The girls are getting ready to rejoin their dolly friends and family across the ocean. But before they leave, they wanted to take you on a short tour of Paris to view the Christmas sights of the city. We've taken the opportunity to focus on another source of style inspiration....ordinary, everyday Parisians!!!

| Iman loved the look of a white lace skirt worn with black sweater & tights worn by a passer-by on Avenue Montaigne. |
This post is not a tutorial, but rather, a styling session using many of the basic patterns already featured on this sight. In a nutshell, the major trends dominating Paris streets consists of long, leggy looks thanks to skinny jeans and opaque tights, hooded parkas, fur vests and scarves as well as boots: knee length, short booties and Uggs. Though it's not yet on the streets, sequins will be a big trend during the holidays especially when worn "casually" under sweaters.

| Fur vests and Uggs (boots) are big on the streets of Paris. Here Jerry strolls through Place Vendome, the high fashion jewelry district. |
But this post is not really one of words.... It's all about my dolls in on the streets at Christmastime.

| Genny, clad in a hooded, quilted parka, leggings and knee high boots, stops to admire an extravagant dollhouse in the window of Pain d'Epice, our favorite shop for miniatures. |
 |
| Iman stopped by Au Printemps Department store to admire its Christmas windows. |
 |
| Each set of windows are sponsored by a different fashion company. These windows are by Lancôme cosmetics. |

| It's like springtime at Christmas in a terrifically fantasy setting! |
 |
| Christian Louboutin's windows are filled with dancing show-dolls kicking up their legs. |
 |
| In the Burberry windows, all of the wooden dolls here are dressed in their famous trench coats and those famous plaid scarves! |
 |
| The dolls in the Sonia Rykiel (fashion designer) windows are having such a good time, dancing and strutting their stuff. |

| Meanwhile on the other side of town, Barbara takes a style note from the Dolce&Gabbana window display. |
 |
| On the Avenue Montaigne, the high fashion district of Paris, Billie shows off the coolest new way to wear sequins...under a sweater and worn with boots. |
 |
| Donyale found more dolls and stuffed animals in the windows at the department store, BHV. Their theme for this year is distinctly British! |
 |
| Stopping for a pastry, Jerry poses in front of Russian tea room, Pouchkine with its very decorative store front. |

Here at the Carrousel du Louvre, the glittery decorations are on the inside of the mall. Stopping to admire the lights, Iman wears a blazer, tights and boots accessorized with a fur scarf and fringed handbag.
