Paris’ Flower Frenzy

It all started with the grand opening of the Hotel Le Bristol‘s new brasserie, 114 Faubourg, decorated with vibrant orange walls and photographer Serge Anton‘s giant colorful dahlias (backlit for that extra wow-factor)…

    I think Paris is always blossoming and burgeoning with flowers!
    Years ago, we stayed at a cousins apartment and she sent us flowers that looked as though they were arranged with a tweezer, everything was perfect!

    Parisian flair is always so perfectly polished with or without any other element. The colors in bright bloom here are just an over the top, gorgeous fun aspect to a country who’s always en vogue. I love, love, love it all. That Galliano collection is amazing work! And the Moschino is just adorable 🙂 XO, Kelly

    I’m crazy for those Murakami Daisies! We even have them as throw pillows on my girls beds!
    Have a great weekend!

    I love these bright botanicals especially with winter on the horizon. And with a day with temperatures like we have today you can almost believe its still summer!

    Looks like along with other 60’s trends, flower power is back also. Fun post!

    Wonderful, upbeat images! The fashions are just as stunning as the interiors.

    Such beautiful images, the chandaliers are breathtaking.

    This Monday I am still feeling tired. I’ve been up for an hour and a half, but I’m just getting to my coffee now and the weather is blah. Dull, cool and damp. But I’m sure I will feel much better once I am actually doing something!! 🙂
