Have you also wondered why ALL pharmacies in Paris are green/verte?
Have you too found taking pictures of them addictive?
M. says they are green after La Croix Verte during World War I - assistents to la Croix Rouge. I used to always find chic reading glasses at this rue du Four pharmacie 75006.
Along with the plethora of boulangeries on every other street corner are the pharmacies. Parisiens are well provided for...
Of course most of the products are in matching greens, even hair stuff..
Have you ever tried Caudalie skin products extracted from grapes green or otherwise ? Excellent!
A GREEN girl in a pharmacie vitrine...
Green teeth not WHITE!
How convenient to have a pharmacie nextdoor to La Maison du Chocolat...
All the more reason to eat up your greens in Paris...
Then you can leave room for DEL-MON-TEL's green dome...
Cherchez la grande croix verte!If the pharmacie is closed, look on the door for another that is open (if you are in need).
BONJOUR LA CROIX VERTE!

I took this shot in October of Galeries Lafayette rather early Xmas tree...
The rest of the Paris Xmas window photos are THANKS to Anne Corrons of MesVitrines NYC.Please click on the photos to see more detail and immerse yourself in Paris vitrines!
MERCI ANNE!!!
First off Galeries Lafayette Rockette bears...
And their Mama Mia musical theme - Do not ask me what this has to do with xmas puleeze.
OTOH next door at Printemps the windows are truly magical.
I have no idea what's going on here but j'adore!
Clique and you tell me.
More mysteries...
MIAM!
Printemps does verte et rouge too
Let the soiree commence!
Chanel is sticking with a traditionally white snowy theme (of which there is plenty in Paris) and cutout doilies - tres femme blablabla
While Dior is thinking ahead and pushing post-Xmas cruise wear in their vitrines...hmmm
I'm all for Kenzo's Parisien biker yanking....
A slew of Parisien soiree-goers, perhaps over to...
Over to Repetto perhaps to get their dancing shoes?
So they can dance their way over to Jean-Paul Hevin for a portable Xmas tree of macarons non?!et merci encore! :)

Our Marilyn is hot hot hot in Paris right now.
The Parisien book shop vitrines are full of her...
True a new book, Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters is just out. But who knew the French would be so smitten? New York has not caught the bug so far...
Parisien hair salons are featuring...
Bottle blonde looks. Though I didn't see these dans la rue...
I did catch bottle-blonde Barbie advertising Chupa Chupas lollipops dans la rue...
When you walk into Galeries Lafayette you're bombarded with our Marilyn...
Stacks and stacks of the Aran sweaters she wore, are available in all colors...
Paris shop vitrine are full of Aran with added bits of fluff...
As bulky as the Aran sweater is, the French have added a belt :O
Aran for the kids too. *Note the classy cowl neck.
Are Parisiens going to break down and wear hats this winter?
It seems they are. Hats are IN.
As are Aran woolly scarves...
Aran sweaters have always been the domain of l'homme for sure...
Certainement they hide a multitude of sins, especially if you've visited the Salon du Chocolat recently...ahem
Walzing around Montmartre with Grace, we discovered this tiny beauty spa called 'Marilyn'. 
Who knew the French spell Marilyn differently? i.e. Marylyn, so this is definitely an homage to our MM.
Move over BB!
The New York Times glommed onto Marilyn Monroe's fragment of a Thanksgiving stuffing recipe. After much testing, they deemed it quite excellent! Who knew our Marilyn was an interesting cook in the kitchen to boot?
Bien sur, Paris dogs don't give a woof about what anyone is reading or wearing. But I bet there's an Aran doggie coat out there waiting for an au courant Parisien chien...BONJOUR MARILYN!!!

Imagine you're standing in front of Bergdorf Goodman's windows on 5th Avenue.The display team has been collecting vintage mannequins for 6 years...
Here is their collection in all it's past glory...
The old heads are so much more intriguing than the new...
They have such stories to tell, so evocative...
In San Francisco, my friend, Rebecca Martinez was bidding on these same heads on eBay. They kept getting away from her...finally she contacted the winning bidder (Bergdorfs) and they arranged to send her heads to photograph. Enfin her "Challanged Beauty" exhibit in BG's windows on now. 
There is something poetic about these is there not..?
Reminiscent of Wallis Simpson in Galignani's window in Paris...
This BG mannequin reminds me of...
Tilda Swinden in I AM LOVE - Did you see it yet? You must.
Tilda is in Bergdorf's
again and again...
Galerie Lafayette still uses real faces...
An old/new mannequin in Paris...
you got designer shades,just to hide your face and
you wear them around like
you're cooler than me.
and you never say hey,
or remember my name.
its probably cuz,
you think you're cooler than me.
