Sunday night, the fashion world took over Place Vend么me in Paris for the 3rd edition of Vogue World, a runway experience so extravagant it boasts 100s of looks & multiple performances. But I can not resist showing you outtakes Very celebratory for the Paris Olympics bien sur.
Tennis star Venus Williams wearing a gown made of recycled tennis 馃幘 bags Aya Nakamura was singing 馃幍
3 guesses who was showing everything comme d’habitude. Have become de rigueur since the Waiters Race. French waiters are IN! Natalia was there of course, looking understated. Not looking understated Ashley Park. Where was Emily(EIP)? High platform sandals are IN. Now I’m running 馃弮♀️ to meet Solli. Serenity now. Our rosy theme non-alcoholic drinks.
First course, tomates anciennes et Burrata.(22€) Main: a safran bouillabaisse with poisson rouget.(34€) Dessert - soupe de fraise 馃崜 for Bear 馃惢 (16€) The lunch was leger/light, flavorful. A delight. Strawberry 馃崜 Pavlova for Solli. The thump, thump of rock music is coming from the runway. 2-3 fashion shows are taking place daily in the hotel. The chic & not so chic troupe in for a bite after. Roses 馃尮 are IN this Summer. Buckets of flowers in Guerlain’s perfume window. On rue Saint Honor茅, design students are shooting any model they can catch…
Wasn't there either but seen so many images of it all. Bummed since hubby works on Place Vend么me and so it would've been great to see it from his office! What a spectacle! Glad to see your vie en rose - beautiful paintings, Carol x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea Jill ! CAROLG
DeleteWow! No one can monter un spectacle like the French…on the Place Vend么me no less! Hermes ‘it girls’ riding horses around the place was pretty spectaculaire!! Not as spectacular as your roses though. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteClips of this extravagant event have been all over the place! Only in Paris. I like your sketch.
ReplyDeleteYou are ahead of moi GA ! Only caught it this morning ! CAROLG
DeleteReally, no one puts on a spectacular like the French…and on the Place Vend么me no less! I saw an image of two ‘it girls’ modeling for Hermes as they rode horses around the Place. Thanks for all the photos. Love your roses! ❤️
ReplyDeleteYes I was going to show the riders 馃悗 CAROLG
DeleteMessage:Thank you Carol for your beautiful art and fantastic idea of sending out as letters from Paris 馃椉馃嚝馃嚪 perfect gifts for my French loving friend and myself I will be ordering again soon L
ReplyDeleteAs always beautiful post. I really enjoy your art, you are so gifted, I have to say that I am almost jealous, I like to draw but I don't have your talent.
ReplyDeletePractice drawing ✍️ darling, La Parisienne 馃憤 just like the piano 馃幑 or you get rusty CAROLG
DeletePractice for sure is important, but with 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a way too big house to take care, I feel overwhelmed.
DeleteI will help out with 1 cat + 1 dog & some le莽ons. OK?CAROLG
DeleteThank you for your offer, unfortunately, I live in California.
Deleteexcellent illustrations Kirk
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to receiving your beautiful Rose, Carol! Merci. S
ReplyDeleteCarol, I don't know if you've been over lately, but food/restaurant prices are so very high. We aren't eating out much at all. So I was wondering about the prices for your lunch. Is that normal or a special day? Just curious. Love you! Judy
ReplyDeleteI thought the menu prices were reasonable for a luxury hotel lunch in a beautiful setting.
DeleteFood prices in Paris are way less than the states. Visit any march茅. And If you go late, as I do..everything is on sale! 1-2€ for as much as you can carry. Usually I do not want 6 fennels!!馃槂
Summer produce is from South of France or Spain mostly.
By the way our lunch was ‘on the house’ since Solli was shooting the courses.
Your roses are so lovely I felt I could almost smell them. CM
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog so very much. M.
