A few weeks back I spent the day munching macaron cookies and sipping lattes with Bryce Covey as he snapped shots of the gorgeous Bottega Louie, and a few of me, for Style Me Pretty Living. It was a really tough morning...she says, dripping with sarcasm. If you haven't visited Bottega Louie, it's a huge French restaurant and patisserie in downtown LA with a breathtaking array of macarons in every color and flavor you could dream of. Between the grandiose scale of the restaurant, it's rainbow displays of sweets, and Bryce's talent behind the camera, these photos turned out stunning. The colors are eye candy and I just had to share some of my favorites with you. I felt a little Breakfast at Tiffany's (the LA version) staring into the beautiful windows full of macarons. Yes, my "diamonds" are edible.
