Paris in Hong Kong

Christmas. Paris. Christmas in Paris. Is there anything more wonderful?

Unfortunately, we won’t be making any major trips in the near future. Dreams will have to stay as dreams for now.

Imagine my surprise this afternoon, when I stepped into Landmark HK and into a most magical scene.

What first caught my eye were these adorable tiny spinning macaron towers.

Le capital du haute couture du monde. The figure on the right toting an orange bag is one of my favourites. Trench coat, Breton stripes, skinny jeans. Très, très chic.

And on the catwalk? The swishy yellow ballgown, bien sûr.

And because it’s Landmark, there are whimsical hot air balloons “floating” around.

Christmas. Paris. Christmas in Paris. Someday.
