hugs, Manuela
Finger's crossed for your Zebra, my dearest Manuela... the club is waiting for you to join! So happy you like the new necklaces, and that you enjoy the ones you already have. Our community here is so much part of this blog, and it would not be the same without you. Thanks and hugs to you <3
DeleteHello again, my dear!
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell me the colour of your long cascade wrap seen in the picture? Is it grey? Thank you. Manuela xx
Dear Manuela, I'm hoping that the ever-gracious Mai Tai won't mind my popping in to say that that the wrap color is French Grey. This season it is available in the Mid Cascade length, which should work beautifully for many of the ladies here. But some of the taller ones would be thrilled to pieces, I bet, if Mai Tai could wave her magic wand (or use her back channel connections) to persuade Kettlewell Colours to reintroduce the Long Cascade wrap in this lovely color in a future collection. Wishing you great luck in capturing a zebra of your own! With warm regards -- and, as always, grateful admiration for these splendid posts,
DeleteAzalie
Dear Azalie,
DeleteThank you for popping in with the information about the wrap's colour.
I am delighted to 'hear' that it is now available as a mid cascade wrap, the perfect size for me.:-)
I am a fan of The Kettlewell Colours and will definitely order more items from them.
Thank you, once again. Warm regards, Manuela
Dear Azalie,
DeleteThank you for your very kind words. Warm regards, Manuela
Many thanks for helping out, dear Azalie. So kind of you, and much appreciated!
DeleteThe colors are so beautiful I can hardly stand it! Amazing how good the scarf looks with your tunic. I've learned a lot about mixing patterns from you, dear MaiTai! Your MaiTai collection is expanding but you never skimp on quality. Brava!
ReplyDeleteWarm aloha,
Fifi
The tunic has turned out more versatile than I thought, it really is a chameleon! The expansion of the collection is a wonderful and exciting journey, thank you the lovely comment <3
DeleteIt looks like your new "baby" will get great mileage with your basic wardrobe pieces! Terrific tunic, also! I want to be you, when I grow up ;)
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is finally morphing into the lovely colours of Autumn. It's finally boot weather!
Have a stellar week...wondering what other brilliant ideas are to come!
Awh, merci my dear haverfordgal! Enjoy a most beautiful and happy autumn, and a great week too x
DeleteThank you for this straightforward lesson titled "How the pink becomes neutral".
ReplyDeleteAnd stays vivid at the same time.
One more story about the patterns matched together like simphony...
Well, it seems it is right that playing piano is simple. Just press the right button in the right moment. Enough to say most people cannot play it, although it is "so easy".
Looking forward to the MT collection news!!!
Hugs, Lea
Beautifully put, dear Lea.. a neutral pink, and yet vivid...it's a fabulous scarf.
DeleteRe patterns..I don't play the piano, but I imagine it comes down to practice and trying, much like mixing prints ;)
Hope you'll enjoy the news to come x
I admit I was not terribly interested in Zebra Pegasus... until I saw all the wonderfully creative approaches you used here. I had no idea that the pattern would "pop" in so many different ways! Once again, as always, you have taken me by surprise. I look forward to your posts... they always make me want to try something new with my carrés. Regards, Elaine
ReplyDeleteSome scarves take us by surprise.. it happened to me with this one too :) So happy that the posts invite to experiment... you made my day, thanks so much!
DeleteBeautiful scarf and I love the new colours of waterfall necklaces. Want them all. I do love my Bleu Jean necklace though. Excited to see what new goodies you will bring us.
ReplyDeleteVal, I just ordered the Bleu Jean yesterday! It will be my second waterfall necklace, the first being the Aqua.
DeleteWarm aloha,
Fifi
The dusty pink of the scarf is just divine. And with the mink collar - just wow!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, dear Lucy!
DeleteJ'aime toujours autant la manière dont vous mélangez les couleurs, ce foulard offre pleins de possibilités et les tonalités sont douces. J'aime vraiment beaucoup !
ReplyDeleteAmitiés,
Merci, chère Anne-Marie! C'est vrai, les couleurs sont doux et jolis, et facile de marié. Belle semaine à vous! Amitiés
DeletePardon j'ai oublié de signer !
ReplyDeleteAu fait, avez vous de nouvelles recettes à faire tester aux gourmandes qui vous lisent !
Merci
Anne Marie
Merci pour me rappeler... ça fait vraiment un petit moment depuis la dernière recette!
DeleteI love how you styled it! I think it is a marvelous scarf and got it in the burgundy and am tempted to get it in your choice and perhaps a khaki!! Isn't it just so versatile?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the our Zebra club, dear CSW! I haven't seen the khaki yet.. it might be perfect for Veroniqué (she looks for a warm toned CW, without color clashes). Would you mind sharing the reference? Merci!
DeleteWell, I knew that whatever you did with it would be wonderful, but I love the scarf with the print tunic and the long wrap, which makes you look even taller and slimmer if that's possible.
ReplyDeleteThe scale of the tunic's print is perfect with that of the scarf, not to mention the colors playing off one another so well. This is true talent, ladies. Mixing patterns can either be sublime or an unmitigated disaster!
And, (pant . . . pant; hope . . . hope), is there a chance that a Kelly 32 insert is on the soon-to-be released list? Please say yes; please, please, please.
