Decorations of All Sorts

Can you see me?

Today we went to the Les Arts Decoratics (the museum of decorative arts)  to see the lavish private collection of Ralph Lauren's cars as well as ornate jewelry, unique paintings, and chairs chairs chairs. While photo taking was not allowed at the car exhibit, I was able to sneak a couple (so don't tell). We also went to the Musee d'Orsay to view some Cezanne and Manet as well as many other artists. Unfortunately picture taking was also not allowed however the people attending the museums were decked out in their Parisian best, making for some excellent street style photos. 


Such elaborate jewelry








 


Ralph Lauren only owns 14 Ferrari's 







A menagerie of glass, ceramic, porcelain, and plastic animals could be found throughout the museums.

-That sucks

One of a kind paintings were also on display in the decorative arts museum.







First Love

Trophy Wives

The Youth

 
A one of a kind Lacoste shirt


Flying lightbulbs can change themselves


Some elaborate knick-knacks





And then there were the chairs





 




 



These two chairs were in the window of a store but would have fit right into the collection

 

Can't be late with clocks like these


  


These dresses dotted the streets of Paris

  

  Brown accented these looks

    


 Mustard yellow was the perfect neutral color to be paired with green pants or a pink scarf

  



As usual, orange dominated the streets

  

    

 

 

This darker lavender could be seen underneath a blue sweater or just a subtle touch of color on the shoulder of a dress

 

And it wouldn't be Paris unless someone was wearing red or pink pants



 

      

  


 

And surprisingly, blue pants as well as blue patterned dresses and blazers were seen

 

  

  

   

  

And nothing is a better shade from the sun than a large, floppy brimmed straw hat

 

 

   

Patterned dresses in playful prints falling above the knee could be seen
