Salon du Jour: BLISS

On a recent trip to Bucks County I spied this artistically merchandised shop window full of jewel-bedecked mannequins, purses and watches, and just had to pop in.

Once inside, I was immediately transported to another time, when a trip to the Salon didn't refer to your crowning glory but a special shopping expedition to an elegant Ladies Boutique.  This is what awaits you when you enter Bliss.



Owner Hillary Benzel

Showcase after showcase brims with an eclectic assortment of modern romantic accessories, allowing your imagination to wander until, for a moment, you could easily believe you are standing in some chic Parisian atelier of a not-yet-discovered designer.  You'll find sterling silver and fashion jewelry, handbags, clutches, shoes, hats, belts, and scarves.  The most amazing discovery was that, posh elegance aside, prices were well within even the most modest of budgets. 

There was just so much temptation, I couldn't leave without a little trinket.  This pumpkin leather rose ring will be just the perfect update to my closet classics!

Bliss is located at 19B West Bridge Street in historic New Hope, Pennsylvania.  Their hours are 11:00-6:00.  Directions can be found on their website, or by calling (215) 862-9994.

The Holidays are coming...after satisfying your gift list, why not indulge yourself in a little Bliss.
