MOMMAS WANT… great mothers day gifts

Whatever I get from my little one for Mother’s Day I will treasure forever… I’m hoping it starts with a hug.

May 11th is just around the corner so it’s time to start thinking about Mothers Day gifts. Whether you’re shopping for your mom, sister, friend or even for yourself (let’s face it men and babies need a little help with these things) I will help with the mission! Mothers Day gifts don’t have to be extravagant but they don’t have to be thoughtless either – it’s time to show the mommas out there how much you care. Sentimentality goes a long way, so the key is to get something that they can look at and feel a connection. It could be personal jewels or art, something funny or just something that you can enjoy together, but this is the time to show appreciation for all these incredible ladies do all year round. Check out some great Mothers Day gift to put a smile on Mom’s face (PS – ladies feel free to pass this on to the gentleman who need some assistance)!

SHOP THE LOOK SUNDAY… how to wear the ladylike look

The ladylike look is all about polish. It’s about being pretty, feminine but also grown up and pulled together.

This week’s shop the look Sunday is all about showing you hot to wear boho trends in a modern and practical way. Over the week I covered tie dye and harem pants which references the 60′s era hippie but in a totally modern way. The key to how to wear boho trends is to not to go all in with the hippie references and pair the pieces with more structured, feminine and simple options. Taking these bohemian trends and translating them from desk to date and from the park to brunch means making them wearable. Never go head to toe boho as this can look costume-y and dated always opt for clean lines and find a balance in your overall look. Tone down the hippie with feminine, modern even a bit of edge or glam in order to keep the look contemporary and current. I’ve also included some suggestions for how to wear boho trends from desk to date and the park to brunch where everything in the look costs less than $100. Dressing well is easy – keeping a look chic and on budget can be a challenge. Check out some of my suggestions and having (guilt-free) fun shopping this Sunday!
