Window Shopping in Paris

Literally. With the dismal dollar and family members pleading not to go to any flea markets, I window shopped in Paris (and admired the purchases of others from a far...)

The image above from a store in St. Paul's village in the Marais, near where we stayed. Love the urn with the coral and shells.





I have never posted about clothes before but these dresses from German designers, Claudia and Christina Meier, are just too absolutely beautiful not to share. They were featured in the 3/2008 issue of Wohnen I posted about yesterday.

    Where did you stay in the Marais. It's where I always stay when I'm lucky enough to get to the City of Lights???? So jealous.

    Thank you for the virtual vacation to Paris. I just love the clothes, wish I could find them in the U S. The pink boxes in the first picture are wonderful, they even monogram the outside wall of the store. Only in Paris!

    I know exactly what you mean, we are here in France, and everything here makes our things at home positively a bargain. But the style with the window display and the florists, the markets and shops are all inspiring. German clothes are so fun!
