Laduree macaron boxes...what IS it about them..?
Some Laduree boxes, watercolor, 9" x 11" Can we ever get enough?
Or are you only interested in the contents? They keep changing the boxes with the seasons - these are the new Fall boxes designed by hot shoe designer Christian Louboutin. Get ready to run get some!
'Course I could look at the old classics all daylong.
The proportions and colors are perfect...
Hmmm...you're thinking about the contents again..I can tell
There's something about the boxes that's captivating...
They have a decidedly Rococo feel to them. Certainly the soft pale colors are very fem. The ribbony cartouche design was used on old wine labels. It was used on everything in 18th century French design. Doesn't it make us feel a bit like Marie-Antoinette - gobbling cookies and not thinking about the consequences...
Let's eat cake and worry about the regiem tomorrow
Laduree has some new notebooks and fans to help us feel more like Marie-Antoinette...
Why didn't I buy this pretty but impractical green umbrella?
Because I saw it my first day in Paris and you never buy anything on the first day. You tell yourself you'll think about it and come back later... HA! Scenes from my coveted box collection...
Are you nuts about these boxes too?
BONJOUR LADUREE!
