Spring Windows & The Secret Garden

Today I'm loving the pretty spring windows at Le Printemps in Paris and the new Dior video filmed at Versailles.

Et vous?

New York In Paris

 As part of my doing research on my next novel ( pssst, can you keep a secret? It's a sequel to the first!) I found these pictures of recent Le Printemps windows: The chic Paris department store gave New York designers a lovely tribute.  Aren't they simply fabulous?

And found this New York style café recently opened by a New York expat, the totally fabulous Merce ( she makes delicious coffee in fabulous vintage clothing, need I say more?), it's called Merce and the Muse, it's located in Le Marais and you can bet that I will stopping in for a treat next time I'm in town...

Finally, I came across these stunning posters this week created by French artist Vahram Muratyam.

A friendly visual match between those two cities, as seen by a Parisian-based-and-lover on New York : details, cliches and contradictions.  

Vraiment, J'Adore!
