Thinking PInk even if it is Fall!

I know we're all getting out our black, beige and neutrals for Fall, but when I saw this pink Eiffel Tower at The Selby I starting thinking PINK!!!
Do you subscribe to The Selby for a vicarious look inside some divine homes?
These Selby shots are all from Paris designer and top Chanel model, Ines Fressange's FAB pink apartment...swoon
Paris pinks, original art, 9" x 11"
Can you think of another town where pink is so prevalent as Paris?
Here an entire shop in pink. Why were they closed?
ouvert tous les jours, sauf le mardi, jusqu’à 19H30

Pink writing on the wall!
Only in Paris...
Of course there has to be pink perfumes in the town where they say "La vie en rose (pink)" after saying "C'est la vie.."
Jeff Koon's pink hound could not be more at home here...

Shocking pink walls at Musee Nissim Camondo are not so shocking...
Patisserie Stohrer Very pale pink framboises macarons at Patisserie Stohrer...
Patisserie Stohrer And some very nice pink jambon too....
And just across the rue on Montorgueil, more pink pig at patisserie Maison Collet.
For Xmas, Galerie Lafayette's windows were full of P I N K!
Do take your chaises roses s.v.p....
Note how the guests are looking out the window at the viewers. Ha!
Guess who isn't ready to face the realite of Fall!?
Paris pinks.

Bonjour Pink!

    WOW--Some of those are not just pink, but BRIGHT pinks! Not sure I'd want a bright pink room. I loved the bits of pink in the wall, though--I'd love to smell that perfume...

  4. These are lovely items. I love the Eiffel tower! (I have a black one, I think a pink one would be fab!). Pink is such a happy color! I think that's why we love Lilly so much!
    Merci for such a lovely post! ;-)

    Oh my, and I thought our apt. cluttered. We have nothing on Ines!

    I'm lusting for rain so bring on the Fall as soon as possible. Used to be my saddest time of year.

    Love,
    Ann

  8. I desperately needed my pink fix this morning-- MERCI!! My motto-- no one can have a bad day when wearing pink. I saw those Galeries Lafayette windows last Christmas. Trop adorable! I video-ed them with my camera! Wish I were on a plane this minute for la ville lumière...

  14. It's good to see pink on your post because I just see grey in Paris, everywhere!!!! I love pink and I love these fabulous Holiday windows. Waiting for you to shoot new windows...

  15. Hmm, it somehow reinforces the image of Paris as a feminine, romantic city doesn't it? I don't imagine so much pink is welcomed in black-is-the-new-black New York City:)
