Get Your Bag On: Mapel’s 40% Off Handbag Sale!
May 12.11 / Lindsay
Sometimes, when you’re least expecting it, amazing sales just jump right out of the internet and bite you. This is a phenomenon that I am completely comfortable with and highly advocate. Today’s “biter” was from Pacific NW indie boutique, Mapel (who we’ve only written about, oh, 496 times due to their fabulously edited inventory), and [...]
Champagne Lace
Dec 15.09 / Lindsay
In a season wherein we examine the idea of “guilt” from every perspective, a little easy-free shopping feels really, really good. I received an email from Staci at Mapel screaming (adorably) “USE YOUR STORE CREDIT!” While I knew that Mapel had wicked inventory, I’ve been in a period for the last month or so of [...]
Dressing Up With… Mapel
Sep 08.09 / Lindsay
Mapel, who recently took the Seattle fashion scene by storm last weekend at the Boutique Culture event, has finally put the proverbial cherry on top of their New Fall Items sundae. From the looks of things, a Mapel autumn appears to be structural, slightly minimalist, but with ultra-cozy, knit-induced warmth. Like a really pretty cup [...]
Welcome to Wedding Season
Jul 15.09 / Lindsay
I’ve been fortunate not to have to attend any scorching hot wedding ceremonies this year.

Honestly, I think I might actually miss attending [...]
Mapel Just Got Worse…

… for our bank accounts, that is. Not only were they basically giving away handbags all last week, as a part of their killer “Happy Hour” program, but they’ve picked up some awesome, affordable new brands, too. If you’re unfamiliar, Mapel’s Happy Hour is every day from 2pm – 6pm PST. Each day they have [...]
I’m Wearing: Weekend Casual (+ New Toys!)
May 26.09 / Lindsay
Since I’ve been slacking on the outfit posts, I figured I’d just come out blazing (AHAHA, PUN! You’ll see why.) and offer up my new toys for your viewing pleasure. Well, hopefully, anyway. I’ve been craving this elusive item called a “Boyfriend Blazer” for months now. My coats are all trench-like, and with summer on [...]

Oh, Mapel – You Shouldn’t Have!
Mar 26.09 / Lindsay
Mapel, the ever-gift-bearing online store based in Leavenworth, WA, has struck our heartstrings again. After the beautiful lace bag incident, I woke up to find a e-mail sitting in my inbox with – brace yourself – a very generous offer: All Broke & Beautiful readers are to receive 20% off ANYTHING AT MAPEL. That includes [...]
