"To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, colour, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts."
Charles Baudelaire, who lived in Le Marais in the 19th century.

Many more photographs to come in the following posts, both of Paris and my clothes. We had a magical trip, revisiting old haunts of mine (I lived there at the age of 21), and discovering many lovely new ones too. I'm looking forward to catching up with your blogs this week, thanks so much for your kind comments on my last post, I will reply when I can in the next few days.
I've just managed to be a part of Visible Monday, posting this at the 11th hour! Visible Monday is hosted by the lovely Patti from www.notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.co.uk, click on the

Hello Emalina. It is my first visit here via Not Dead Yet Style. Such an enchanting mix of photography, style, and prose. I look forward to following.

Ah thanks Lynn, I love your style too! Looks like we've both gone Cloche crazy, great minds think alike eh!
DeleteIt's been ages since I was last in Paris (discounting long haul airport stopovers) and I'm dying to go back after seeing your gorgeous pictures. That red dress stands out a mile despite all the eye candy behind it! x
ReplyDeleteGosh that's really saying something, thanks Vix! Paris is such a beautiful city isn't it, I've come back feeling wonderfully refreshed reinvigorated even though we only spent a short time there. I'm loving the succession of gorgeous dresses you've been wearing in your last posts, particularly that Lady Monaco catsuit, wowzers!
DeleteOoh, that's so lovely! I've never been but I'd love to, and to Venice...before it sinks :(
ReplyDeleteYou must go :) Both Paris and Venice are incredible, full of beautiful architecture and creativity. Paris will always have a special place in my heart, I have such fond memories of my time living there.
Deletereally love that red dress! And I definitely would love travelling to venice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I chose it because it was glam but practical and easy to wear, which was just what I needed as we were walking day and night all around Paris - high heels would not have cut it!
DeleteVenice is incredible, particularly out of season when the tourists have gone home!
Ooh wow what a lady! :) I want to visit Paris someday..!
ReplyDeleteYou must, it's a magical place. Plus they have some great Irish bars in the Latin Quarter :)
DeleteYou have a very beautiful blog. I love the red dress and hat and your gorgeous photography. So happy to have found you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to have found you too! Thanks so much for your kind words about my blog. Looking forward to keeping in touch.
DeleteSo much Eye Candy I'm overdosed... Blissfully so!!!
