Dior and La fête des Mères


 And for maman this weekend. What are you planning?
 Why not run over to Eric Chauvin for some pretty fleurs?
 22, rue Jean Nicot 75007
 Pick out exactly the rose you want in the courtyard.
 Ah, the perfect pale pink bouquet pour maman tres rafinee.
 A quick Metro up to Printemps to get maman.
Pourquoi pas?
 You'll be so inspired by the windows.
 The perfect grosgrain pale pink ribbow.
 Pink ribbons everywhere.
 As if you were stepping into Christian Dior's atelier..
 Imagine you're the sorcerer's apprentice checking the new designs.
 For Miss Dior Cherie new bottle...dring...dring
It's Natalie Portman...she wants to come by.
 Would maman like perfect pink suede slippers to go with her bouquet?
 Plus Pierre Herme's newest macaron, Jardin Parfume
I ate mine yesterday...exquise
 Une aquarelle pour maman?
 et une petite chien aussi.
Mais maman will NEVER eat Carte D'Or ice cream!
What were you thinking chouchou?
Call Amorino for a 'tulip' gelato delivered a la porte.
Nice to dream a little isn't it?
Bon Week-End all Parisbreakfast mamans et enfants!

    1. There is one on University Place enfin..
      But I refuse to pay $5+ for an ice cream
      Somehow it feels different in Paris..
      Why is that?

  8. The pink is everywhere! Very nice soft colors - the flowers and the greenery.
    I love the sketch - that is one heck of a bottle!

    1. Perfume bottle design is a major big deal! it's where a lot of the $$$ goes + advertising promotion.

    2. I have a beautiful collection of those giant "factice" bottles filled to the top. I have them on the top of a big chest in my bathroom (in Texas everything is big, you know), and I love them. Maybe one day, this one?

    1. In general I love BRAND marketing in France.
      I think it's the best but French Girl says US is better...
      Definitely prettier more fem in France IMHO.
