0 Red Shoes

 Red shoes.
What's not to love?
These are my Repetto red shoes (with sequins not dots Amy). I 'won' them (110€ instead of 180€) in Galeries Lafayette lower shoe department the same day I won a full box of Pierre Herme macarons!
TOP O' THE WORLD!
 Red shoes in Paris attract me like a magnet.
 I have way too many pictures of them.
 Especially ballerinas.
 Red does add spice to life.
 It's an upper for sure.
 Like the red raspberry on Jean-Paul Hevin's chocolat framboise.
 A touch of red goes a long way. I've no idea what these mini bebe bottles are for by SOUTH PIGALLE. Do you?
 Love this red lunette sign.
 And the red napkin when M. made me lunch. Note the red radis, red beets, red table cloth. Who doesn't love red?
 A wolf clasps a red heart in Le Loup Qui Cherchait Une Amoureuse. Wolves can be sweet...Who knew?
 Can one wear too much red?
In Paris, evidently not...
 If you should decide to break the bank and buy some red Repettos, for Gawd's sake get the accompanying shopping bag.
I got yelled at by French Girl,
'What?!
You bought the shoes and left the bag?
There are so many uses for such a bag!!'
Do we love red shoes because we wore red Mary Janes as a kid? Or else longed to wear them..?

0 Le Luco

 'Le Luco' is the nickname for the Luxembourg Jardins.
When I saw ex-pat Lindsey Tramuta of Lost in Cheeseland's recent Luco post, I thought, me too, me too!
 What to wear in Luco on Sunday?
The obligatory striped shirt
A short ruffled piquet skirt
 "Take off the red shoes", Moira Shearer said at the end of the film.
 Le Luco strollers are not snoozing...
 Orientation maps of Luco are everywhere.
 And most helpful.
 Smiling is allowed in Paris (on Sundays only).
 Tai Chi is always allowed.
 As is jogging in Paris.
crunch...crunch...crunch
 Lounging is more prevalent.
 Why ever is a bench called a 'un banc'?
What do you call a bank?
 Depart le Luco out the (west or east?) gate - Dalloyau awaits you with au bon gouter at 2, Pl Edmond Rostand 75006
I hope you all had a JOYEUSES PAQUES!
I'm off to get my red Repettos resoled for my trip.

0 Mad About Macarons

Just as Repetto has 300-500 different colored ballerina slippers... French Girl has on hand an endless array of chocolate bar flavors... That's how I discovered her exotic and irresistable Chocolat Citron Gingimbre - I am forever addicted... French Flavor Spoons, Watercolor, 9" x 11"

This past weekend, while I was painting in bed, BEAR was busy reading my new book, Mad About Macarons, full of exotic flavors up the whazoo...
Scottish author Jill Colonna lives in Paris for 20+ years and she's made it her mission to help the rest of the world make Parisien macarons...
Jill lets her imagination run wild with macaron possibilities - well that's what BEAR says.
 Jill has a macaron forum where she answers all your questions directly.
I've never seen so many exclamations of macaron success first time round, right off the bat!
I would love to know if it's possible to make macarons without a Kitchen Aid? Meanwhile I'll admire her Caramel Macaron 'Tatin'-style vicariously...

0 Paris Promenade

What are YOU doing this Labor Day week-end?
Shall we pretend we're in Paris...
And go for a walk/promenade?
Paris Mommy doing 'The Paris Walk'
*Note the long stride and no break at the knee...
Meandering around high heels might be a stretch since Jean-Paul Goude designed them...
Oh the other hand (or foot) shop till you drop?
Oui bien sur!
Merci Soledad for the wonderful illo...
Wanna run to work?
Wait it's Labor Day when we celebrate not working.
Still if it put me in Paris I would RUN!
The march of the poets on the left bank.
I'm game. Are you?
Do you jog?
I do not. But I'm ready if it takes me to les jardins Tuilleries...
'Le dejeuner sur l'herbe' is more my style...
Or a Paris cafe?
Do you love to read maps in Paris? I do....sigh
Shall we just hang out..?
They say it's a good exercise to put yourself in another's shoes.
Oui, YES SVP!
What do they say about browsing Paris pastry shop vitrines..?
JUST DO IT!
If you hear of a rent-a-dog-for-a-walk agency in Paris?
Do tell.
BONNE WEEK-END PBers!!!
