Paris Breakfast

This is my all-time favourite blog!

Carol Gillot is an American who divides her time between USA and France.  She is an artist and her watercolour works are just breathtaking.  You can see them here and buy them here.

Her blog is her musings on Paris with particular focus on the food and fashion.  It is unpretentious and completely readable.

Reading her blog makes me feel like I am back in Paris!

Daydreams start here.

Ladurée is coming to Sydney!

Nothing says the meeting of Europe and Australia like the opening of an iconic French store in Sydney!

I passed by the formwork on Level 3, Westfield Sydney in the Pitt Street Mall today.  The artists are in hand-painting the famous Ladurée crest and the gorgeous French lamps are being fitted to the counters.

I am lead to believe it will be open for business at the start of September 2012 plus it is being advertised as making a special one-off macaron to celebrate Sydney for the Vogue Fashion Night Out 2012 on 6 September 2012 so I am very confident the start of September is correct.

I have been to Ladurée stores in London (Harrods) and Paris (Champs Élysées and Madeline) so while it is a little different having the store in the walkway area of a busy shopping centre (!?) if the macarons are the same, I'll be there.
