Olivine: Luxe Living
In 5 Words: Bedding, Accoutrement, Layette, Baby-Couture, Pamperings
“Là, tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté, Luxe, calme et volupté”
- Charles Baudelaire, nineteenth century French poet
“There, all is just order and beauty, luxury, peace, and sensual delight.”
There are some retail boutiques that are so inviting; so fetching and intoxicatingly beautiful that husbands everywhere absolutely shudder to know that their wives are even aware of the shop’s existence. Like a Siren’s song these rare boutiques carry a consumer appeal that is so enticing, purchasing is nearly impossible to resist, and I should know. Nestled in the heart of Rice Village is one such place; a place where romantic glamour and elegance meets relaxed comfort and impeccable style; a place where anyone who has ever savored the essence of French living can bring a touch of Provence into their own home.
