You're the Rag to My DollAlice in Printemps Wonderland ~ Part I
One of my favorite things about working in the 9th arrondissement is my close proximity to Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, also known as Les Grands Magasins. However this can also be quite a dangerous neighborhood as I often find myself spending my lunch break browsing the beautiful goods of these two famous department stores, and from what I can see during my lunch time shopping I’m not the only working gal with this bad habit. When I can resist the temptation to go inside, I still enjoy Printemps’ stunning vitrines. To celebrate the expansion of the Printemps Laduree and the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Printemps‘ window design has fallen down the rabbit hole. In this first part of this two part post, fashion meets fine patisserie and furry friends…
I was so tempted to share all the photos of the vitrines with you in this post, but decided you will have to wait for part 2. The other half of this vitrine series features the designer’s windows, in which different fashion houses were invited to give their interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. I won’t keep you waiting too long though…check back later this week!
Hi! I’m so glad you stopped by & left a comment b/c I got to discover your gorgeous blog! When that first image popped up I knew I was going to love it. What an incredible window display. I had to really concentrate to decipher whether or not the rabbits were real or not! I’m off to go read more. And love the valentine’s party pics. How lovely.
Those are such beautiful tea pots. I wish I had a place to display such things.
This is too fabulous!!!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!
I can’t wait to tell my Alice obsessed friend, Kitty, about this post.
Believe me when I tell you…. she will go crazy with delight!
I love your blog, by the way, and am so happy I found you
What a fortunate young lady you are to be living this french adventure.
Ciao, a bientot
Therese
Absolutely loved tumbling down this rabbit hole! I hope this display is still up when I get to Paris.

The rabbits are real taxidermy rabbits! If you don’t know Deyrolle in Paris and their famous taxidermy fauna there is a great entry about it over at French Kissed…

This post is A~mazing! Just incredible. I am anxiously waiting for the March 5th release date of the movie, so exciting. These windows are so fantastic. I can’t wait for part two!

Great looking pictures, I’m glad I work near these shop windows too… They just look like if you had been the one who decorated them. You should send your article and pictures to the Printemps and Galerie Lafayette…
Many thanks for visiting my blog.
Must be like heaven working near and being able to go shopping in your lunch break, at Galeries Lafayette and Printemps.
Your photos are wonderful and I loved seeing the fabulous Alice in Wonderland display ~ thank you.
Look forward to Part 2 and the movie coming out.
Enjoy your week
Hugs

Nice photoset here Heleigh, really awesome detail throughout. Its good to see you are doing well. Hope you’re having a great time over there!
These are just glorious!!!!
Too much fun and a lot of creativty and you get to do this on your lunch? I would say you must feel like Alice in Wonderland. Thanks for the sweet comments and looking forward to part 2.
Wonderful windows… such a visual treat…I am hungry for my favorite Laduree macarons
I’m so happy that you’re in Paris and can share these marvelous vitrines with us! Well, that is not the one and only reason I am happy you are in Paris…I am happy for you! Merci, beaucoup.

You are awesome!!!

paris atelier sent us…..and if you really want some of those delicious cookies I just saw Parisienne Farmgirl post that she’s selling them now! yum!!
that movie will be truly amazing I’m sure…..and your styling looks a bit difficult with the teacups askew!
So glad I found your blog. It’s lovely! Love the window display. Is it a real rabbit? Can’t wait to see part two!
this is torture for me, the world’s biggest macaron lover!!!
How pretty! I love how they paired macarons with shoes! Two of my favorites
! Beautiful blog you have.
This is fantastic. But, the last shot of the rabbit might just give me nightmares….a little creepy, no?
Love your blog.
Sue

INCREDIBLE- Wow i am in love with these photos- if i worked nearby im sure i would wander there daily to see such an amazing display! My friend works in Harrods and has been telling me about their displays.. i wonder how they compare?! Macaroons are so delightful- i have seen their green apple special, and the fine china is beautiful.
