Parisienne Pots of Pretty

Limited-edition Bourjois Rendez-Vous a Paris Single Eyeshadow Pots, $19 and Blush Pots tilt their dainty little lids to the brand's French heritage (Bourjois was initially used by French actresses in the mid-nineteenth century). Delightfully decorated with vintage images of Paris, true make up junkies will want all of them (in my opinion it's what's on the outside in this case).

Stylish Ladurée of Paris

 

Ladurée is a luxury brand of cakes and  pastries, known for the double layered macaron, fifteen thousand of which are sold every day.

 

Ladurée made the pastries for the film Marie Antoinette, directed by Sofia Coppola; its famous macarons can be seen in a scene between Marie-Antoinette and Ambassador Mercy.

The flagship tea rooms are located on Ladurée Champs Elysées and there are numerous locations across France and worldwide.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am besotted with the look of the brand, it is so delightfully french, exquisitely sweet, and so chic.

Visit Ladurée on the most beautiful avenue in the world, Ladurée creates famous macaroons, desserts, pastries and other desserts. Decor is designed by Jacques Garcia

Coco Cocoon - Lily Allen

No self-respecting style or design blog would be complete without a mention of this simply tres chic campaign by Chanel. Lily Allen, in my opinion is perfectly suited to a modern day Holly Golightly, albeit a slightly more street-smart version. Truman Capote would approve.

Lily Allen is the face of Chanel’s “Coco Cocoon” Line: the stylish British singer has been chosen by Chanel to head the campaign with bags from their new line of cushioned bags.

Styles in this new range include a shopping bag, bowling bag, suit bag and a trolley bag, in fabrications of nylon or lambskin and colour options of black, beige, chocolate, burgundy, taupe, grey, gold and red! Priced from $1980

Available now in CHANEL boutiques.
