Time to prepare those baskets, belles! Yep, Easter is just a little over a week away, so we thought you might need some ideas. Enter our dear belle friend, Margaret and her India Hicks wares!
We have fallen in love with some of style-maven Hicks’ creations. Here are just a few that might tickle your fancy as well…
Let us walk you through this bevy of beauties…
The ears have it…
Left to right: The Letitia Hoop is an update to an old classic…which every belle must have in her repertoire. The Disco Valante is a danglin’ stunner that will shine like a disco ball (perfect when a belle wants to grab some attention). And for the “edgy-belle”…the Pyramid Stud says “yea, I’m all that…and more”
There’s a Junkanoo Tassel to suit all styles and tastes. Ya might need one in every color…’cause you never know what mood might strike. Just sayin’
Every belle needs a Treasure Box, and this one bumps it up just a bit, “island style”. And speaking of…Island Style…what belle doesn’t love flipping through a beautiful hardcover for a few “take me away” moments in a room scented with India’s Casuarina Room Spray? (we can smell the beach now!)
And let’s talk about the gold standard!! The Gold Crackle Firefly is perfect for keeping up with all of your little treasures while the Gold Crackle Insider handles the bigger haul with ease…in enviable style, of course. And finally…the gold vermeil Legacy Letter collection is the perfect little adornment that quietly says “this is who I am…and I like it”. Beautifully arranged letters from A-Z (well almost…sorry Quinn and Ursula) dangle from a dainty adjustable-length chain…just right for all ages, sizes & styles. Our fave would be the AAAA of course!
Hop to it, belles!

We saw this Coconut chicken curry from Epicurious and made it on the fly. It was delish!
Served it with cauliflower rice and peas on the side to round out the meal .
Here’s what you’ll need. (All the cashews had been gobbled up so we substituted pine nuts with great success)
And we had slightly less meat (more like a pound and a half) and were generous with the spices.
Here’s what you need to do

Feast complete…bon appetit!

SOS!! All belles on deck!! We are putting out an APB for a replacement for one belle’s all-time favorite shoe!!
Exhibit A…on the right…is one 5-year-old Fendi – the apple of momma’s eye – so stunningly simple and beautiful that both belles purchased a pair while on a joint shopping jaunt way back when – so beloved that one belle had to talk herself out of wearing them every single chance she got (give the other girls a chance, momma!)
Until…5-year-old Fendi met 3-year-old Lily, the Golden Retriever who is extremely lucky she is so doggone cute and sweet…and is therefore still alive. After some hysterics, this belle did the only thing she could think to do. She commenced to shopping, scouring every website her little fingers could hammer out. Alas, no exact replacement found.
Enter Exhibit B…on the left…one vintage Jimmy Choo found at the “vintage/resale” site The Real Real. While seemingly nowhere near a logical replacement for poor little Fendi, Jimmy Choo actually possesses some qualities which just might do the trick (at least in some situations). Barely there and somewhat of a neutral color, Jimmy is just gonna have to do in a pinch!
In the meantime, we belles have contacted Fendi with a plea for help…and would love your input…
…and Lily remains oblivious to the gravity of the situation!

This pair of belles both bought a pair of these shoes. Why? The perfect combination of the on-trend floral movement and the escalation of espadrilles. This little beauty does both without breaking the bank!
Available at Nordstrom and Topshop
Belles love adding a fun, flirty accessory to their collection!

Remember your mom’s layered salad from the 70’s? Well…some of you might not ’cause you’re too doggone young, but we won’t hold that against you! Anyway, way back when, the yumminess was loaded with a mayo and sugar-laden dressing…pretty much wiping away any nutritional value of the veggies. We’ve done a little update using our Pretty Darn Good Greek Yogurt Ranch dressing! You’re gonna love it, belles!
Layer your veggies in a large casserole dish. We used lettuce, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, throwback canned Le Sueur peas, and sliced hard-boiled egg. Add bacon, avocado, celery, carrots…whatever floats your boat.
Now, make your ranch dressing and cover the entire mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Belleicious!
