In honor of Bastille Day which takes place on July 14th we take
inspiration from one of our favorite Parisian destinations, Ladurée the
patisserie made famous by its delectable macaroons. The luscious crisp
little cakes are filled with smooth creamy centers with flavors like
jasmin mango, bergamot, caramel with salted butter, red fruits and
orange blossom just to name a few. The colors of these little treats
are worthy of a trend story touting summer’s pastel infused fashions,
many of which are marked down to make room for fall arrivals. So
indulge in a sweet treat whether it be a macaroon or pastel Elizabeth
and James blouse which you can pair with white jeans. Or how about
these pretty Maloles flats, they’ll look charming with a flittery silk
summer dress. Even everyday basics like skinny jeans or classic
aviators will look perfectly lovely for a quick jaunt to the patisserie
for a box of what else? Pastel colored macaroons!

Oh man, anything even tangentially related to a Laduree macaroon has to be good.
