She is also slowly, but surely, improving her photography skills. A cherished gift I just can’t say no to!
One of the many wonderful spots she has since been indoctrinated into is the quaint, understated but extremely elegant retail shopping destination I love, Melrose Place.
During our last two visits, we noticed a pretty pink structure, adorned with pink garden roses that could easily pass for a miniature château fit for a shabby chic princess, or Lisa Vanderpump’s small horses. A beyond fitting abode for the newest LoveShackFancy shop, a brand most beloved by so many grand millennials, myself included.
The flower frame reminds me a bit of my wedding arch, full of garden charm and summer magic. Of course we weren’t the only ones drooling over the facade masterpiece, a perfectly positioned slice of Insta heaven.
And although my mother and I are continuing to avoid heading inside stores for the most part, we couldn’t help but peak into one of the shutter bearing windows, awing at the most delectable selection of peasant chic garments, fit for all carefree occasions. The design of the store from my very humble view, reminded me of my younger self’s tea party fantasy, in which any item inside would be more than appropriate for.
It’s safe to say both my mother and I will be filled to the brim with joy once we get the chance to frequent stores again. This one high on the list, as will the many other lovely shops on this small tree-lined street. But until then, window shopping here and the many other swoon worthy spots will just have to do.
