R comme Ruban

 More serendipity today.

 Fauchon sent me a pink ribboned love note.

 What would life be like without champagne, macarons,



Chocolates.

 And French ribbon/ruban!

 Fauchon even swathed a charlotte russe in extra wide pink ribbon.

 The French have always been deeply attached to their ribbons, no pun intended.

 Ribbons bring a sense of closure especially on chocolate boxes.

 The French may even have invented ribbons/les rubans

 I plan to go down to Ribbon City, St. Etienne this trip

 (Photo c/o le petit coquin)

To see how they are made. Have you been?

French friends put a picture of their adorable newborn on Facebook.

I added the pink ribbon...

French Bows

The French own the bow
They even invented ribbon!

Is wearing a bow at your back the same as having the wind at your back?
When I shot the pink trench above, the owner of Anne Elisabeth came out to check on me...was I going to steal her 'bow'?
Wearing bows at the neck goes way back and why not at the neck of your perfume like Annik Goutal does here?
YSL puts bows going down the front of this cocoon.
Don't miss the YSL show if you're in Paris!

Bows on your socks?  Sure why not?

The musee des Arts decoratif design shop puts a bow on your rain boot.

Lanvin ties a ruban in your hair

Marc Jacobs too

Painted on the walls, bien sur at Musee Carnavalet.Sonia is not just Queen of sweaters and queen of stripes, she is also queen of bows

Eat what's inside the bow, not the bow please.

“May the wind bow always be on your back and the sun upon your face and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.”
