Lotus Jewelry Studio Summer Trunk Show

If any of you Beauties are Baltimore based, I would love to see you tonight! I'll be at Lotus Jewelry Studio's Summer Trunk Show from 5-10. La Papillon will be in the house representing with lots of our fabulous wares, as well as Tres Bon Bons with samples of our Death by Chocolate flavor!

I have to say one of the best perks of having a boutique is finding great vendors to stock it with. I love supporting local businesses & ironically enough Lotus' Studio is literally 100 yards down from our spa & gift boutique. They have amazing pieces- they're known for their initial necklaces which make great bridesmaid gifts. I fell in love with their Sierra Necklace- it's simple, yet unusual. I also adore green amethyst & get a compliment every time I wear it.

These are hands down my favorite pair of gold earrings- their Sasha Earrings, another piece of theirs that I had to have for myself! They're the perfect earring to throw on with your hair in a ponytail in the hot summer heat, I love that they're not heavy either. I'll be sporting these tonight! Hope to see you for nibbles, cocktails & great accessories!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

Summer Statement Jewelry

How is it possible that the holiday weekend already seems like it was so long ago? Eeks! I have a big Bon Bon order I'm in the middle of & we're up to our eyeballs pricing new inventory at the boutique- Calgon take me away! It will all get done- it always does, just with a little help from caffeine! Here's a peek at just some of the new pieces we got in at La Papillon. These I think will be our signature summer earrings- I love them! Not too heavy, either- I picked up a pair for myself & sent a pair to my sister for her birthday.
I am obsessed with turquoise & gold lately- I have my eye on this necklace, too!

These are the most delicate lace like mini chandelier earrings. I want a pair of these, too! {Sensing a pattern?}

This necklace makes such a statement & can be worn reversed in all gold.

Another necklace that can make an outfit, just pair with a strapless maxi & you're done!

It's funny, I was worried these might be a little over the top for the girls, but this necklace was the Beauty Team's overall favorite pick! Do you have a favorite- what would you wear it with?

Boutique Warehouse Sale

Both Tres Bon Bons & La Papillon Spa will be featured vendors at this weekend's Boutique Warehouse Sale thrown by the Junior League of Baltimore.

Tres Bon Bons' new Birthday Ball Pop

Tres Bon Bons' new Cookies n' Cream Pop

It's a great excuse to grab a girlfriend & have a Girls' Night Out- especially at the preview party tonight. There will be cocktails & nibbles plus amazing steals & deals from over 20 local boutiques!

Not in the Baltimore Area? Look for your local chapter's event calender. It's a great time that goes directly back into funding local charities & cause. Hope to see you tonight!

Valentine's Sweet Treats

Valentine's Day is right around the corner beauties! Whether you're a romantic & j'adore the holiday, or even whether you have a beau or not - pick up a sweet treat for yourself! Forget cinnamon hots & scoop up our Cinnamon Lip Scrub from Sara Happ to keep you pucker soft!

Speaking of soft, just in time for Valentine's we got in Sara's divine new Vanilla Bean Body Scrub to slough off winter flakeys & reveal silky smooth skin. The gold box would be perfectly paired with a gift card for massage!

These mini speakers we carry at La Papillon are perfectly themed for Valentine's Day with their crystal heart, but will be used all year long!

How adorable is this little jewelry box from Pottery Barn? It'd be the perfect presentation for a little Valentine bling or the cutest little treat for a daughter filled with conversation hearts!

Of course, over at Tres Bon Bons we've been baking like crazy making sure that every sweet heart gets their delectable confections! So tell me, what gets your heart a flutter for Valentine's? What's on your wish list?

It is a whirlwind of festivities all day today beauties, I will need my caffeine on an IV drip! First we'll be having an Injectable Event with our Diva of Dermatology, Dr. Noelle Sherber.

Tres Bon Bons

We often have great events at La Papillon- you girls know since I give you recaps all the time. My Bons Bons have become quite the hit at the events, so I decided to launch Tres Bon Bons-because I obviously have too much time on my hands! Our official launch was at the Junior League of Baltimore's Decor Galore Sale over the weekend.

We brought other treats from the spa that pulled in with our confection theme, as well- organic handmade peppermint soap & our best selling cupcake bath bombs. Of course we couldn't leave behind our fan favorite Frasier Fir, too!

Everyone nibbled away at our sampling of strawberry, lemon, autumn spice, vanilla & confetti Bon Bons- they were coming back for second, thirds & fourths!

It was such a fun night & truly a great way to introduce the new business. Speaking of introductions, this is La Papillon's new spa & boutique manager Jodi, who rocked it out during the event!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M

Friday's Finds

What are my beauties up to this weekend? If I were a New Yorker, I'd be at Barneys!

She will be offering personal consultations using Hourglass Cosmetics.(Run, quick call 212.833.2658 to secure your spot)
