I am printing these to put around my house today.  Good little reminders about life.

Life is a difficult, messy and beautiful thing.

Be careful what you see on social media.  Even ours.

Yes, we love pretty things but that does not mean our lives are always perfectly put together.

Someone suggested that a friend going through something difficult

come and talk with me.  She responded, "why would I do that, her life is perfect."

We can laugh for days about this.

Life is messy and that's ok.

Life can be sad and that's ok.

Life can be completely 100% awesome and that's really ok.

Life can humble you, amaze you, inspire you and love you

and we just need to love it right back.

Signature Handbag in Gray

Just when I think I don't need all the colors of our new handbag I fall in love with another color.

Our signature handbag in gray is a great basic and goes with everything.  

We love that they can be dressed up or down which makes it a nice handbag to travel with.

Above:  My white eyelet top was $49.99 I found it for $24.99 in store and now it's $12 here.
It's also available in green and a black and white combo.

My mom surprised me with these lovely flowers for Easter.  How darling is the container! 

We are excited to announce that we will have some fresh flowers and plants for Mother's Day!

We both love flowers so much we wish we could have a little floral shop inside

Madeleine L'Amour.

Wishing you a lovely spring day!

La Vie Parisienne

Beautiful new arrivals from La Vie Parisienne.

We received a larger pendant necklace that is available on a long or short chain.

I am in love with this new blue color! 

So many new earrings in a wide variety of colors.  

Featured with Tocca's Giulietta fragrance.

Below a peek at our Easter dinner from over the weekend.  
Napkin rings are from Meri Meri, London.

Deviled egg recipe found here.

I made them a bit healthier using organic brown eggs, olive oil mayo, sea salt 

and apple cider vinegar and they tasted just the same!

Going to Market Tote

Our market totes are breathable and lightweight and offer a convenient way to carry 

fruits and veggies and/or a nice beach companion to carry sandy or wet items.  

It is small and compact and can be easily stored in another bag.

They can also be used as home decor and are available in a variety of colors.

$8

A Feminine Touch

This spring our hair clips, headbands and scrunchies have been a hit!  

We love that they give any outfit a feminine touch.

It's a trend that is popular around the world.

We spotted a pearl clip on Lydia Elise Millen (featured yesterday) in London

and see them popping up everywhere.

We now carry a wide variety of barrettes from pearls and tortoise, to very simple stacking bobbies.

$12- $18

They make affordable little gifts too.

My dress is on sale here.  Regularly $50 now $25.  I'm ordering it in the lilac for summer.
The cutwork on this dress is so beautiful and gives a feminine touch.

Note:  It is so comfy, but runs a bit large so I will size down next time.

Thanks for visiting!

Blush and Nude

Hair accessories in a lovely neutral palette have arrived.

They make a nice addition to an Easter basket.

I have been wearing a pearl clip in my hair on repeat.  

See below.  More photos coming today on Instagram.

Scrunchies $6

Clips $12

Love spotting the beautiful Lydia Elise Millen in a pearl clip.

This is just like the one I've been wearing

and we were re-stocked yesterday. 

You can find her here.

She is my neutral-loving soul sister.  

She once said she bleeds nude.  haha.  I get it,

as we share a love for all things blush, nude and cream.

Thanks for visiting!

I can't wait to see yesterday's new arrivals.

We have had some flooding here due to all the rain

so I was out of the shop yesterday,

but we are excited for clear skies today!

My mom said the cutest light-weight animal print scarves arrived.

Speaking of all things blush, cream and nude . . .

Inside Madeleine L' Amour

Here is a look inside our shop from Karlie Ashcroft McGettigan. 

I love her classic style and humorous Instagram account.  

You can find her @karlie1.  Her stories are so funny.

Karlie is beautiful inside and out
and I can't wait to see how she styles our new clips and Madeleine handbag.

more to come

Wishing you a happy Monday!
