Beaucoup d'argent !

 I have stepped into Alexa's boutique at Place des Vosges many times over the years. We've never really made friends, but he's always allowed me to wander around and photograph his elegant, over the top ballgowns that he designs and makes right there. He usually turns away and reads his phone and basically ignores me.  I"m OK with that. Now those bracelets... j'aie envie!!!

 P.A.R.O.S.H at the Palais Royal, always an eclectic mix. I love Paris!

L'envie bracelet

Those of you that know me well, know that I always wear two silver bracelets, sometimes more.  When I have visited Alexis in his couture shop in the Marais, I can't take my eyes off this armload he wears.  He's an interesting man.  Although he has never been rude, and always allowed me to poke around and shoot his fabulous evening gowns, he's always a bit blasé,  as if he has other things to do.  Peut-être très français?

Très chic!

I've been haunting Alexis, near Place des Vosges for years.  His evening wear creations are over the top and I never cease to be amazed at his window.  Today if you look carefully, you can see the designer himself inside. 

And to make the weekend even brighter, hop  on over to my sweet Shell Sherree's blog and see her whimsical illo using one of my Paris photos as her inspiration right here.
