So I did something really naughty and oh-so-impulsive a few days ago… I was flipping through Madison magazine and spotted this gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Missoni rainbow scarf. My heart skipped a beat.
The story behind this scarf: I’d originally seen it almost a year ago in another magazine. It was soft, slinky and rainbow.. basically exactly what I like. I really wanted it and noticed that the magazine listed the stockist that was located in Sydney. So the next week, I went to the store and eagerly asked for “that Missoni rainbow scarf I saw in the magazine”.. only to be told “Oh hon, it was so popular we had a ton of enquiries. It’s sold out!”
Distraught and annoyed, I stalked eBay for the next few months.. waiting for the scarf to appear. IT NEVER DID. Hunted around the stores here, couldn’t find it. Went to the Missoni boutique in Singapore, still unavailable. Pretty much gave up home after 10+ months of looking.
Then a few days ago, Madison magazine featured THAT EXACT SCARF!!!! This time, I didn’t wait a week – I just called the store, Christine, and said “I WANT THAT MISSONI RAINBOW SCARF!!!” The store was located in Melbourne but the lady said she would be happy to Express Post it to me, so I would receive it the very next day.
I did 🙂
The scarf is divine. A beautiful vibrant slash of rainbow zigzags against a black background. It’s not too long, and is really soft. It looks fab tied around the waist, just under the bust, around the neck, as a hairband/hairtie, on a bag.. soooo many different possibilities! It also folds into a tiny little thing, so it’s nice to pop into the smallest of my bags to whip out if my neck feels chilly.
Eeeeeee!! It’s the cutest little thing. Just a nice every day accessory to add colour to my outfit 🙂
Missoni scarf
That scarf has the prettiest colours in it! ♥
The rainbow totally sold me, it’ll match everything, that’s how I justify it 😛

It’s soooo pretty!!

It’s soooo pretty!!
Hehe I like it too! 😛
Cutest freaking scarf EVER!
Good to hear you finally got it. There’s nothing worse than that one fashion item that “got away” is there?
Heh so true! I’m VERY happy I”ve got my hot ‘lil hands on it now 😉
Hawt! Gorgeous, isn’t it? If you don’t mind me asking how much was it?
I ended up paying retail, so the same price as it would sell at any store. And then Express post on top but it wasn’t too bad since the store was Australian
I love it! and I want one is there any way I could get the link for it please? You always have the best finds!
Ohh I haven’t seen a pic or info of it online, I”m sorry 🙁 I’ve only seen it in magazines!
OH my, it’s so gorgeous! Knowing what it’s like to be in love with something and having to wait a long til you finally get it, I can imagine how happy you’re feeling right now 🙂
Yeah, it’s a real thrill to finally get my hands on it, since I waited months and months 🙂
I love it! Previously, I was waxing on about how I love scarves to tie in your hair or on your handbag and how it reminded me of Gwyneth Paltrow’s character in the Talented Mr. Ripley. Great fashion investment. If you want something for so long, it shows that you really wanted it and it’s not an impulsive purchase.
I def think they’re lovely tied onto a handbag, and it doubles up as a scarf too if it gets cold
It’s GORGEOUS! Absolutely GORGEOUS!
I think so too *jumps up and down*!!
ohh i remember u wanting to buy this ages ago 🙂
glad you found it.. love how u tied the bow !!
It looks nice tied in a bow around a handbag handle 😀
Very awesome scarf! Congrats on finally scoring it! 🙂
Hee thanks, blimmin’ FINALLY!
Hm, know if that’s available in the US? It’s so cute!
I believe so, might want to check with the Missoni boutique? only prob is that it may be sold out :X

on your fashion passion website or in your livejournal…do you have any tips for buying authentic labels on ebay? i could really use your guidance, oh wise one!
I second this request! 🙂
The thing is, there’s no real hard and fast rule – you just have to know the brand inside-out and then you can see at a glance if it’s authentic. I just built up my Balenciaga/LV/etc knowledge by buying the bags, inspecting them, and being so obsessed that I ended up being able to tell fakes apart from the authentic *lol*! 😛

Oohhhhh GORGEOUS! Does the store still have another one for sale? If yes, I WANT one! =P
You can try calling them? Do it quick though ‘cos that scarf sells out SO quickly!

ooo i likey.. very pretty mix of colors! it will certainly brighten a cold winter day up..
Yeah! Can’t wait for winter now 😉
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I don’t dare ask how much but heck, you can afford to splurge now! 😉
It’s a treat to myself after this month’s news etc 😛 And fortunately I haven’t really spend that much else this month!
So pretty!
Can you tell me how much it is, please?
I like just throwing it around my neck, and it fits into the smallest of my bags too! I had to pay full retail at the store.
It’s GORGEOUS! Absolutely GORGEOUS!
I think so too *jumps up and down*!!
Worth every penny, it’s completely gorgeous and cheery!! 🙂
Haha I love your icon! And yeah, I like that it’s so cheery but on a black base so it isn’t too Barbie-like
Yeah that’s true, on a lighter color it might be a cover overload. 🙂 Purr-fect!
And I’ve gone icon crazy! lol Spent like an hour picking out new ones yesterday, I really need to do better things with my time! =p
