Remember the song "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music":
< ... >
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
< ... >
Well, I would definitely opt for white paper packages any time. Don't you just love the clean, minimalistic, laconic design?
Crème de la Crème opened their third parfumerie in Vilnius. Their haute stuff is also available in Tallinn, but who doesn't like some souvenir shopping while abroad? Speaking of which, I just cannot not mention the brand new concept store called House of Naïve, known originally for their chocolate Naive. The place looks like anything but a candy shop. We were hunting for the limited edition Porcini chocolate - a high end chocolate bar paired with wild porcini mushrooms (so called "baravykas"). You have to admit it, Lithuanians do love their mushrooms. As described on their website - "nutty, woody, but with an extremely beautiful finish – this chocolate bar is truly the rule breaker." Now, who am I to say no to breaking the rules? In the end, we decided to buy the whole encyclopedia of chocolate. House of Naive also sells designer clothes and accessories. Can you wear chocolate or taste linen, they ask?
