Make Your New Year’s Resolution Work for You
The first few weeks of a new year is a great time for self-reflection and reinvention. The new year brings hope for change, a clean break from the past, and the promise of new beginnings. But we’ve got a bone to pick with the current state of new year’s resolutions. While we’re always in favor…
Three Lessons Learned from LVR’s First Year
This month marks the one-year anniversary of La Vie en Rose, and to call our first year a whirlwind would be an understatement. We’ve learned so much, met so many, and feel eternally grateful for our place in the community. So while it’s been a whirlwind, it’s been one of the best kind. To celebrate…
You Deserve the Life You’ve Worked for
Modern women are known for wearing all the hats – from wife and mom to entrepreneur and boss, and everywhere between.

An Ode to Moms Past, Present and Future
Few words illicit the same response as “mom.” She’s our first love, our ultimate caretaker, and unequivocally our biggest fan. Whether she’s a birth mom, adoptive mom, mother figure, mentor, mom to fur babies or a mom who’s no longer with us, we think the ladies out there all deserve some love. And since Mother’s…

We recently had a birthday in the boutique (though we won’t name names), and it got us talking about getting older. After the fact, we realized the term “anti-aging” kept coming up. That pervasive idea has infiltrated everything from TV ads about the latest potion meant to reverse your wrinkles to Pinterest feeds claiming you…
“Follow your dream, even if you’re the only one who believes it”
La Vie en Rose boutique opened in Wyandotte in October of 2017 with owner and founder Megan Boardman at the helm. She opened the store for many reasons, not the least of which was to enrich the town she loves so much. “I feel like Wyandotte fits the vibe that I’m trying to create in the…

Four Fashion Rules Meant for Breaking
We’ve all heard the cliches – no white after labor day, dress your age, match your belt and shoes. But we live in a new world now, one where we believe in fashion that makes you feel good rather than fashion that follows the rules. To help you push boundaries and create your own set…
