My Mother's heritage is French/Flemish and she always said, "Every woman needs a pair of red shoes and black lingerie." Guess it is still fashionable in France. Good one, VJ.
Chantal Tomas has exhibited in the textile museum, St Gall , Switzerland. I went especially to see it. It was smashing ! Well presented. But not a-lode to publish photos... So...
St Gall is well known all over the world for de lace material and many other beautiful for the Haute couture. The city is aswell beautiful.
As I had plane to make a shop window about * silk, cotton, wool, I had some samples. Went to Lyon to picture the old Jacquard machines.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

This one made me smile. Fun take on theme day :).
Now that's Style V.
Paris is the best place for this theme, good choice, V !
Only the French could have such a stylish mannequin in undies. Great eye as always for the little extra touches.
Love it!

There is much to be said for black lace.
Very suggestive picture for the theme day.
Love your take on this month's theme, great shot! :-)
After you took the picture, you went in and bought these fetching undies, right? :~}
