What is it that makes Paris so seductive, alluring, and romantic? I've never been but I can imagine the glamour mixed with history. I can see baroque architecture, and neo classical design, smell the pastries and nearly hear the call of local vendors and boutique shop keepers. How 'bout you? Do you know Paris? I love this soft feminine palette grounded with gray and other blushing neutrals and then highlighted with a few sparkling metallic details.
The first three images are from No. 21 a shop and blog based out of Somerset, UK. It was the inspiration for this post. Im excited to see they are soon opening an online store version of their unique vintage, antique and architectural items.

These images ooze chic. There's something about the palette that reminds you that Paris is an industrialized city. It's like the pastels are coated in a light haze and worn perfectly with age.

what an amazing palette you've come up with Heather... its gorgeous and very inspiring. I think it really represents Parisian style in a very, very honest and chic way.
