    Wear An Outfit Inspired by Laduree French Macarons!

    image
    Ida Hsiang on Jul 23, 2009 5:19 AM PDT
    In honor of Bastille Day which takes place on July 14th, we take inspiration from one of our favorite Parisian destinations, Laduree, the patisserie made famous by its delectable macarons. The luscious, crisp little cakes are filled with smooth creamy centers with flavors like jasmine, 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 macaron 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 fluttery 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 macarons, of course!

    Moisturize With Buttercream Frosting, Exfoliate With Parfait!

    image

    The creators of Jaqua Bath & Beauty must be geniuses. Not only have they found a way to successfully combine bath time and dessert time without the usual crumbs in the tub effect, but their line of beauty accessories are so stunningly packaged that you'll be more than a little tempted to leave them out on the counter for display. My roommate, Lauren, was the first to get me hooked on the line. When we moved in together she kindly forewarned me that the delicious buttercream smelling stuff in the bathroom was not frosting, but body butter. Would have fooled me. The Jaqua Shea Buttercream Body Butter is just about the consistency of those little Betty Crocker tubs of pre-made frosting. And the smell? It's on the dot. I was already sold on the line when Lauren tempted me once again, this time with Jaqua Peach Parfait Exfoliating Body Polish. Now, I'd usually take chocolate cake over peach parfait any day, but this magical beauty concoction had even me rethinking my hierarchy of favorite desserts. Words cannot do justice to describe how soft my skin felt and how good I smelled. I literally erupted from the shower and onto the computer to order some Jaqua products for myself. So whether you are looking for some new accessories to spruce up your bathroom or for the perfect gift, you must search the Hive for Jaqua Bath & Beauty products. And be sure to check out my SLIDESHOW for my five favorites from their line.
