When I was 3 year's old on Santa's lap, I doubt I was dreaming of becoming a boutique owner, but I did have an imagination that was off the charts. I remember thinking I'd become a writer, a model, a movie star... sky was the limit. Never in my wildest dreams did I think they could all co-exist by owning an online store that would allow me to pivot into each of these personas "as required."
2023 is a bittersweet year. Closing our brick and mortar felt so heavy on my heart for so many months. I so appreciate those of you that took advantage of our 70% off closing sale and came out and supported our decision to pivot away from a store in Sumner, to become a store for the USA. Our online sales overtook the retail location about mid year through once we learned the value of online advertising and discovered TikTok Shop among other avenues. Some of our biggest customers come from Florida, Texas, the midwest, and New York! Though I will miss our employees and other store owners, I realize that I can find other ways to connect and broaden our customer circle through social media, blogging and spreading the message of affordable, quality clothing, for all body types.
Going completely online allows us to add some amazing new lines to our portfolio. Let's start with our new footwear line. Can I just say our boots are amazing!! One of my favorite new brands is Oasis Society. Truly amazing shoes that are on trend and high quality. We've also added some cozy slippers that are next level of fun and softness.
Another line I'm super excited about is our hemp, bamboo, recycled cotton line by Fabina. High quality materials that feel amazing next to your skin in flattering styles that take you from casual to evening with a few accessories and easy basics that travel easily and take up little room in the suitcase. We're obsessed with their color palette that literally goes with everything.
Our best selling brands are now easier to find on the site and we're so excited to show you our website makeover in the next few weeks! If you haven't gotten to know Zenana, Flying Monkey, Risen, La Miel, Listicle, Le Lis, Gilli, or Judy Blue... you are missing out! These brands are on trend, affordable, and absolutely gorgeous!
Haven't checked out our accessories lately? Our new bags will wow you, jewelry amaze you, and we've added some fun new items for you to discover. Check it out!
Last but not least, our home decor will be everything in 2024. We're so excited for some new product lines and of course our VERY French Country collection that draws people in from all over the US. We'll be sharing some lives with amazing DIYs and a new section on the site of home made items that bring you a little bit of ETSY with easy to do projects and all the things you need to complete them.
So what's in store for 2024? An amazing transformation of My Pampered Life Seattle! Get to know us, and embrace a positive and beautiful new you...
