Noelle went up to help Ella Bella owner, Kara, and me with a really fun Saturday event to get the party going at the store last weekend.  I put feathers in girls’ hair, Kara had punch and cookies, and tons of blow-out sales!  I shopped every time I was in between customers!  It was just such a fun day playing in the store and watching to see how Kara makes the magic happen.  We had a blast.  Noelle asked how much longer, and I said, “Two more hours.” and then she immediately got a big smile on her face and said, “YES!”  She loved every minute of being up there in the fashion action.  She started greeting people at the door and welcoming them to come on it.  Kara says she’s a natural.  One thing’s for sure, all things fashion, is what is Noelle’s passion.  Kara is such a wonderful mentor and friend to Noelle about her future endeavors, possibly one day, as a fashion designer/buyer/seller… all of that good stuff. 

For today, Noelle asked me text Kara beforehand to wear a bubble necklace but not to tell her N was going to have one on too!  So, when we got to the store, Kara and Noelle were so happy to see their matching necklaces and Noelle said, “I wanted us to match.  I wanted to be like you!”  I hope Noelle continues to grow in wisdom, gentleness, and faith that Kara exudes in her life and her store.  They make a pretty good fashion team!  Shop Ella Bella, especially over tax free weekend, for back to school or just something fun and festive for fall.  You can check them out online too at www.arlingtonellabella.com  If you’ve ever seen an outfit of our girls on the blog that you’ve really liked, it most likely came from Ella Bella!!!
