Desserted in Paris

A French food account run by pastry chef and graphic designer Tal Spiegel, who lives in the City of Light, “Desserted in Paris” is an Instagram sensation. An aesthetically pleasing page where Tal posts images of shoes that perfectly match his pastries. This unique formula is surprisingly satisfying to endlessly browse through — think just-baked pastel-colored macarons offset by baby-pink loafers.
