Laduree X Kerrie Hess Collection

Laduree X Kerrie Hess Macarons // Talking Tables Mini Cake Domes // Diptyque Candles 

I have the sweetest tooth and I find it had to pass a macaron by, there's just something about them that makes them so aesthetically pleasing and irresistible (which is why I had to photograph these hehe). I always love to stop by Laduree when I'm in London and gaze at the window displays and sweet treats. 

They still had some of these adorable Kerrie Hess boxes left, so I decided to treat myself to some macarons! I love Kerrie's illustrations and I love keeping Laduree macaron boxes to store everything from twine and ribbons to my jewels in them, so this seemed like a perfect way to add one of Kerrie's beautiful designs into my home! 

I received these mini cake domes as a birthday gift, you may have spotted them in my Flamingo Party Post, but they couldn't be more perfect for holding a macaron in if they tried! The 'Eat Me' tags are the perfect finishing touch, but you don't have to tell me to eat a macaron, these ones didn't last long at all!

My new blogging goal is to try and blog every other week, and so far I have been sticking to it. There might not be any new posts up next week but I have more in the pipe line for the week after including my second birthday dress (see a sneak peek here and it's on sale). This weekend I am off to London again for a Hen Weekend, I'm actually looking forward to having a weekend soon where I can just sleep in and relax, but I know that this weekend is going to be packed full of celebrations and fun! Happy Weekend!

Winter Wonderland 2013

On my week off I made my now annual trip to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I always feel so festive after a trip to London in December to see all the sparkling lights! This year the windows at Harrods were all themed on a train, and what a fabulous train it was! There was glitter and gold and sparkle everywhere, I mean a tea party with gold macarons, where was my invite? The Mulberry windows at Harrods were gorgeous too filled with lots of luxurious goodies and cute furry friends! I also made a stop by the new J Crew store, it was heaven in there, it was probably a good thing I didn't have too long to spend in there! Do you have any things you like to do every December?

I can't believe my week off from work is coming to an end already, it's flown by. I have made sure to do lots of relaxing and that has involved watching lots of Christmas films and eating mince pies (that I baked). I also went to London yesterday, which was lovely as always just a little bit cold and my train may have been delayed and then cancelled on the way back but I made it home eventually! 

Don't forget to enter my give-away for a print from the SS Print Shop here. have a wonderful weekend!

How is everyone liking the new blog design? I've also finally given my blog a Facebook page (here) so come and say hi there too!
