Oh, Maison du Soir you never disappoint. I was obsessed with this pair. Stars and constellations have always been my thing. Growing up, if I couldn’t sleep I would walk out to my balcony and watch the stars. Or if I had a sleepover I would make my friends bring blankets to the boat dock and lay out there and look at them. I was also that kid who haaad to have the glow in the dark stars for my bedroom – the ones you would stick to your celling with putty (lucky parents). There was always something so magical about stars and the formations they created. I can still remember seeing my first shooting star. Usually I am over dramatic when I experience new things but  I was dead silent when I saw it and kept it to myself. It was such a special moment to me, why, I am not sure, but it just felt so enchanting and something I wanted to remember for forever and not waste my time on the celebratory antics.

I always hated growing up in a small town and had such an itch to leave. I couldn’t wait to be “metropolitan.” But like anything, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. One thing I find myself missing dearly is looking up and seeing a vast sky lit up by the stars. It is so sad to look up at the sky and not see all of the bright stars sparkling back. Since I am missing this magic moment I decided what better way to fill the void than by wearing them? I am continuing my Maison du Soir series today in Normandy and with the Constellation collection. Since Normandy is a quiet and small town I decided the Constellation pattern would be perfect. The nights there are so  beautiful and still, you can’t miss the stars even if you tried. We stayed in a beautiful Chateau right outside of town. The weather was cool so we slept with our windows open, which was a perfect way to view the stars. Although I am back in Dallas, I am still wearing my Constellation top and pants and wishing I was somewhere quiet and still so I could see the real thing! Until then I have Maison du Soir!

 This top. Oh this top! I love a good basic but when I come across something as exquisite as this top, I am speechless. I usually wouldn’t say this is my style, as it is quite feminine, but it stopped me in my tracks. There are a few things that I can’t refuse in life, one being beautiful and unique pieces of clothing. Lela Rose knows how to do this! Her pieces are all made with the most beautiful fabrics and classic silhouettes. Each design feels like a one of a kind made just for you! This Texas native can seriously do no wrong. Even the Duchess agrees!

Before my wedding my sweet mother-in-law took me on a little spree at Lela Rose and I scored two of the most beautiful dresses. I wear worship them. Since quality and beauty often times comes with a price tag I was sure I wouldn’t have the budget to buy another piece any time soon, but then I received a sweet surprise from my mother-in-law. Remembering our shopping trip before my wedding and how much I loved Lela, she sent me a little goodie. I will cherish this top and think of how lucky I am to be blessed with in-laws like I have! A beautiful piece with extra meaning – does it get better?
