It’s that time of year again, belles! Those babies are graduating (they’re barely out of nappies…right?!) and it’s time to reward their amazing accomplishments, celebrate their achievements and send them on their merry way. Stumped?? Well…we have some India-inspired ideas for you…
The Crown Jewels jewelry case…to let her know what a precious gem she is (shown with the Shuffle and Deal wallet and the Free Spirit necklaces…may she always be free!)
The Firefly will let her shine, shine, shine (and keep the necessities on hand)!
The Flat Stanley pouch…don’t let her forget her inner child!
The Riviera Tote will come in handy for the girl on-the-go (in palm, poppy and rapeseed yellow)
The Riviera Wash Bag in poppy and palm (also available in rapeseed yellow)…because we want her to always be prepared for an adventure
For her extended excursions…maybe she needs the whole kit-n-kaboodle with the Riviera Duffle, the Baby Riviera and the wash bag…’cause bein’ a bag lady ain’t a bad thing! (Shown in rapeseed yellow, also available in poppy and palm)
The Biscayne Bay bag will prove to be an essential for move-in day and beyond…while the Baby Biscayne keeps the smaller goodies all nice-n-tidy
The Gypsy Dancer earring…may she always remember to dance!
The Winning Streak necklace…because her winning streak has just begun
But no need to stop there…check out the jewelry and Indie tokens yourself. Ya never know what treasures you might find!!
Wrap it up, belles!

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’ve talked about the clutch before, belles, (remember this?) but we want to be sure you were listening!! These little stylish bags are perfectly polished all alone for those “pulled-together” moments…holding all of the necessities without screaming for attention…but are small enough to pop into the big day bag for the belle on-the-go. (Speaking of that day bag, one of us had someone call hers a “samsonite” the other day! Time to downsize? Probably not 😉
Here are a few of our faves for fall…
From Nordstrom:
The Alexander Wang Dumbo
The Berry Embellished Glitter clutch
The amazingly versatile SachElliott Lucca Sachaa…it has a removable strap and two extra snap-on pouches!!
From India Hicks…
The “Carmen” clutch with optional mix-n-match tassel
From Clare V…. 
How could a belle possibly go wrong??!
And for some local options…
From Cone & Coleman Collection on Main Street in Greenville:
Paule Ka (left) and GaBaG.Co (right)
From Twill on Augusta Road:
the “Jojo” crossbody from Annabel Ingall
From Muse Shoe Studio:
from Elaine Turner
Ceri Hoover foldover (with strap) and fringe pouch
And from Savvy…(for some serious retail therapy):
She + Lo stud clutch with hand loop
Hoss Mongolian lamb fur wristlet clutch with calf hair mini clutch
Clutch ’em while you can, belles!
