Ladurée X Patou - Galeries Lafayette

 
Summer has arrived early in Paris 

(aside from the hamburger-sized hail stones that landed on us mid-afternoon yesterday). 🆘 I was too shocked to take picture 📸 
Waltzing through Galeries Lafayette on Friday for a browse
I noticed a new collaboration with patisserie Ladurée through 21 May.
Ah…the indecision 🤔
What flavor macaron to try?
Can you figure out what’s going on? 
On the occasion of the Gourmandises operation, the Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann invite their visitors to succumb to an unprecedented sensory experience, between pastry refinement and couture elegance.’
Screen shot from new TV series Careme
Maybe it’s a tie-in with
AppleTV+new series Carême?
Remember this from Chateau Vaux le Vicomte?
Whimsical sweet, fruity 
Still lives everywhere
With a dress or two thrown into the mix.
More dessert buffets in the store windows
A nice green Vichy-checked tote bag
White poofy dresses with ruffles are definitely IN this summer, but don’t look 👁️ in my closet.
No horses 🐎 in sight except for my framboise/raspberry riders
And a small child in pink at Hippodrome de Saint-Cloud playing in the grass.

    Wonderful tie-in, fashion & deserts? Except, if you indulged without moderation you would never fit into those clothes! Love your shopping excursions, Carol! ❤️

    Glad you and Bear were not out during that hailstorm…SO crazy!

  9. Those strawberries look great! Good to hear it’s mostly nice weather. I guess this is good if you’re a tourist, macarons & Gallerie LF in one visit!
