Paris, Je t’aime

Paris has been on my mind so much in the last few days.  I, like the rest of the world, am grieving, so I am honoring Paris in the best way I know how.  The coat is made from a fabric featuring a vintage map of Paris in tones of sepia and cream with accents of rose pink and French blue.  The coat is fully lined in French blue metallic silk.  Rose pearls act as buttons and a vintage inspired brooch of the Eiffel Towers ornaments the shawl collar.

The accompanying dress is made from rose pink silk with a cream lace overlay.  An extravagant flower hat is the perfect finishing touch.
