Ladurée and Penhaligon's

I couldn't stop thinking of these two luxe shops after the last post, so here are some exquisite macarons, a Ladurée specialty, almost too pretty to eat. (I love the above photo by Aya Brackett).

The Ladurée in London's Burlington Arcade is like walking into a gold-foil-wrapped confection, which I guess is the idea. :)

British perfumer Penhaligon's has a cult following (and supply the royals). I don't even use perfume that much, but I can be sold!

Penhaligon's sweeet "scent library" (first spotted at the Burlington Arcade locale) has scents named Artemisia & Endymion. Sigh.

Little notes
Ladurée and Penhaligon's have been spreading their wings across Europe, stirring up fun local buzz--e.g., just check out the posts below!...

Peeks & thoughts into the Milan Ladurée from Rubber Slippers in Italy...(Do have a look around this lovely blog - not only is it wonderful food inspiration, it's filled with delightful posts on all things Italian and beyond)...

And a bit of perfume desire at Penhaligon's Paris...
