Lanvin February Windows (Paris, France) & Awards

Lanvin's theme for February revolved around love - perhaps fitting for the month that includes Valentine's Day. But that was probably more of a coincidence, as the fashion house has been busy promoting it's 'Blanche' range in various department stores the past few weeks. And what better way to show off the beautiful white dresses than to give window shoppers a cute and whimsical wedding display, complete with speech bubbles and dramatic poses. What makes these windows even more charming, is the collaboration with Vespa, who provided scooters and a mini van. Considering it takes some girls up to two years to plan their nuptials (I've never understood this), I think Lanvin did pretty well organizing a mannequin wedding within two working days...

For anyone who's missed previous Lanvin windows - you can check them out here.

Lanvin Homme

Not sure why he's calling the other guy 'Mary'...

Helmets come courtesy of Vespa as well and all scooters are adorned with 'Just Married'.

Speech bubble: 'Oh Lanvin!'.

The two mannequins were located on a rotating disc on top of the illustrated cake.

Lanvin Femme

Main window, incl. a few detail shots. A wind machine was on, to allow the veil (left image) to flutter in the breeze.

I first thought this was a full mannequin, but only found a pair of legs dressed in a skirt...

So much cooler than being driven in a limo...

Not exactly a wedding or engagement ring, but I'd take it as well!

In the spirit of love and all things nice, I received a few awards in the past few months, which I keep forgetting to post. Apologies it took so long, but better late than never!

Starting off, I received a Glamorous Blog Award from the ever so stylish Hanh from Life In Travel:

The lovely Nina from Ballerina's Closet Obsession gave me the One Lovely Blog Award:

And this Kreativ Blogger Award came from the wonderful F from The Very Subjective:

I'd like to share these three awards with all my readers and fellow bloggers, as I do find it hard to pick just a few glamorous, creative and lovely blogs, considering all of you fit this criteria. Thank you to all for these awards!

Last but not least, the fabulous Trendy Fashionista handed me the Happy 101 award, which comes with a tag. Again, thank you for this award!

The tag requires me to make a list of 10 things that make me happy, so here we go:

1. Sunny warm weather. Spring/Summer I miss you. Please come now.
2. Freshly brewed coffee.
   
3. The scent of jasmine.
4. Scarves - anything from silk to cashmere.
5. My laptop - (a Mac of course). The most well behaved machinery I own.
   
6. When there are no lines at the supermarket cash desks.
   
7. Chocolate, caramel and anything sweet (fruit doesn't count).
8. Leisurely walks through the city or country side.
9. Shoes (you knew this was coming).
10. Finding an item I've coveted at a huge discount.
    

I'd like to pass on this award + tag to the following fantastic blogs (in no particular order):

• Inspiration in Italy
• Couture Millinery Atelier
• Fashion Pearls of Wisdom
• Susu Paris Chic
• Draffin Bears
• Thirty Something Style
