La Vie Est Belle

"LOVE this store! The home goods are SO cute and the service cannot be beat! PLUS...the mission of supporting mental health makes it all even better. Would highly recommend!"

"Everywhere you turn in La Vie Est Belle, you find something to love. Kristin’s boutique is classy and sophisticated, yet fun and whimsical. You should see it during the fall and Christmas holidays! The story behind this shop and its passion for giving back and advocating for children’s mental healthy is heartwarming (and heartbreaking) and inspiring. Pick up a copy of Kristin’s book, Finding Us, “A Mother’s Memoir of Braving Mental Illness with Her Young Daughter.” Shop online but you must stop in when you’re in the Lake Elmo area. Ask about the Giving Bear. And check out their event calendar. So much fun!"

"We needed a last minute gift, and Kristin went above and beyond to make sure we had a gift basket ready within our short time window. She's a joy to work with!"

"Love this store so much! Such a warm and inviting atmosphere-it's like walking into a hug. They owner is lovely and makes every experience special. So glad to have something like this in Lake Elmo-clothes, jewelry, home decor and gifts-it's a one stop shop!"

"When I walked into La Vie Est Belle on 12/8/22, I knew I would enjoy my visit. This cute gift shop was full of so many different "things". There were various types of candles that smelled so great. Jewelry galore (earrings, bracelets, necklaces). Plenty of items to hang on your walls that were so different from anything I've ever seen. T-shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, etc. Pillows, Christmas ornaments, & so much more. The owner of this store was so nice and invited you in with a friendly smile. You just have to visit La Vie Est Belle in Lake Elmo, MN. I will definitely be back!"
