A Mother & Daughter Boutique
Nicole Bird
Hi I'm Nicole! My entrepreneurial spirit showed up at a very young age. You could find me selling painted rocks, lemonade, candy, and drawings to my kind neighbors, always dreaming up the next idea. As I got older, the businesses became more creative (and profitable): teaching gymnastics in a friend’s garage, starting a “Krafty Kids Kamp,” and, much to my parents’ dismay, running a full-scale carnival in my backyard.
In college, I became a world record holder for presales at Clinique, all while pregnant with Madison. We like to joke that was the beginning of her own impressive sales career. After Madison was born, I stepped into my most important role as a full-time mom. While my business dreams were put on pause, that fire to create something of my own never faded.
With that passion still burning, the stars finally aligned, and here we are. Welcome to my dream come to life.
Madison Bulkley
Hi, I’m Madison! After five years in sales, I made the difficult decision to leave a job I loved so I could spend more time with my baby while still chasing my lifelong dream of starting a business. The stars aligned when my mom, who has always dreamed of owning a boutique, and I realized we could build something together.
I’ve always loved style that feels easy but still makes you feel confident and put together. I believe in romanticizing your life, living every day like it’s special, almost like a little holiday. For me, one of the simplest ways to do that is wearing cute outfits that make me excited to get dressed each morning. That feeling is at the heart of Blakely Rose. When I’m not curating new arrivals, you’ll probably find me trying a new hobby, solving a puzzle, cooking something new, or getting creative with a craft project.
Being a mom and running a boutique isn’t always easy, between nap times, meals, and keeping life moving, it’s a constant balancing act, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
