Hello Kitty x Laduree - This Makes Me Happy

Yeah I'm too old but I don't care - I love Hello Kitty. I also love Laduree macarons and their gorgeous little presentation boxes so this collaboration is a double win for me.  The Hello Kitty x Laduree collection of deliciously sweet, cutesy treats and all manner of kiddy stationery (notebooks, stickers, letter writing sets, etc) specially produced for the French gourmet brand, is only available in store.  www.laduree.fr for stockists

FASHION WEEK FOODIE TREAT: MATTHEW WILLIAMSON X LADUREE

It's the gift that keeps on giving - Matthew Williamson has created a special Fashion Week gift for Ladurée featuring one of his signature colourful print designs and, if you're a hoarder like me, this perfect trinket box will long outlast the mouth watering macaroons inside (NOM though).

Ladurée's Matthew Williamson Macaroon Gift Box contains eight of the now international French tea salon's most famous creations.  It will be available from its London stores in Covent Garden, the Burlington Arcade and Harrods from this Friday (16th September - the first day of London Fashion Week), then follows the fash pack to Paris where it'll be on sale from September 27 for €15,60.
