Lovable Friday!

1. Macarons

I think the one defining moment of my time spent in Paris was eating macarons. Sure, the city was breathtaking, sure it’s the birth place of fashion, but for me, it was all about the macarons. Visiting LaDuree was the highlight. My mouth has never exploded into a million pieces when I have eaten something before, and it happened with each and every colorful little macaron. Ever since, I have been dying to find a French bakery in Miami that can replicate that beautiful feeling. Any recs, local readers?

2. 50 Shades of Suck

Yeah, I jumped on this bandwagon. I couldn’t resist when I saw my Facebook feed erupting about it for days. Unfortunately, it was a pile of steaming turd. And that is putting it very, very mildly. Thankfully, someone else feels the same. And they made a Tumblr account about it. Whether you have read the book or not, you will definitely get some LOLz reading Fifty Shades of Suck. My personal favorite? THIS.

3. Martini Cocktail Party Shirt

Everything about this shirt is absolutely amazing. I love its airy and innocent vibe. Peter pan collars always do me in – they just scream femininity (with a fair share of Lolita). It would look great paired with some brightly hued denim or a sleek pair of black tuxedo pants. Mama wants. Get yours here.

4. Glitter Envelope Liners

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Party invitations are your guests first glimpse as to what to expect out of your event, so never let them down! That would be near impossible with these fun glitter envelope liners from PersianLaundry‘s Etsy store. I’m thinking they would be perfect for a bridal shower brunch complete with champagne, macarons & your favorite ladies. Did I mention macarons again? Oops.

5. Paint-dipped Utensils

I’m all about festive cookware. Especially since I’m not very fond of the kitchen. I always need some sort of incentive (starvation usually works wonders), and pretty things seem to do the trick! This is a fun and quick DIY project that could turn your drawers from blah to wowza in only a few minutes! Also, they could make for some great gifts (Mothers Day is coming up)!

    you must check out Atelier Monnier. They have a location on US1 past kendall drive and they also show up on lincoln rd on Sundays during the market. I found them more than a year ago and absolutely everything they make is deelish. Happy Macaron hunting!

    LMAO @ 50 Shades of Suck. It’s painstaking to get through these books I want to finish them just to see what it’s all about. I’m in the middle of book 2 and I’m still waiting for it to get better as everyone says it does.
