Paris Boots

I did not bring any boots to Paris!
quelle horreur
What was I thinking ? ? ?
*Note petit touches of red...ahem
Anne sent me off to the Carrousel at the Louvre to catch the fashion scene...
Sky high boots bien sur!
OK all heights are on view...
Strappy boots too...
The booted kiss - kiss...
A boot-free woman! What? L'interdit!
Not exactly boots, but a lot of leg covering on "a very tall drink of water" as they say (not in France). An escaped model in the Metro?
Later I had a tall drink of Perrier at Le Select...and tried to sketch those Frenchies.
Granted, if you ate one of these at Angelina, you could never, ever fit into those tall, skin-tight boots!
And after all I am saving myself for next week's Salon du Chocolat!
BONJOUR PARIS TALL BOOTS!

  1. Yet again, some amazing photos. It seems really strange seeing Paris dressed for winter when down here in 24 we are still in shorts and T-shirts (or we were LOL).

    Any Pret a Porter fashion show shots?

  2. I just saw a store window in Paris with the most delicious purple, violet and almost fuschia colored tall leather boots. Oh, would I love a pair of those!

    Great post today....great fotos,,,,
    that "model" misses out on sooo much,,,like that heavenly shot of cake thingy with the raspberries on top. Poor girl must not indulge in any of the Paris "goodies"....
    These Boots are made for walkin...

  8. Are you seeing "shoe-ties", the short boots that are something of a shoe-boot hybrid?

  9. Over-the-knee boots are my fixation right now.

  10. I think I begged mum to get me my very first pair of gorgeous leather boots one Christmas at Galleries Lafayette when I was fifteen, ever since my weakness for them has endured...

    Am I dreaming or am I just seeing things -- but does this woman have on MISMATCHED (I mean completely different??) boots? Like halves of two different pair of boots? Or is just the way picture was taken? How weird . . . I knew boots were in (have they ever gone out?) but wow . . . .Robin K

  19. Love the boots--you gotta' have 'em--they keep you warm and dry and toasty. It's required. Buuuuut...you also gotta' have some of those delicious pastries. You'll work it off walking and finding good stories for us, Carol! ;)) Nice sketches there!

I cant speak French but I had such fun watching anyway( occasionally I guessed a word)Id love to know how to put clips on a post. Any tips how? Fiona
