Retro hairstyles, makeup and fashion in sherbet shades of peach and pineapple at Galeries Lafayette, Paris. The elaborate holiday vitrines will soon give way to displays advertising the January sales.

Holy moly, don't you just want to dress up sometimes? I do. I think it would be fab to be able to put these cotton candies on my head, with some beads around my neck and some silky frocks and sparkly shoes.
I think no one who knows me would believe this, but I would.
I agree, as much as I loved the sorbet hair... the fantasy eye lashes were just as intriguing! You have me thinking Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot. You have got to see "Nine!" It's a glamorous movie, lacking in plot, but dance numbers and costumes are worth the ticket!
Wild sherbet hair! What fun you must have gazing into all these displays - thank you for taking us with you.
Wishing you a happy New Year filled with many wonders! xox
Gorgeous eyelashes too! Imagine trying to blink with those on? lol
These photos are so great, so YOU, love the reflected buildings as seems to be your trademark style. It seems as though we are really standing there with you. (I need to get a style, hmmm. Must think about that!)
I'm undecking my halls, and like the windows of Paris I'm revamping for January. I like a fresh start. Including blog wise, I'm rearranging the furniture over there too. I get restless, I can't help myself.
Cheers to you Tara! I raise my teacup and *tink* yours to the New Year! May you have the best year yet. Perhaps we'll walk the streets of Paris and take some photos together this year.

Tres chic! Tres retro! Tres COOL!
Thanks for window shopping opportunities in Paris! Would love to shop there before the holiday windows are down.

My eyelashes are inclined to suffer an inferiority complex now, lol! I've so enjoyed these vitrines, Tara - thank you!
