Mon Obsession Du Jour

One of my favorite things to do when I hit up Beirut Souks is to sneak into Ladurée for some of  their heavenly Macarons. My absolute favorite flavors are the Griotte Amande and the Caramel à la fleur de sel.  Yes they may be priced at LL3000 a piece,  but I assure you it may be the best $2 you may ever spend. I’m heading there for my lunch break today,  I see no better way to welcome the weekend. Bisoux

Growing up, I consumed hundreds of these circles of love and rediscovered them recently, with chocolate hazelnut and nougat-so rich and fulfilling, you just can’t have one.I’m officially obsessed. Bisoux

Vintage McQueen and The Duchess Of Cambridge- A Match Made In Heaven

So Twitter went mad  when people starting reporting that Sara Burton of McQueen’s fashion house was spotted leaving Kate Middleton’s hotel, The Goring, in the early hours of the morning.Better yet I hear the dress that will make an appearance in just under two hours may actually be drawn from McQueen’s archives himself and tweaked by Sara! Traditional and conservative is nothing short is nothing short of what  I expect, yet dashingly royal with elements of tulle and the most delicate of embroideries. Kate Middleton has been true to her style from the beginning, and although some may have referred to it as boring ( think Diane von Fürstenberg), I think it’s a refreshing reminder for young ladies around the world, that you could still look super-fashionable and sexy without having to take it all off.  So her dress my be a combination of the below from McQueen bridal collections

And now for the tiara that the Queen may lend Kate for her walk down the isle, I’m on the fence so here are my top two choices:

The Russian Fringe

The Cambridge Lovers Knot

One of my all-time favorite dishes,  sautéed shrimp in garlic and onions, sun-dried tomatoes,  a rich and creamy pesto sauce tossed with tagliatelle. The final touch-  a sprinkle of Parmesan and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Bisoux
