Although I've never been one to really have that much of a sweet tooth, there are a few sugary treats out there that I can't seem to get enough of. One of these such desserts is the French macaron. Specifically Laduree macarons. Another thing that I am always drawn to and can't get enough of? Gold. Gold the precious metal, gold the color... whichever. So what happens when you put these two great loves of my life into one beautiful, shiny and delicious package? You get Marni and Laduree's amazingly gorgeous and almost-too-pretty-to-eat limited edition gold-leaf macarons. Packaged in a beautiful Marni-designed box, you can choose between a set of eight or eighteen chocolate macarons laden in shining gold leaf. Or, for the real fanatics, you can customize your own box of flavors! Speckled in gold, delicious and unique... there is no better holiday treat, so why not indulge in something truly decadent and surprise your loved ones (or yourself) with a box?
Price: Varies With Order

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!
