nygårdsanna take 2

Hello friends...I first need to take the time to thank Jane and Alicia.  I knew their posts would be spectacular and I have to say they went above and beyond...so lovely!


I always find myself a bit quiet after my family leaves...I had a wonderful time with my little sister and B had the most magical time with his "Aunty T"...I am giving myself one day to feel a bit sad...not to worry, there are plenty of beautiful things to occupy my bliss...

I first discovered the beautiful Swedish line nygårdsanna back in November and have been paying close attention every since...I am loving everything and I mean absolutely everything I am seeing for spring... 





...hope you are all having a lovely week....xo mrs. french

I heart Monday.

Jane here from Ill Seen, Ill Said! Mrs French is off gallivanting with her sister so I'm hearting this Monday on her behalf. She wanted to come back to a little Spring fashion inspiration, and I don't like to argue with the boss lady on her own blog, so here goes! Hope you enjoy my stand-in Monday hearts and drop in for a visit over at my blog where, as well as fashion, I blog about things other than fashion...

I heart this headband (even though I've short hair)
I heart these sandals so much it hurts
I heart this dress, by Toronto's own Comrags
Oh, and this dress too...
Last dress, I promise
I heart this necklace. And the person who made it. And her blog!
I heart these wool jersey leggings
I heart this sustainable bag from Toronto's FLUF
I heart this cami-blouse
I heart this perfect tee, and perfect tees in general
This necklace would make a perfect tee even more heartable
I heart finding new jeans that make my flat bottom look pertfect
I heart this easy cardi
I heart this sweet necklace (discovered through amazing Stephanie)
I heart this skirt
And this Whistles skirt
And this one too. Three's a charm!
I heart this silver boho bag
I've been hearting these ruffled sandals for weeks now...
And, finally, I uber-heart this sweet, ruffled lingerie

Have a happy Monday!

12 Things

Hello Everyone! It's Alicia. I am so thrilled to be here today. (Thank you Mrs. French!) Normally, I am daydreaming over at, Bloom, Grow, Love. But, it is certainly exciting to be somewhere new. I love anything that mixes up my daily routine this time of year. Throughout the fall and winter, I am very content in my little office, watching the snow fly. There are whole weekends when I declare it too cold to step outside. But, then suddenly (about the time that little groundhog reminds me there are still 6 weeks of winter), traveling, and drawing big vacation day XXXX's all over my calendar are all I can think about.

For me there is nothing better than...

1. Spontaneous trips, the kind where you say "let's just drive until we get tired and then get a hotel room", until at 3:oo a.m. you realize the closest town is 80 miles away, the rooms are full, and you have to sleep in the car.
2. Going somewhere there is a time change, so you can frequently refer to what time it would be at home, and why you are lucky to be away.3. The judging of the best food of the area... the best pizza in Chicago, the best clam chowder on the coast, the best fudge on Mackinac.
4. Returning home with a large stack of Polaroids. No need to take the film in to get developed or sort through digital files later.
5. Convertible, top down, driving Hwy. 101
6. Early cocktail hour.
7. Guidebooks that are worn before the trip begins.
8. The night before the flight.
9. Driving south until the air is scented with orange blossoms.
10. New "vacation" clothes packed in your suitcase, ready to be worn for the first time.
11. A little campground on the beach, where the stars are as bright as you have ever seen.
12. Coming home to your own bed.

What about you: What makes you want to pack your bags? Where do you go?
xoxo- A.
