childhood favorite: modern day madeline.


one of my favorite books & movies as a child was "madeline." my sister & i both dressed up as her for halloween (that's me at 3!) & it was one of the most requested bedtime stories at our house. now, 18 years later, i still have a love for all things madeline. her bright coats & hats, her strong attitude, the house covered in vines & of course, her life in paris, are the things i love the most about madeline. here's what i believe a modern day madeline would love.
this yellow fedora from gabriella rocha is the perfect modern update to madeline's yellow hat.

the bright cobalt blue dress with the peter pan collar by chetta b is reminiscent of madeline's jacket. perfect for a stroll around paris.
instead of a red ribbon around your neck, try bright red lips in "sheer poppy red" by nars.
madeline wasn't afraid of the tiger at the zoo, & now she can wear him on her shoe, like in these classic betsey johnson flats!
the perfect cookie jar from urban outfitters to keep macarons in!
merci notecards from jess lc are a sweet way to say hello to friends.
if you have to get your appendix removed like madeline had to, these macaron pill boxes from shop ruche, are perfect to store your pain pills.
