Please excuse our little absence from our blog. We had our wonderful event with Astier de Villatte- thank you all so much for coming, for your orders and all your enthusiasm. It is a special book indeed and we were so happy to have Benoît and Ivan come to Tucson to sign them and meet so many of you! Right after the event, I shipped out all the preorders and hopped on a plane for my family summer trip and am just getting settled. My mom is running the shop for a while and I am working from France :) I brought my copy of Ma Vie A Paris to discover some places I haven't been to before. It's been fun to try out some of Ivan and Benoît's favorite places :) The first day we were here, we were on a bus headed to Le Marais and we passed by the fantastic neon sign for the detective that's recommended in the book. I had never noticed that before and was delighted to see DETECTIVE in green neon lights hanging from a beautiful old building. I have had further stories about this detective- quite intriguing!
Orders are being shipped with their regular time schedule at the shop. We've added a few new pieces online... and we're showing a few pieces above that are at the shop, but not online. There are the wonderful floral overalls from Pip Squeak Chapeau. We show them in the first photo with a favorite sleeveless shirt from Apunto b. This shirt is also shown in the second picture. It is very lightweight and has gathering all along the front and back neckline. It is so easy and comfortable to wear. This shirt is not online, but available at the shop :) Also shown is a fantastic pleated wrap skirt by Apunto b. If you've ever had a skirt by Apunto b., you know how beautifully they fit. This one is no exception- it is very flattering on. We show it with a navy blue cotton cashmere cardigan and brown patent repettos with a high rise. In the last two photos, we show a fantastic shirt from Pip Squeak Chapeau. This has gathering along the neck and silver piping lining the collar and going down one side of the front. This has a nice oversized fit and is made of a beautiful Japanese cotton.
Our hours at the shop stay the same for Summer- 9 to 5 Monday through Saturday, 10 to 3 on Sunday. If you have any questions about anything you see but that is not available directly online, feel free to call our shop or send us an email - 520-795-2272, bonboutique@gmail.com

Our friends from North Sea Air just sent us their beautiful new short film coinciding with the release of Ma Vie A Paris by Astier de Villatte, and we are so happy to be able to share it here with you. We have shared a different video from them that is absolutely delightful, and this is no different. This features Benoît and Ivan, founders of Astier de Villatte on a tour around their city... it goes along with their new edition to Ma Vie a Paris (which we have been posting about and will be celebrating on Saturday)... it's like your most cherished, stylish, quirky friends sharing their favorite places with you. It's not a tour guide... it's a key that unlocks the magic. We think it is so wonderful that they are sharing all of this with all of us. Many would see this coveted information as worthy of secret keeping. But lucky us! We all have access to the places they would visit for all sorts of reasons- whether it's to take a life drawing class, go to a dentist ... or find the most special chocolatier or boutique.
You can see more on the Astier de Villatte website- here and on their instagram here

The Fold Magazine asked us a few questions about being a mother-daughter team, our interests and what we love most about all of it... if you would like to read the interview, you can see the article here. What an honor- thank you The Fold! Likely, you know this site, but if not it is a wonderful site to explore full of great interviews and inspiring stories :) Our friend Gabriel Flores took the photo above- he takes magnificent photos and you can follow him on instagram at @_gabrielflores.
