Laduree Valentine’sfeatured

Getting macarons for Valentine’s day is cliche for reason – it always works. I’m open to discussion on where they make the best ones, but we all know there’s no competition in the most elaborate approach. Laduree is the highest form of high tea. And you get everything you expect from French high tea in Laduree Moscow: exquisite macarons, impeccable interior as well as cold, unfriendly and condescending service. Ah, Paris.

And if among these pastel cups, marble tables, sparkling chandeliers, etched pastry boxes and rose tea you aren’t wearing pink and pearls, then we are two very different people, and I have no understanding of your thought process. Because this soft off-shoulder sweater and bright trousers seemed like the only possible combination here. And the ombre trench, since I’m apparently trying to freeze myself to death.
