Little sneak-peak of the Printemps x Dior Christmas windows!
And pile of meat for lunch before shopping, naturally.
Here she comes! I’m here Marion, kiss me.

I’m sorry if lately it’s just been Paris this and Paris that, but let’s be honest, you can’t really blame me, can you. Same way you can’t blame me for sneaking out of bed in the middle of the night to eat Nutella out of the jar while burning up the refrigerator lightbulb, which is pretty much always. It’s universal magic, we all know that. And seeing that my life is spectacularly, extra, extra ordinary (mind the gap), a quick trip to Printemps in Paris with Kit for an early taste of Christmas should no doubt be considered, extraordinary. Especially when it includes sparkling windows and a whole world of Dior behind a sheet of glass. Glass of course, makes this magical world much easier to reach than 1) the thick wardrobe doors of Narnia, or 2) a brick column to Platform 9¾ – technically at least. Plus I bet that window smells like Miss Dior from the inside and actually full of Helium gas that’s leaked out from the balloons. Squeakiddy-squeak-squeak, sang the dolls.
Thank you Ykone & Printemps for having us! (See last year’s mini-Karl domination in Printemps x Chanel windows)
christmas is near here!
love the decor

Ahh Shini, j’adore ça!
No amount of Paris is too much Paris, in my opinion. Keep it comin’.
Your posts really inspire me. To be honest, more than the pictures, its what you have to say. You’ve got a very realistic take on everything and I know I’m going to sound uber cheesy when I say this, but its a breath of fresh air.
Wow, these window displays are impeccable! No one does fashion better than the Parisians

Beautiful images. And by the way…Paris is always a good idea!
Too freaking beautiful Shini, I love all the flashes of red AND all the pretty shots of Printemps!
These are some really magical photos and they make me want to go straight back to Paris. I love your outfit too.

I follow park and cube for years now, there should be no surprises by now, and yet you still manage to make my jaw drop. ;)
So luxe! Love your whole outfit Shini :)

It’s magic! The Christmas season is already upon us, and I’m still having a hard time believing it’s November~ Oh how time flies.
Wonderful photos, thank you so much for sharing!

I’m in love with your olive silk shirt, and the absolute romantic beauty of these shots. I haven’t been down to printemps yet to check out the decorations, but it looks like a visit is very much in order.
Beautiful pictures as always, that food looks delicious . Also love the dior theme windows, especially the hanging rose/paper things.
AAWWW so purdy. It doesn’t feel at all christmas-y in Hong Kong. So lucky you got a good oggle at Marion!
When are you and kit coming to HKers AHEM?
Once I get meself a sugah daddy, which is proving to be quite difficult with me being married and such. BAH HUMBUG
This looks like such a dreamy trip Shini. I always love seeing your photos from when you get to travel.
p.s. your life is so not ordinary in the slightest.
Absolutely perfect! Pictures like from farirytale :) Great style, indeed ;)
Beautiful photos! Like the little dolls!

I had been to Paris, the most beautiful city in the world (others will contest this for sure), and surely was dazzled, bedazzled, and awed by the Printemps displays. Every window had a presentation that was just jaw-dropping that I literally spend good time checking each and every one of them. Loved the Mama-Mia window back then in November of 2010. Seeing your pictures, the Dior displays looks fabulous!
A truly magical post.
