If 2016 were to be defined by any mythical creature, it would have to be the mermaid.

From the body positive mermaid thighs movement to dreamy mermaid crowns and hair, this mystical figure of beauty has been busy dressing our newsfeeds with all sorts of sea-sourced magic.

This trend reached previously unseen levels of glory this week when mermaid inspired macarons appeared on Instagram.

Created by YouTuber Meghan Rosko, the Mermaid Macs feature turquoise macarons, multi-coloured mermaid tails and a luscious lilac filling, all of which, when combined, looks nothing short of mesmerising.

Check them out below:
