Christmas in Paris

Looking for that certain je ne sais quoi this holiday season? From a real life Parisian elopement as featured on style guru perfect bound's website to Christian Louboutin's collaboration with Ladurée, macaroons seem to be on the tip of everyone's tongue.

Sigh! Wishing we could all jaunt down to gay ol' Paris. But if you're not in the area, try Paulette's in Beverly Hills for some macarons that rival those of Paris? Aren't these little take home boxes just darling? It's perfect for those two love bites!
