There is one thing I loved doing, when we were in Paris, was looking at all the very creative boutique window displays.
Here are a few photos taken of the Chanel Boutique, at Rue Cambon, Paris.
Chanel is indeed synonymous with fantasy, not merely for creating but also for interpreting style.
Everyday is a Fashion Show and the world is the runway.
~ Coco Chanel
It is a lovely Auckland day here, there is a lot of painting going on, around the windows and door frames ~ one thing I will not miss is the smell of the paint fumes.
Hope that May, has got off to a good start for you.
Hugs
Carolyn
My dear Carolyn, these window displays are really fascinating! The lion as a representative of the decorations on old houses, the bright orange wigs as a symbol for young, modern life ... (at least that is my interpretation ;o)) And I also loved the photo of the Carousel in your previous post so much!
ReplyDeleteWarm hugs and enjoy the pretty days!

Best regards from Paris...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day !

A beautiful Chanel window display ...I love the soft muted tonings matched with that shock of red hair .... Très dramatique.
ReplyDeleteHoping you're having a lovely week Carolyn xx
Ciao Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteDevo dire che le parrucche rosse dei manichini, fanno decisamente risaltare ancor più ed accentrare l'attenzione.
Ottimo layout! ;o)
Bacio grande! KISSES and HUGS! NI
Paris is so beautiful - even in the rain when I was last there!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!
Hugs
Nora & Lola:)

Oh Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI bet it's lots more fun to window shop in Paris than painting window and door frames...Hee, hee, hee. Wishing you a beautiful weekend my friend. Sending you a great big hug.
Much love,
♥Ana
Oooh la la, tres chic!
ReplyDeleteHave a productive, drip-free and wonderful weekend. Make sure you open those windows! xo
Dearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYou were lucky for roaming those boutiques in the City of Lights! Paris is breathtaking. I've been there a couple of times in my life but would go back in a heart beat.
Enjoy your weekend and hope the ugly paint fumes (unhealthy too...) will soon evaporate for you.
Love,
Mariette
I love the art and atmosphere of Paris,your post remind me of my lovely time spent there. Plus I saw Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris a few days ago....
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend

ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteThese a great photographs! I can't wait to visit in person when we go at the end of June. Hopefully I will be able to find a couple flea markets to go to. I'd love to find some fun things to bring back for my home. Chanel is such a classic!

I adore creative window designs! Chanel does such a fabulous job. Don't you adore the orange/red wigs?
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Carolyn. We'll be going to a Kentucky Derby party. Such fun!
hmmmm, how do you think I would look in orange hair Carolyn? Maybe I should ask Dale about that first : )
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful photos my dear friend.
Sure wish I could send some rain your way...do you want it with or without the wind???
love to you...
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThese window displays are so cool. The girls just loved everything about Paris when they went. I love the lion in the background. Lions are my favorite.
~Sheri at Red Rose Alley
Great displays of great clothes! :-)
ReplyDeletePrecious and most beautiful Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteLife is so lovely. We were meant to unearth the things within us that make us who we are, and who OUR PARENTS WERE TO US. What a life...what a love.
Enjoy your day! Anita
