Swedish Egg White Soap Testimonial

"I had made a purchase almost 2 weeks ago and in the order was the famous Swedish Egg White Facial Soap.

As a teen I never had acne. I found in my mid thirties I started to have the worst acne ever and my skin just totally started to dry up and flake. I've tried cream to moisturize....soaps...lotions to help with acne but nothing helped.

I had read rave reviews on this soap and never believed it until I started to use it. It's only been 5 days and my skin is returning to its luster and my acne is clearing up. You're the only site that I've come across that sells this soap singly. That's Awesome. I just wanted to share that with you. Thank you for your time."

The LTB Wedding Season Survival Guide

Wedding bells are ringing! Here are some suggestions from Le Train Bleu to help you enjoy the season.

The Non-traditionalist
No veil. No Bridal Magazine look-alikes. No skirt too long to dance or hop a train in. You’ll wear this one with your grandma’s short crochet gloves (they look perfect with the French lace trim) and a neat gardenia bouquet.


Going away dress: time to run off into the sunset
Now that you’re hitched you’re feeling rather lady-like. Leave the party in this smart Heidi Merrick dress as lovely as a ray-of-sunshine.

The Bride and Groom may take the presents but you can take the cake
Cakewalk perfumed candle from D.L. & Co. Long after the bride and groom have left the party you’ll still be kicking up your heels in a cloud of Madagascar vanilla and chicory.

The Best Dressed Guest
The Fleur Wood Field of Flowers dress is perfectly perfect for attending just about any wedding, whether in a chapel or in a back yard. Not for shrinking violets—the wedding photographer will be following you around all day.

Sweet Memories
An enduring sweet—Flavigny Pastilles are the very first candy confection ever made, dating back to 1591. A perfect keepsake and memento for those in your wedding party adorned with a romantic, pastoral illustration.

A dress for the beach-bound bride
The Madame Tirocchi Dress from objets trouvés is elegant and unfussy: an artful silk dress with a delicate hand-drawn white-on-white design resembling sea urchins.


An endearing gift
The lovely couple will think of you every time they fill this pretty vase with flowers in the years to come. Definitely better than the chip and dip set.

For your ladies in waiting
They curled your hair making you into a pageant queen for a day. They even danced with your drunk uncle Marv. It's payback time--here's a start.


A warm honeymoon destination calls!
The show’s over and now it’s time to bear your shoulders in the sun and practice saying “My husband…”

Hitchcock Dress Testimonial

Hi-

I just received the Suzabelle "Hitchcock Dress" in the mail and I just had to send you an email to compliment you on this find! It fits perfectly and looks really fantastic. More than that, the copy on the website touting all the details for the reasonable price was right-on.

Thank you for your great work!

Best,

Kelly

Le Train Bleu named "Top Shop" by The Washington Post

Saks.com, target.com, and...letrainbleu.com?!

Whoa, weird! I'm still rubbing my eyes in disbelief but somehow Le Train Bleu made it onto Instyle's Top 20 Online Shopping Sites amongst big guys like Saks, Target, JCrew, and Bergdorf Goodman. It was nearly 5 years ago when I launched the site out of my studio apartment with zero retail experience and nearly the same amount of money and I never in my wildest dreams imagined this day. It's a true testament to how the internet has vastly changed the world of fashion retail.

What I'm really proud of is the "Best for" category that they bestowed upon us. It wasn't Budget Bags (that was Target), or Beach Accessories (that was JCrew), but best for Under the Radar Designers. Another win for the little guy!

What they said about Letrainbleu.com:
It's that little boutique where you want everything--from the retro-print tops to the ruffle-knit dresses. Many sites feature emerging designers--Revolveclothing.com and Kaightnyc.com--but nowhere are the items as lovingly chosen as on the Web outpost of Le Train Bleu, a Portland-based boutique named after an early 20th-century ballet with Chanel costumes and a Picasso backdrop. You might not recognize designers like Heimstone and Eskell, but rest assured your fashionista friends will be jealous.
