Chanel & Ladurée

   

Chanel Le Vernis & Ladurée Macarons

 Two of my great loves in life - Chanel nail polish and Ladurée macarons.  


Pink - Riviera & Strawberry Candy
Orange - June & Salted Caramel
Yellow - Mimosa & Lemon
Green - Nouvelle Vague & Pistachio
Blue - Riva & Iced Mint
Purple -  Paradoxal & Violet 
Ladurée started in Paris and are slowly opening more stores in other countries but I get them mostly from the concession at Harrods in London. They are hands down the most delicious thing ever, two crisp shells with a chewy centre and with a variety of soft fillings (jam, cream, ganache and so on). They have a set core of flavours that are available all year alongside seasonal varieties like Gingerbread at Christmas, Lily of the Valley in Spring and Strawberry Poppy in Summer. I'm a sucker for any kind of floral flavour so my favourites are Rose and Orange Blossom but the Salted Caramel is awesome too.


They do regular collaborations with different people to create limited edition boxes and flavours. Previous collaborations have included Christian Louboutin, Marni and Matthew Williamson. Currently you can get boxes as part of their collaboration with Hello Kitty.
