Blue suede shoes seem right for Memorial Day no?
Here's a way to double your creativity - spritz yourself all over with blue paint like Jean-Paul Goude did to Jean-Paul Gautier!
One of my favorite shots of French ultramarine blue watercolor swatches.
Have you noticed how French moms and daughters dress alike in Paris?
Blue bag + blue dress.
All she needs are those blue suede shoes. I saw a lot of blue in Paris.
A stunner of a bleu wall at an art show in March.
A touch of bleu at the show.
One of my favorite boutique hotels (in the Marais) is solid blue, Hotel Caron de Beaumarchaise. I long to stay here one night...
And their prices are nothing to get bleu about either.
Tres joli/beau oui?
A blue dollie at La Petit Blah-Blahs
Nicole of Little Brown Pen lives in Paris full time. Take a look at her blog and swoon or get ze book and look offline whenever you want to sink into Paris colors.
I went looking for some Cobalt blue yesterday but all I found were these jazzy, Floridian rhinestone sunglasses at Gap Kids of all places ($10)
I was relieved to see turquoise bleu is A OK in Paris but will it double my creativity? One wonders...
I spent most of my time in March shooting lunette signs...
Something I never see around here: those shots of blue clothes on the mannequins - how to say this? Something about the mannequins "stands out"....anatomically correct breasts!
ReplyDeleteFor cobalt blue sunglasses -target and they are rubber! Not very dark though.
You are ALWAYS a fountain of knowledge Jeanette!
Deletemerci indeed
Oh they are OUT-OF-STOCK and pale, pale turquoise blue Dahlink!
DeleteYou have led me astray...
I saw plenty of them in the store - and cobalt blue, too, last weekend.....
DeleteI'M GONE TO KANSAS CITY, KANSAS CITY HERE I COME
DeleteDear Carol..Your blue-bleu post is so appropriate for me..As you know I had 3 little boys the last 4 days and the 2yr olds favorite watercolor color turned out to be blue-bleu..He was blue..my eraser was blue and most colors in the Pelikan palette box I brought ended up blue:)
ReplyDeleteI also saw an place for you in Paris on House Hunters International..a mere 1 million Euros..and small....Oy.
I like Blue.
...maybe because those lunette signs are so cool. Many years ago, I painted that very same shade of blue on a wall that's sort of a focal point in my home (Crayola paint meant for kids' spaces of all things) and a stunner it is....it never gets boring.
ReplyDeleteAdore those sloppy bows on the shoes !
ReplyDeleteYou have really gotten me thinking about that blue bleu. I became very obsessed when I was in Paris, with the street workers' blue salopettes. Such a gorgeous color. I tried to find some to buy but was unsuccessful. When I explained to Parisians what I was looking for they thought I was absolutely CRAZY!!!
ReplyDeleteWorker's blue coats are exactly the same intense cobalt/ultramarine blue-there is a special store-it begins with T.
DeleteBill Cunningham wears it year round
I know. Isn't Bill Cunningham brilliant??!!! Of course you're on the same blue wave length!
DeleteI am in love with French bleu. Love those shoes in the first photo. When in France the last time I tried to visit http://www.bleu-de-lectoure.com, but they were closed. I was so sad. Do you know this place? I want to buy some of their blue paint to paint the door on my greenhouse. Gorgeous bleus! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh you're talking about 'woad' blues which I believe are fugitive colors are they not?
DeleteYes you have to plan these visits in France - they have a million holidays etc.
If you happen to be in DC, you might check out Lou Lou's for blue accessories. Earlier this year I bought the best color of blue in sunglasses and a purse. My girlfriend found the nicest blue watch ever.
ReplyDeleteBlue purse, Blue dress...blue suede shoes AND she needs a bra. lol :)
ReplyDeleteEat Cake

DeleteAdore yr new glizzy Florida sunglasses
ReplyDeleteVERY IN!
Like the idea of spritzing with the blue ink!!!!!! Think I'll give it a go.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I love blue!
ReplyDeleteWow, quite a collection of shots!
I love that hotel.
Your last shot is the best, I think. I really like that one.....
Have a great holiday!
The glasses?
DeleteI like the smidge of blue jogger racing by...
Très joli!
ReplyDeleteI drive a light blue Vespa and my dog Bella wears light blue goggles. We should have been on exhibit!
ReplyDeleteAre they those 'Doggles' I showed previously?
DeleteWOW
You have certainly captured Yves Klein!

Now that it's summer, I cannot WAIT to go summer shopping! And one of the things on my list is a new pair of bright sandals - either in that exact shade of blue that you have in the first photo, or in a coral red.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, summer.......... :)

I just walked past that hotel the other day. It does look very inviting. Pure blue skies in Paris today!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color but not on pastries... I have only seen once a blue one, at Park Hyatt... A little bit weird !
ReplyDeleteBLue food is generally a no-no but Gerard Mulot does not obey the rules with a bleu macaron tower.
