  1. What you achieve with these looks Iris is what is called : Smart Casual. Terribly hard to get this effect. You have the kind of look that will look right in anywhere. You can go browsing outside or taking tea in a luxury place. BRAVO

    1. Hi Julie, thank you for your sweet compliment which made my day since I didn’t know these looks are called Smart Casual. As you described, I like watching H men’s collection because these looks are practicable in anywhere, they are so effortless and agreeable. :-)

  3. Lovely Iris! I agree with Julie K above - you achieve Smart casual so effortlessly! Can you tell me how you have tied your scarves in photos 1 & 4 - is it just a single knot or have you folded the scarf specially? They all look great. Thanks for sharing. SAxx

    1. Thank you SA for your lovely comments! The knot of photo No.1 is MT’s Asymmetrical shoulder wrap knot, tied very near the neck. For No.4, I firstly folded my scarf in rectangle and, as you guessed, did a single knot in a very loose way. Terracotta hems of Au Fil are so lovely, aren’t they? :-)

    Hello Iris,
    Congratulations once again for your inspirational post. I adore your idea of casual man type outfits paired with a silk scarf. Actually, the more I look at your photos and the more I think: these male models should wear a silk scarf too...
    All the best :-)

    1. Hi Anne,
      Thank you for stopping by! It is very rare to see the men wearing the scarf in town, but as you say, they should wear it!! I think straight lines of men’s outfits really go well with those of the scarf… But that doesn’t mean the lady can’t wear the silk of course ;-)))

    Oh, Iris! Such lovely pairings! You have a great understanding of the color wheel, in particular as shown in photo number one - complimentary colors. Too bad for me that I do not have anything in that color of sweater, scarf twin, as I would be very tempted to copy the color combination. Love the knots in photos two and four. Well done, as always, dear.

    1. Thank you again dear Cynthia!
      As you pointed out, I sometimes love to wear in complementary colors as that could bring freshness and dynamism to the dairy outfits :-) Day by day, this blue AN is becoming a special scarf because when I wear it I always think of you!!

      Thank you, dear, for the sweet compliment. I am so happy to be scarf twins with you! The colors that you put with it, and the styling is so inspiring. I wore mine today in a mens knot, paired with jeans and a black blazer, accented with a turquoise and silver bracelet.

    Iris.J さま♪

    いつもブログを楽しみに拝見しておりますが、いかがお過ごしでいらっしゃいますか?
    きっとお忙しくていらっしゃるのでしょうね。お元気でおられますように。

    デニムジャケットは季節の変わり目にも便利なアイテムですが、ブログを拝見してスカーフとの組合せも素敵で、私もデニムシャツを買いました♪

    2013ssの中では何がお気に召しましたか? 私は"Photo Finish " のfuchia,orange,jaune と、それから"Le mors a la Conetable" のダークグレーの様なanthracite,argile,roseが気に入りました。

    また、Iris.Jさまの今シーズンの着こなしを拝見するのを楽しみにしております♪
    日本の夏は暑く湿度も高く、あまり首回りにスカーフをしづらいのですが、何か素敵な合わせ方などがありましたら、ブログでご紹介していただけるとうれしいです♪
    あ、でもご無理なさらないでくださいね。

    Dear Iris, I have a request to make. I think you are the type of person who can make anything (whether expensive or inexpensive) look fantabulous, so my request is for you to further inspire us by restarting your blog using everyday inexpensive clothing, accessories, shoes, etc. I'll bet you can make it work! :-)

    Dear Iris, I too, have a request. If I had to place a guess on which one scarf you bought in SS, it would be Mythiques Phoenix. Perhaps you can style this scarf for me? I have this scarf, as well as Au Coeur de la Vie (cw21) which I wore in a a look inspired by 25March2012 post, second photo. I hope you begin blogging again, dear.

  20. Dear Iris, I'm beginning to think that you never really existed in the first place! This site must be just an Hermes ad disguised as a personal blog -- I'm very sure those really exist en masse! Prove me wrong! Come back! :-)

    Iris, come back! Your blog is the epitome of class and grace, and now with so many of the founding tPF H bloggers gone (or who have become accessory vendors rather than style bloggers) you really are missed as a style leader. We miss you!

    I agree with many of the posts in which you are asked to return to blogging, and sharing your style. I learned so much from your color pairings, which were brilliant! And look at your page views! You and your impeccable style are missed. I also agree with OC Housewife. It's hard to find a H scarf blog that focuses on style. I've saved most of your photos for reference, but check your blog to see if you have decided to come back to blogging. I hope one day, you will return, Iris.

  29. Iris, again, please some back! We need H style bloggers. The one who started as an H style blogger (MT) is now a accessory vendor, ask a previous post suggests.
    Today the post of said blogger was Merry Christmas, oh and introducing the most recent items to my collection.... You have such great, innovative style that you are missed.
