girl in the blue scarf

if you have read any of the Shopaholic books, then you know the impact a silk scarf can have in a girl's life.  it changes everything.  which is why i had to purchase this Christian Lacroix one.  i told myself i would wear it everyday, that it would light up my face, that everywhere i went, people would refer to me as the girl in the blue scarf.  alright, i exaggerate, but you see where i'm going with this... i needed this scarf.

my first Gilt purchase.  Christian Lacroix silk scarf, ailes de papillon.

in 1978, Hermes hired Lacroix as a color scheme and hands-on design assistant.  the colors used in this particular scarf are beautiful.  it's mostly composed of shades of blue, but one corner of the scarf has a wave of gold and magenta.  the movement and colors of the design remind me of the northern lights.  Lacroix then went on to work with Jean Patou's fashion house, and later Emilio Pucci.  he has since created his own collections.

Peach Valley for lunch.  Dior sunglasses, American Apparel tank and skirt, Christian Lacroix scarf, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Michael Kors watch, and Tory Burch flats.
