I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

Hermès ‘Paris, mon Ami’ campaign at Harrods Knightsbridge

How do I go about writing about scarves without including a sappy account on how mother had a sliding drawer full of them and whenever I’d run my fingers over them I’d smell of Guerlain Shalimar on my palm for the rest of the week? Well, I guess I can’t anyway since my mother did not have a sliding drawer full of perfumed scarves – our furniture was ancient IKEA and the scarves shared a wiggling drawer full of my dad’s ties and some neglected stockings. So, I’m glad to say visiting the Hermès popup shop in Harrods Knightsbridge (celebrating 20 years relationship) today incited no nostalgia flashbacks whatsoever, and refreshingly I was able to form my own impression and fondness for the silk scarves. They were demonstrating tips on 1,000 ways to wear a scarf and my own ‘installment’ had 12 scarves in them, weaved together into what Penny called a ‘Hermès waffle’. And of course, you probably know already how much I loved the DIY style-your-scarf cards… off to try some with my teatowels!

The pop-up shop is open till the 2nd of January, so make sure you drop by and learn a few tricks.
Thank you Penny for the shots of moi!

  3. INCREDIBLE!!!! I have a chest drawer full of silk scarves, 80% of them are unworn…..hmmm it’s play time…well, wait til I return.

    I love your intro! So funny! Too many bloggers disingenuously mention the lovely, but privileged indulgences of their lives. But without a hint of humility for those of us who haven’t been lucky enough to afford them or haven’t come from families that can.
    Quite refreshing!

  22. Those scarf styling cards have got me dribbling with excitement. Unfortunately, silk and dribble are probably not a good mix.

  23. Amazing Shini! This post feels like someone threw-up a smorgasburg of silky prints… it’s incredible. Love the shots of you and Peony. The concept 1,000 ways to wear a scarf is awesome. I know of only 1 really… draped around my neck. #lameo xx

  56. I remember there was this ’90s trend of wearing bandanas as tops…I wasn’t really into that (not that I should’ve been, since I was only a kid). But that card with a scarf worn as a top is gorgeous! So inventive!

    actually, have you seen this video? It shows how to wear a scarf in 25 different ways. Quite mesmerizing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU
