A mother is the woman you look up to. The one who guides you and listens to you as you share your thoughts and feelings with her. The one who supports and loves you through life’s ups and downs. The mother-figure who loves you unconditionally – and who is there for you no matter what.
Yet Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be reserved only for the woman who’s raised us, as it can also be a joyous day to celebrate the mother-figures who have inspired and shaped us as well.
These women can be your stepmother, godmother, a mentor, aunty, sister or best-friend – someone that simply continues to uplift you with some joie de vivre throughout your life’s journey.
This month at Blue Illusion, we invite you to celebrate your Maman in style with a précieux Blue Illusion gift, or with the whimsical collection of our featured French artist Nathalie Lété, who’s artistry elicits a love of nature, vintage objets, and an avant-garde aesthetic made with love.
