Breaking News: Ladurée available in Dublin

I suspect they read my first post and answered the pleas of a macaroon obsessed girl.

Ladurée macaroons are now available in Brown Thomas, Grafton Street, Dublin 2. The cute cart stand is located to the left of the door when you’re entering into the fine jewelery hall. At least, I think that’s what it’s called. Where Tiffany and Cartier now are.

Macaroons are going for €1.40 a pieces and there are a multitude of different sized boxes you can buy. Great as a gift. (My birthday is in a couple of weeks — just in case)

I’m grasping at memories here but I seem to remember a box of 6 being in and around the €12.50 mark.

Lookalikes

Perusing the homepage of NME this morning I was struck by a new look Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys. Fantastically coiffed and not looking like a complete chav anymore, we have Mr Alexa Chung perching on a wall of some sort and looking musical:

Looking slightly like a lost sparrow and slightly like the long lost member of the Bay City Rollers, he is composing such genius lines as You used to get it in your fishnets/ Now you only get it in your nightdress. (That’s not sarcasm — I think that’s a faboosh lyric)

I think it’s the hair and the bird like face that is making me place him in with Leslie, Derek and the others.

Amazingly, I seem to have stumbled upon the one photo of the Bay City Rollers in existence, without any tartan.

But, can’t you see young Alex there – pumping his fist in the air, imploring you to Shang-a-lang (whatever that might mean).

Stay tuned and I shall perhaps bring you some more lookalikes, that only really make sense to my mind.

Also, this makes me really want to see an at home spread “OK” stylee with Alex and Alexa – only because they have the same names and I sort of have a girl crush on the female against my better judgement.
