🍫 Maggie Louise Confections

Hi there! Since many of us won't be seeing the lovely ladies in our lives we want to celebrate on Mother's Day in person, gifts via the post will have to do. I recently stumbled upon the cutest chocolate company and I can't think of a better way to surprise the moms in our lives. 

Maggie Louise Confections started when the proprietor, Maggie, quit her career as a successful NYC lawyer to attend Le Cordon Bleu. She fell in love with chocolate and opened up her first shop in Austin, Texas. To this day her creations are still handmade and hand-painted in Austin.

I had to try some for myself so I picked up the Lipstick Trio. The packaging is luxe and gorgeous, and the chocolate itself is to die for. Each chocolate is so intricately painted, they truly looked like actual lipsticks. 

There's an entire Mother's Day section on her site, complete with avocado toast and gardening themed sets, so there's something for everyone! And don't forget to sign up for emails to get $10 off your first purchase.

Give them a try and let me know what you think, I love hearing from you!

Thanks for reading, have a fabulous day. :)

💚💚💚 PS-A very happy birthday to my Dad on Wednesday. Love ya!

Handbag Review ~ Louis Vuitton Néo Noé

I’ve been carrying around a handbag ever since I was 3 years old. And funny enough, what I carry around in it is still the same as it was 30 years ago (young me couldn’t leave the house without pocket tissues, a paper and pen, lip gloss, sunglasses and a small change purse). I’ve always had a love for them, and they are my favorite thing to shop for. 

My husband gifted me with this bag for our 10th wedding anniversary while we were in Norway. I’ve been using it nonstop ever since so I thought I’d write a little review of it. 

The original Noé bag was created in 1932 by Mr. Vuitton for a champagne maker to safely transport 5 bottles of bubbly. In 2017 the bag got a little makeover, taking away the vachetta trim, adding an adjustable strap, and adding fun pops of color while making it smaller and less cumbersome. 

The measurements of the bag are 10.2 x 8.7 x10.8 inches. It is offered in 4 colors, a pale pink, black, blue, and the color I chose, a bright red color called Coquelicot (French for poppy). It is made of coated monogram canvas, with a microfiber lining inside, making it wipe-able which I appreciate. There is a center zippered pocket dividing the main compartment into 2, which I love because it makes it easier to organize. The strap is adjustable to 2 lengths, a shorter length and then longer which is great for cross body wear. I also love the classic drawstring style because it makes it so easy to get in and out of. 

I sincerely don’t have and cons for this bag. I’ve used it for everything from errands to a night at the symphony. The size is just right for essentials, without hauling a huge tote around. And the combo of the classic monogram paired with gorgeous pops of bright red are what really stole my heart. 

(Please bear with me, these photos are my first attempt at modeling a handbag, haha.)



Wishing everyone a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! 💐
