WHAT WOULD BE SAINT VALENTINE'S WITHOUT PETAL WORDS ?

All of us Girls are already fantasizing on the flowers, the huge "uncarryable" bouquet that our Sweetheart will hand out on Monday night.

By now, you must have understood that all those posts at the moment all very much on Saint Valentin's turf are an easy way to get a message through to our Loved ones; just let the computer open on my blog !!!!

So, after those crazy and sensual pictures of the finest Parisian lingerie, let's venture on Paris best florists territory and meet the Star of Floral Design Power, Jeff LEATHAM.


                                                             LACHAUME :

White lilies with stems the size of Russian top model daddy long legs, fiery red roses as eye catching as Louboutin skyscraper's shoe soles.
Motto : Excellence. There's nothing more easy than just one word; that one : Excellence !
LACHAUME is "Maître Fleuriste" since 1845, if you please. The pink marble, rock garden and frescoed boutique stands proudly on rue Royale.
It's serious flowers. You're in plain drama, this is a major engagement evening.

                                                                       MOULIE :

Extraordinary flower arrangements giving life to all the ministry palaces and embassies in Paris; so, let's follow them, they must be good judges. Can't be because they give them a mega discount !
Been in the business since 1870.
Motto : " A bouquet is always a personal affair."






                                                                  ERIC CHAUVIN :

the poetic interpretor of your tastes, colours and emotions.
Motto : unusual.

                                                            CHRISTIAN TORTU :
creator of Floral Haute Couture notably for the Chanel and Céline fashion show podiums .
Motto : sculptor.
As a kid, poking his nose in the radishes and lettuce of his father's vegetable garden, he learnt everything regarding plants. 
Later on, he strongly disliked the fact that Paris florists treated flowers like dead objects : he angrily threw away the plastic wrap and the classic ribbon to embrace his darling stems with kraft paper, twisted branches and exotic foliage.

                                                 AND THE OSCAR GOES TO :
                                                         JEFF LEATHAM !
Artistic Director of the Four Seasons George V in Paris, Jeff LEATHAM is a total designer.
Motto : Bold statements with shape, color and simplicity to create a dramatic effect.

Just a mere 17 000 flowers each day at the George V ....
Almost home !

SEXY , 4 LETTERS BUT A WORLD ... THE ONE OF DREAMS, OF DESIRE, OF FANTASM .

What better time to evoke the sexy subject of LINGERIE ?

All the most fatales of French Lingerie entrepreneurs were this week end in Madame Figaro for an almost special number on LINGERIE.

THE GODDESS :
CHANTAL THOMASS ; all pink and black, all boudoir princess


And totally subversive

"Malicious", "Unthinkable"," Encens Me"



And a pinch of wit




THE ENCHANTERESS :
VANNINA VESPERINI



Remember that picture ? Do you recognize her ?
No other than Ines de la Fressange in her micro mini butt,  micro mini covered by a few nano microns of lace and silk.
Well, the traitor to us all is not Inès but VANNINA VESPERINI !


That's more than enough publicity for the ENCHANTERESS of us all !!




THE FROU FROU VAMP :
FIFI CHACHNIL




Rather sweet and young girly

And totally tragic

on that  parisian top floor where the maids used to have their rooms.


Her idea of Saint Valentine's ?



SHE WEARS "DESIRE" 
 : SABBIA ROSA



 
The sweetness, the flavours and the spicy colours of the Orient

GLAMOUROUS FEMINITY  :
LES FOLIES D'ELODIE



Feline, lacy.


SOBRIETY AND DISTINCTION :
LA PERLA



NUDE URBAN GLORY  :
 ERES


No frills for a very classy evening....

PROVOCATIVE ? REALLY ? :
AGENT PROVOCATEUR


Dangerously sexy and provocative ?


All yours ! Straight in the eye !



AND THE OSCAR GOES TO :
VICTORIA'S SECRET !

Tempting, teasing, thrilling.

LET'S CELEBRATE SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY !

RED .
Make your own little quest : Find one woman who doesn't like RED .

SAINT VALENTINE'S DAY.
Make you own little test : find a woman who doesn't care for SAINT VALENTINE.

Women like to celebrate, women like to be pampered.

An exotic version of Saint Valentine's day; maybe a little harder to plan !


This is the one I prefer in fact. Simple and yet so truthfull.

A few loving tips for Saint Vanlentine's day :
- On waking up, smack your bathroom mirror with your red lips ; He will understand .


- Cook hearted shaped pancakes and dab them with red strawberry jam and pour Him a glass of red pomelo juice. Coffee can't be red, so bad.

- During the day, send Him an e-mail with a red lettered message, stick to simple words which say it all.

- You have drawn a red heart with a red lipstick around your front door's  key hole.
On His turning the key , you greet  Him with a red martini , all clad in red with red nail polish on.


You have an envelope in hand. Looking right in His eyes, you hand it over.
 He opens it and it says :


" 7.45 pm
Port Henri IV "
