  1. Oh gosh it’s so hard to choose! I really love the Animal Parade and the Festina Lente but I’m gonna say that the Dinoflowers is my favorite. :)

  2. Oh man, I really need all of these.The dinosaur one for work, the bluebird one for more serious times, the cat one for when I want people to think I am a little crazy, which is all the time…Oh and the Festina! Ok I am gonna stop now.

  3. i love the motto of the turtle scarf “hurry slowly.” this scarf would definitely make me want to mosey around town to show it off!

  4. It’s a tough choice between Argle Bargle Blue Bird and Cheetah Spotting. They both have that distinct quality that screams “Wear me everyday with everything you own.” I think I’m going to side with Cheetah Spotting… for now. :)

  5. Definitely the “terrorcats” scarf! I love cats, especially my own! I even have their portraits tattooed on me!! :)

  6. As much of a cat lady as I am, I’m a little in love with the dinosaur scarf. Dinosaurs were my favorite thing growing up, and combined with florals? YES, PLEASE.

  7. it’s a tough call between Cheetah Spotting and Terrorcats, but I think the little Terrorcats have my heart!

  8. Oh, my! These are the most beautiful scarves that I ever did see! I think my very favorite is “Animal parade”.

    Hope you’re having a great day!

    Miki.

  9. This is the Best Thing Ever. I can’t. I am way too fucked up for this shit.

    Dinoflowers. All Day Erryday.

  10. I absolutely love the animal parade scarf! They are all wonderful and the attention to detail is amazing!

  11. wow! these scarves are beautifulll
    i’m riding the struggle bus while trying to pick a favorite. i’d probably say the dinoflowers design!

  12. it’s a tie between the terror cats and the maltese laces silk scarf. rawaan alkhatib, absolutely stunning scarves!

  13. OH MAH GAH! It’s so hard to choose a favorite – but the crazy cat lady in me HAS to go with the pink cat-head scarf. I would wear that EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

  14. At first I saw the kitty one and instantly I thought It would make the perfect gift for my friend, the cat lady. BUT THEN I SAW THE DINOSAUR SCARF and OMG I about died. I’m so in love, and I neeeeeeeeeeeed this in my wardrobe!! Dinoflowers silk scarf, has to be mine!

  15. I am a bit torn – on one hand I love the Terror Cats…and if my partner weren’t allergic I could easily became crazy cat lady..
    But on the other hand – I am really into dots at the moments…but

    I think I’ll have to go with the Aliki Silk Chiffon Scarf – such vibrant colours

  16. Argle Bargle Blue Bird scarf is hands down the greatest scarf, love it. I would live in this until it was in tatters.

  17. I definitely love all:)))i love scarves:))))…oh, they are fantastic, but the most fantastic are Argle Bargle Blue Bird Silk Scarf and Festina Lente Silk Scarf:)))
    Thank you for this giveaway!!!

  18. The terrorcats is my personal favourite. It have got one kitten for each mood. If I won this scarf I would be a really happy kitten. meow!

  19. Oh, the Argle Bargle Blue Bird is wonderful (of course, they ALL are!)! :D
    These scarves are so whimsical! <3

  20. This was a bit of a difficult question to answer since all her scarves are fantastic with their own twists! But I have to stick to the “Terrorcats” as being my favorite. Cats are classic.

  21. i love them all! what beautiful work.
    terrorcats and animal parade both make me giggle.
    can i have one of each?
    okthanksbyee <3

  22. I LOVE the cheetah spotting scarf! I would love to wear it to work (in the hospital) to spice up otherwise less than exciting work/hospital appropriate outfits

  23. The Festina Lente scarf is my favorite. I study Renaissance literature and have encountered this motto many times in books, but never on a scarf!

  24. I adore both the Terrorcats Silk Scarf and Dinoflowers Silk Scarf. They are both so adorable.

    Thank you for the opportunity!

  25. I LOVE THEM ALL! My fav is the Maltese Lace Silk Scarf! I told my boyfriend this is a birthday gift must;)

  26. Hi! My favorite is the terrorcats one. Thanks for the lovely givaway; I hope I win = ^.^ = Yours truly, Catarina Pereira (Lisbon)

  27. Hi! My favorite is Terrorcats! Kisses, Catarina Pereira (I have already tried, in vain, to comment, so please excuse me for eventual double commenting)

  28. Choosing between these scarves is like choosing between my children. But ultimately I’d have to go with Dino Flowers–time machine crossed with pastoral romp. They’re all lovely!

  29. I LOOOVVEE Terrorcats! You gotta love cats!

    (but all the scarfs are to die for!)

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  30. I have to say, I really love the tortoise one because it reminds me of Esio Trot, the Roald Dahl book about a little tortoise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esio_Trot

    (Although it is also very cool that the Terrorcat one looks like the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland and is therefore crying out to be worn with a big black hair ribbon)

  31. The Terrorcats scarf is my favorite! Reminds me of a German children’s storybook I had when I was a kid in just the BEST way.

  32. They’re all gorgeous and beautifully made scarves, but I’d have to say my favorite is the terrorcats! Love the faces!

  33. Terrorcats all the way! Thanks for such an amazing giveaway and an introduction to another independent designer!

    xo Olivia

  34. Ah these are all so amazing! It was tough to choose between all of them and I love all of them so much. I think that if I had to choose I would choose the Festina Lente Silk Scarf. It is just the cutest. Thanks for introducing us to this great shop! Thanks for the giveaway!

