Last Christmas, I didn’t give my heart to anybody, but I managed to stuff myself to death at Hermès in Zurich. I can’t remember what I purchased that day, another carré or just my Eau d’Orange Verte deodorant, so much more fun to get your deodorant at Hermès than at a department store, however fancy, but I do know what I had to eat: lots and lots of chocolates, Hermès branded chocolates that is, the iconic carriage and the equally iconic H on the yummiest chocolates ever, I forgot to ask where they came from, so I cannot tell you whether they were Swiss made from Sprüngli or Teuscher or whether they were from France, but whoever made them: good job! Well done! I ate an inappropriate amount of them at the counter and finally had to move to allow some other customers to pay for their stuff and so I ever so bluntly took some more for the road. I managed to take a picture of the remaining two at home. Best Christmas ever. No one broke my heart and I gained some weight!
This blog should really come with a warning. Not only will reading about Hermès scarves, Chanel perfume, Royal Copenhagen, Diptyque candles and stunning books leave you broke after purchasing everything online but it will also make you put on weight. I had no idea Hermès did chocolates and as it’s such a long time till Christmas, I shall have to compensate by eating vast amounts of Niederegger marzipan. Still as Oscar Wilde once said, “Love and gluttony justify everything.”
