Do you want something that YOU really can takeaway from Paris Couture Fashion Week? Red Lipstick, it is!

We all dream about haute couture, but few, very few, of us can ever get close to it.

But, by way of a little beautiful people watching from the Spring/Summer 2013 Haute Couture collections in Paris, there is ONE thing that we can all take away. At least from watching the glammed up attendees.

A blast of red lipstick!

 A very strong red lip, in all the

Looks like showgirl costumes to me- Musée des Arts Forains, Paris fantasy costume museum

The Musée des Arts Forains, the Museum of Fairground Art, is only open to the public once a

Galeries Lafayette Paris Holiday Windows Loves Louis Vuitton

Retail Remedy: Our tour of Paris holiday windows continues with Galeries Lafayette, which kinda sorta reminds us of a not quite as elaborate version of Bergdorf Goodman’s New York windows from a few season’s back.
