Dream State

I love beautiful paintings, clothes, pastries, teas, make-up, films, books, decorations...whatever...all of it. So what would it be like if they all went together? If I took a painting and thought of the all the things I love that went with it. What gorgeous outfit would I wear to see the painting? What would I eat afterwards? What would I put in my living room to remind of of it later? That's what this is. A confluence of lovely things as informed by a piece of fine art.

Tea Time!

It's time for tea a la francaise! The painting makes me want some Mariage Freres tea and some Laduree macaroons.  Of course, its no fun unless you have a gorgeous cup to drink out of.  Mariage Frere's Eros tea is my absolute favorite.  It is a delicately perfumed black tea.  Very fruity and flowery.  And to go with - some macaroons from Laduree: rose, orange blossom and pistachio.  Rose and orange blossom are my favorite, but I think a little green is needed (hence, pistachio).  Last summer when I was in Paris I was obsessed with getting macaroons at the Laduree on Rue Bonaparte in the little collection boxes they have.  They are so cute.  But, I have to confess, the macaroons taste the best when you get them in a bag and eat them on the way home!
