Ladurée’s great story started in 1862. Jeanne Souchard, Ernest Ladurée’s wife, had the idea of mixing styles: the Parisian café and the French pastry. She gave birth to one of the first tea shops in Paris. In 1993, Ladurée was taken over and became one of the Parisian delicacy hotspots and a real institution with its famous macaroon as emblem.
Now there are 1001 ways to thank your guests for traveling the world to come to your wedding may it be in Paris or elsewhere.

Lanvin for everyone
I love Alber Elbaz style and creative sense. When the H&M business strategy comes to “move beyond its core concept of quality fashion at the best price, to make so-called ‘luxury’ fashion available to the greatest number,” the brand calls upon Elbaz Elbaz to design cocktail dresses with rose-patterning or yellow frills and sharp-tailored black or purple party frock numbers, with a democratic price tag of 99 to 149 euros…

Lanvin christmas decor at Le Printemps in Paris
The launch of the end of the year’s festive season in Paris officially opened this week with the Lanvin / Le Printemps amazing window displays that were unveiled during a grand ceremony on wednesday. Every year, the iconic Parisian department store Le Printemps Haussmann dresses its large windows with opulent displays to celebrate the holiday season. In past years, the animated windows have been created by Haute Couture houses: Chanel (Karl Lagerfield) and Dior (Jean Paul Galliano).
Creative license was given to Alber Elbaz from Lanvin this year. Just like my son, I was mesmerized by the dancing “marionettes”, representing Mr. and Miss Lanvin and their numerous guests as they make their way through various rooms of a Chateau during christmas season.
The window displays can only be seen for 6 weeks, we had a great time. Parisians by the thousands will most certainly too. -
Balenciaga on Park Avenue
Tomorrow marks the opening of BALENCIAGA: Spanish Master at Queen Sofía Spanish Institute in NYC, showcasing more than seventy items of Cristóbal Balenciaga clothing and accessories. The exhibition, conceived by Oscar de la Renta and curated by Hamish Bowles, will remain on view through February 19, 2011. Any past, present and future brides shopping on 5th avenue this week end, should make the detour at 684 Park Avenue for some inspiration and a memorable classic fashion experience. Literally one block from the 68th Street/Hunter College station on the 6 line.
And if you cannot make it in time, the original exhibition will be expanded for presentation as Balenciaga and Spain at the de Young Museum in San Francisco from March 26 through July 4, 2011. -
