Window Shopping in Paris

One of my favorite things to do in Paris
is to walk the streets at night
and window shop!
The windows light up just like real magic~

I always come back the next day...
to purchase my favorite found muses...

Finding a special window,
is sometimes like finding a hidden present...

waiting just for me....
to slowly unwrap it with my very own eyes~

Especially like this one.....Cire Trvdon~

A gift in itself just to walk into~

Visiting Le Train Bleu Restaurant at the train station
was beyond my wildest parisian dreams~

I tried....
really I did.. not to take more pictures of
Laduree but I couldn't help myself~

Always & always amazing!
And it always will be~

This years collector boxes have
Monsieur or Madame Copper Cameos
on black boxes!!

I LOVE THEM~


XOXO's


Have A festive week my most darling friends!

  9. That white and pink store with the black awnings and faux striped curtains looks gorgeous! I think I would have stood in that window for about 30 minutes trying to soak it all in!

    I hope you have a fantastic week!

  14. Dear Janet,

    So sorry I have not been by before now.

    I love this post. You know how much I love decorating my own shop window ~ so "window shopping" IS a favorite pastime of mine ~ literally!

    I adore that book! I hope you bought it or something equally as fabulous.

    Thanks for sharing your stroll past these windows with us. Such fun!

  16. I use to walk by Zuber one my way to the pool. Always lost time looking in the window. So beautiful so much history. Carla

  17. I hope you haven't bought a Cire Trudon candle yet because I am here to tell you that they have no throw. I was so bummed when I learned my L'Admirable had basically no smell and then learned that that is the general consensus on this line.

    Ahhh... back to Diptyque.

  18. I know what we'll be doing this summer in Paris !
    Last Summer we rented 2 old French cars (2CV) and toured Paris by night. It was REALLY nice.
    Thank you, thank you !
