It’s almost time to put away the beach bags and take out the lunch boxes, because the new school year is just around the corner. By now you’ve likely received your back to school shopping lists for supplies – the long list filled with pencils, notebooks and calculators galore. However, we’re not here to talk about that boring albeit necessary shopping list. We’re here to talk with you about something a little more fun – the cutest back to school fashions for your little ones.
You want to dress like a boss, but you’re operating on a non-boss income level. How do you determine where to invest so that your wardrobe presents your best you, while not going into debt or having a closet full of “stuff” that you don’t really need?
Here at Dandelion Chandelier, our phones have been blowing up for the past week with communiques about the new spring-summer 2018 merchandise that is already available for purchase. Begone, bomb cyclone! Away with you, polar vortex! The sub-zero temperatures, howling winds and snow drifts of January cannot keep warmer temperatures at bay forever. And as always, fashion leads the way, giving us the first harbingers of spring just when we desperately need them. Just looking at the new accessory collections has totally lifted our moods this week – the bags alone have us whistling a happy tune.

The Dandelion Chandelier Luxury Shopping List is our monthly overview of the essential items to have on your acquisition radar right now – what they are, and where to get them.

Not cheap, but a whole lot more affordable – and they’re available …
