On the Streets of Paris

The girls are getting ready to rejoin their dolly friends and family across the ocean. But before they leave, they wanted to take you on a short tour of Paris to view the Christmas sights of the city. We've taken the opportunity to focus on another source of style inspiration....ordinary, everyday Parisians!!!


Iman loved the look of a white lace skirt worn with black sweater & tights worn by a passer-by on Avenue Montaigne.



This post is not a tutorial, but rather, a styling session using many of the basic patterns already featured on this sight. In a nutshell, the major trends dominating Paris streets consists of long, leggy looks thanks to skinny jeans and opaque tights, hooded parkas, fur vests and scarves as well as boots: knee length, short booties and Uggs. Though it's not yet on the streets, sequins will be a big trend during the holidays especially when worn "casually" under sweaters.

Fur vests and Uggs (boots) are big on the streets of Paris. Here Jerry strolls through Place Vendome, the high fashion jewelry district.

But this post is not really one of words.... It's all about my dolls in on the streets at Christmastime.

Genny, clad in a hooded, quilted parka, leggings and knee high boots, stops to admire an extravagant dollhouse in the window of Pain d'Epice, our favorite shop for miniatures.



Iman stopped by Au Printemps Department store to admire its Christmas windows.

Each set of windows are sponsored by a different fashion company. These windows are by Lancôme cosmetics.

It's like springtime at Christmas in a terrifically fantasy setting!

Christian Louboutin's windows are filled with dancing show-dolls kicking up their legs.

In the Burberry windows, all of the wooden dolls here are dressed in their famous trench coats and those famous plaid scarves!

The dolls in the Sonia Rykiel (fashion designer) windows are having such a good time, dancing and strutting their stuff.

 

The display features stylish dolls interacting with (human) shadow figures that walk across the backdrop.

 

Meanwhile on the other side of town, Barbara takes a style note from the Dolce&Gabbana window display.

 

On the Avenue Montaigne, the high fashion district of Paris, Billie shows off the coolest new way to wear sequins...under a sweater and worn with boots.

 

Donyale found more dolls and stuffed animals in the windows at the department store, BHV. Their theme for this year is distinctly British!



Stopping for a pastry, Jerry poses in front of Russian tea room, Pouchkine with its very decorative store front.

Here at the Carrousel du Louvre, the glittery decorations are on the inside of the mall. Stopping to admire the lights, Iman wears a blazer, tights and boots accessorized with a fur scarf and fringed handbag.
