A French Blue

We love a nice French shade of blue.  

My handbag can be found here and it's color ac-blue.

The functionality for this handbag is just what I need so I'm ordering the brown for fall.

Below is our signature La Vie Parisienne bracelet in ice blue.  

They created this bracelet just for us years ago and we are honored to carry it.

It is one of my most-worn bracelets.

My favorite feature of this handbag are the four outside pockets.

I use the front pocket for my phone, the back pocket for my keys, 

and the side pockets for my sunglasses and Built Bar.  They are the perfect size.

Happy Earth Day!

In celebration of Earth Day bring in your recycle tote and receive 20% off any item of choice.  

We appreciate and encourage the use of recycle totes.

This is the tote I use and it's also available to purchase.

Also today enjoy 20% off all soaps.  Let's say no to body wash in thick plastic bottles.  

Soaps are wrapped in a thin plastic for sanitation and gifting, 

but we also have them without plastic available in jars.

Here's to doing something today that our future earth will thank us for.  

Much love!

Pad Thai Night!

Click here for the recipe I used for my Pad Thai.  I love this recipe!   

I was unable to find the sprouted beans at my local grocery store, but it was fine without them.

Click here for a good Thai green bean side dish. 

I should have made mango sticky rice for dessert, but you can never go wrong with a Snickerdoodle. 

 Let me know if you try the recipe.  Tag us on Instagram at madeleinelamour.

Easter Ideas

Without changing a lot in our home, but just by adding a few spring touches 

here and there, it brings the season to life!

I love using vintage baskets and mixing stripes with florals.

I have been collecting things a few weeks now for my boys' Easter baskets.  

They are looking to purchase a place of their own in the upcoming year and 

I have started gifting them home essentials that they won't want to buy

as they only like to buy bike-related items.  haha

If you are filling a girl's Easter basket I love Lollia's Breathe.  

It has the most beautiful packaging and is our best-selling fragrance for spring/summer.

Also comes in a mini size.  $12.

On Instagram I shared a local blogger's cute Easter ideas.  

Find us on Instagram at madeleinelamour.  Click here for affordable paper biodegradable egg cartons

that you can get in time for Easter!  They would also be cute filled with flowers

for Mother's Day if you have some left over.

Thanks for visiting!
