I was on South Pearl Street yesterday enjoying a double cafe americano with good friends at Stella’s. You must visit this coffee shop – it’s adorable! You can tuck yourself away reading, networking, or socializing in any number of cozy rooms in the back. They also have an amazing patio with mini firepits!
I was just about to get away empty-handed (accept for this much-needed mug), when I noticed that my car just happened to be parked right in front of Melrose & Madison– a clothing boutique that I shockingly had never stepped foot in! I am so glad I proceeded through its doors, although pleading with myself not to BUY just LOOK! This shop was stocked full of brands I love, thus furiously feeding my shopping addiction.
Combining two coastal styles in one destination, hence the name Melrose & Madison, the boutique carries designer lines from both L.A. and NYC! Such brands, to name a few, include…Pam & Gela, Ella Moss, Young Fabulous and Broke, Daydreamer, LNA, Monrow, Parker, Wilt, Hat Attack, Mother Denim, Fifteen Twenty, Whitney Eve, Drew, and Rory Becca.
I tried on the following pieces . . .All black of course!
Faux-Leather SweatPant | Fifteen Twenty | $143.00
Burnout Oversize Tee | Monrow | $86.00
Monrow carries amazing essential cotton tee shirts in many different styles and colors.
Dixon Leggings | Whitney Eve | $113.00 now 30% Off
Leather Corset Evening Gown | Amanda Uprichard | $350.00 now 30% Off

And, finally! I’ve been wanting a pair of hi-tops for quite some time. I found these Joie Cheetah Hi-Tops at Melrose & Madison on sale for $150.00. So lightweight and comfortable!
Shopping gives me such Joie de Vivre, but I believe it has quite the opposite effect on my husband!