Jerrine
Awh, my dearest Jerrine, you render me pink again...my face is starting to blend in with the border of the scarf! The Kelly 32 insert is in the final protoype stage... it needs a couple more tweaks and changes, but should come out very soon! The colors will be the same as in the lavender sachets and linen carré and shawl pochettes :)
DeleteYou used all my favorites! After not being 'wowed' by this scarf initially, I love all the different looks it offers and how it actually acts as a neutral. You've breathed new life into my wardrobe with your wonderful style ideas--thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was amazed by it's versatility too, dear Greta. A great neutral with a fun pop of pink! Thanks so much for the wardrobe comment, it made me happy and my day x
DeleteSo very pretty in pink,dearest MT! You wear and style it beautifully and I am sure many of your followers will be following in step;-)
ReplyDeleteLots of news coming out of The Collection...can't wait to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve! Happy days,
T xx
Thank you, my dearest Trudye. It's an easy pink, and I'm sure it will get a lot of wear...the Zebra might not get much rest! Have a lovely week ahead xx
DeleteQuelle belle utilisation de ce joli foulard! J'ai un peu de mal à trouver un ton qui me convienne dans ce joli modèle(j'ai besoin de tons chauds mais pas trop clash!) Vos nouveaux colliers sont superbes ,difficile de choisir une couleur!!Amitiés.V
ReplyDeleteMerci, chère Veronique. Le noir/bronze/marron (Jerrine et Trudye ont celci) peut-être parfait pour vous...it est très joli. Les couleurs sont chauds, mais pas clash. Bonne chance! Amitiés
DeleteDear MaiTai, I have enjoyed your beautiful blog for quite a while and want to thank you for the time you take to share so much that is inspiring. I adore coming to this calm and elegant place and feel a sense of community with the lovely women who comment here. I am an Hermes collector, an art lover, the mother of two sons, and love to travel so you can imagine how your posts inspire me! I recently bought Zebra Pegasus in the blue cw and have been having fun playing with your styling suggestions. Thank you again for this place of beauty and elegance! Helane
ReplyDeleteHello dear Helane, it is always so lovely to see a new face in our chat corner, a very warm welcome to you! Community describes this place so well, and we all seem to have so much more in common than other love for Hermès scarves. Lovely to be ZP cousins with you, our little club is expanding nicely!
DeleteBeautiful ... as usual! Just love Zebra Pegasus. Oh Oh ...Did I see a new version version of the anneau infinity???
ReplyDeleteSilky Hugs
Catherine
Haha... I immediately thought the same as I glanced the picture with the slip knot :-) Let's wait and see if we're right... Best wishes Claudia (it's a bit like waiting for christmas...)
DeleteWait and see dear Claudia... Let's start our Christmas wish list ;-)
DeleteWarmly,
Catherine
Dear Catherine, I think you made the best offer. But I suspect that my wish list is getting longer and longer and longer... ;-)) Enjoy the weekend, Claudia
DeleteBravo chère Catherine and dear Claudia! I was wondering if anyone noticed the hint ;) Yes, it is one of the petites surprises.. more to come shortly xx
DeleteTrès impatiente de voir vos nouvelles merveilles d'automne ma très chère!
DeleteBizzzz
C.
Sorry, I hate to be a contrarian but I just can't get myself to like the Zebra Pegasus. The wings are done wrong -- the proportions, stance, size, colour and plumage are not right! But, you look beautiful any way! :-) Emily
ReplyDeleteHere is to diversity, dear Emily! Thank God for it, imagine how boring it would all be otherwise x
DeleteDear MaiTai,
ReplyDeleteLovely choice design and colour I have this one also but in c/w 17 rouge/prune/aubergine .
Love all your looks and ideas for this scarf as you are tempting me with this colour also.
Have a lovely weekend
Best Jane x
So lovely to be twins with you, dear Jane <3 The rouge/prune/aubergine is such a beautiful CW! x
DeleteDear Mai Tai, I just recently discovered your blog and want to thank you for all the wonderful posts. Because I have to wear extremely boring clothes for work (mostly black and gray suits), your beautiful scarf ideas have inspired me to build an Hermes scarf wardrobe which has made it a pleasure to dress in the morning. And the scarves make it easy to dress casually too! I just put on my plain old tops and pants and, voila, a beautiful scarf makes me look put together. Thank you, thank you! It's amazing how this has made such a difference in my life!
ReplyDeleteDear Annie, some years ago I made the same experiance: while a seminar the professor told me to wear silk scarfes to complete my (boring) suits. I took the proposal but didn't know how... Than I "found" MaiTai and she opens me a wonderful land. It's interesting how the view changes, when someone (like MaiTai) shows capably. Best wishes Claudia
DeleteA warm welcome to you, dear Annie! So glad you have found us, and wonderful to know that your scarf wardrobe gives you so much pleasure. You described the magic of a scarf so well, and I hope you'll continue to have fun on the orange silk road!
DeleteBig congratulations on your new beauty, dearest MaiTai - another twin here! It is such a fantastic carré - so fresh and alive, so dear and beautifully delicate. As always, your playtime is magic - you bring out the best, everything in all the right proportions and combinations! What exciting news for your Collection - the most beautiful creations one could ever find! Missed you so much <3 Wishing you a most wonderful weekend and sending you big sunshine hugs xxx