  35. Oh my. Definitely the Dinoflowers scarf. There aren’t many scarves with dinosaurs on them, you know.

  36. I think that this is a great giveaway! I love this site! My favorite silk scarf is the Argle Bargle Blue Bird! Love them all it was hard to decide but I love blue and birds so I choose this one! Thank you!

  37. oh my…they’re all beautiful. I would die for the Animal Parade or the Blue Bird. so, so lovely.

  38. My favorite is DINOFLOWERS! I currently work at the Field Museum (home of Sue the T-Rex) & would love for this to become apart of my nerdswag.

  39. Dinoflowers! I love dinosaurs! I have a dino-belt, dino-shoes, and a collection of dinosaurs displayed on my entertainment center! I would love to add a dino-scarf!

  40. It’s such a tough choice, but I think the terrorcats scarf is my favorite too! Totally ace.

  41. I used to volunteer at the Museum of Natural Science in my city growing up. I used to get there early to sit in the paleo exhibit alone with the dinosaurs for 15 minutes before I started my day.

    Dinoflowers definitely brought back many memories. I’m in love!

  42. I’m loving the Terrorcats Silk Scarf, the perfect accesorie for the summer. I would wear it as a headcarf!

  43. Love them all!! But my favourite is the cats and the Festina Lente (turtle) one on the website!

  44. Normally I would be all over the dinoflower scarf but the argle bargle blue bird is kinda wonderful. Argle bargle blue please.

  45. For me, it’s a toss-up between the Aliki and the Terrorcats. Gorgeous, whimsical prints. Thanks for the excellent fashion tip, as always.

  46. I’d have to say the Aliki or Dinoflowers. They’re all fabbo, though. Going directly on to my etsy shop favourites list!

  47. I don’t know that I could ever truly decide between the terrorcats or dinoflowers. For the sake of my pocketbook, I hope I win one!

  48. I am in love with the Argle Bargle and the Aliki Silk! The colors of all the scarves are so pretty!

  49. I am desperately in love with the dinoflowers scarf. I love how the illustrations echo children’s coloring books, and I am sliiiiiightly obsessed with dinosaurs.

  50. These are so adorable! I like a few of them, but I have to choose the Terrorcats one as my favorite. (The Animal Parade is a close second!)

    Thanks! : )

  52. I don’t think there’s anything more perfect than dinosaurs and flowers! Thanks for such a lovely giveaway xx

  53. Animal Parade! Maltese Lace! So hard to decide between those two, though leaning slightly towards Animal Parade because it’s such a gorgeous unusual pattern. I definitely need more giraffe in my outfits!

  54. I am looking for a cute scarf for wearing it in my hair, it would be amazing to win this givaway! My favorite is the Animal Parade.

  55. DINOSAURS DINOSAURS DINOSAURS!!!!
    This was a hard decision as I love cats… but the dino one is adorable!!!!!

  56. Ooh! I am in Love with the Animal Parade Silk Scarf. It’s everything I like: Polka dots and animals! Brilliant!

  57. i’m hard-pressed in deciding between the aliki silk chiffon scarf and the maltese lace silk scarf! both very beautiful and colorful scarfs! i love both scarfs for their effortless wonder in pattern and color choice! lovely, indeed.

  58. Ahhh I can’t decide between the dinosaurs or the animals, but i think the animal parade wins – loving the polkadots!

  59. terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats! terrorcats!

  60. Omgosh these are amazing. Initially I wanted to say that the dinoflowers was my favorite but then I saw the animal parade. LOVE LOVE LOVE!

  61. These are amazing!! I’d have to go with the terrorcats just because they look just like my lil kitty but I love them all! xo

  62. Ohmygod they are so awesome!! It is a toss up between the dinoflowers scarf and the terrorcats. Both are amazing!

  63. it´s really difficult to decide because i love all the designs, but i choose the festina lente scarf.

  64. The Animal Parade scarf or the Terrorcats scarf – they’re both utterly lovely! Thanks to introducing me to a new artist and hosting such a super giveaway :)

  65. SO BEAUTIFUL. It’s so hard to choose between the dinoflowers and the blue birds, but I have to go with the birds!

  66. It’s a close tie between Dinoflowers and Festina Lente, but I can’t let Jurassic Park down, so my fav is Dinoflowers!

  67. They are all super plus awesome, but I feel like Animal Parade is the one I’d wear all the time.

  68. Terrorcats is adorable, but I’m kind of obsessed with the polka dots on Animal Parade! Ah! Do cats win because they’re cats? (i think they might)

  69. I personally love Aliki Silk Chiffon Scarf! It’s so versatile and the color is just beautiful! :)

  70. i love the Silk Scarf: Argle Bargle Blue Bird, and the Dinoflowers Silk Scarf. I never win, so I prolly wont have to choose :(

  71. Ouch! so hard to choose. they remember me of the one i used to wear when i was a little girl.
    I adore the one with the confettis and all the little plastic animals and dinosaurus who seems to get of my imagination. But i assume that i prefer the last one, because there’s a lot more of animals to see on it!
    Sorry for my english !
    Crossed fingers for this concours, anymway, it allows me to discover the creations of Rawan Alkhatib :)

  72. Thanks for organising this giveaway:)
    My fav has to be either Maltese Lace silk scarf or Aliki silk chiffon scarf although they are all to die for

  73. I am a huge cat person. I even have a cat iphone case, so naturally I LOVE THE TERRORCATS style!

  74. I love the Animal Parade scarf! I was actually gazing longingly at it a few days ago! The Dinoflowers one is also crazy cool.
