Windows in Paris... look and linger awhile

Whenever I am in Paris I spend a lot of time window shopping-- trying to absorb the style and the creativity of their fabulous window displays! Their windows are so well planned- some simple and chic and others so full that you really have to study them. 

When I am really homesick for Paris I look at my photos of the buildings and shop windows and take a mini mind holiday.

Bed jacket beauty

Not many people seem to wear these now. I used to find some pretty ones at Neiman Marcus from time to time. Now I look for them on EBay or in flea markets or antique malls. I bid on one recently on Ebay and it became too expensive so I had to give up. I guess there are a few of us out there wearing them!! 

I like to read in bed so I put one on or if I am not feeling well and am resting inbed but not really sleeping I will wear one. Makes me feel better somehow.

Marie Antoinette inspired fashion

Marie Antoinette is still with us today in fashion, in our love of French pastry, jewelry and other stylish areas.

I am always amazed at how often I find her influence.

Have a Pink day!

Bonjour Paris bonjour Rene Gruau

I wonder if I will be greeted by this lovely lady in Paris? Isn't this image magnificent? Rene Gruau was an illustrator who captured the spirit of beauty, style, Paris, so well. I love all these ladies and ads. His work is highly collectible. I hear that sometimes you can buy nice prints of his work along the Seine at those artist booths. I will be looking.

Have a PINK day!
