Mother's Day Gift Guide

Can you believe it's almost May?! I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.

The month of May means Mother's Day- May 11th is coming up fast, which means it's time to start thinking about how you're going to show your appreciation to your amazing mother. 

Sometimes we all have trouble finding the perfect gift for mom- not because moms are hard to shop for but because they are so important to us that the gift has to be just right. Here's a few gift ideas for every type of mom and all kinds of budgets:

1. The 'Forever Busy' Mom

Perfect gifts for moms who are always on the go:

 May Books- Daily planners, journals, calorie trackers, address books and more // Lori Leigh Travel Jewelry Case // Kindle Paperwhite // Mophie Portable Phone Charger // Michael Kors Watch

Others: Gigi New York Personalized Phone Case // Gigi New York To-Do List  // Kate Spade iPad Cover // Pink Garden Tools Set

2. The 'Chef/Entertainer'

For moms who always seem to be in the kitchen or hosting get togethers with friends:

 Kitchen-aid Mixer // Griddle/Panini Press // Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible // Bar Gadget Set // Labeled Seasoning Rack 

 Others: Frigidaire 8 Bottle Wine Cellar // Margaritaville Frozen Drink Maker // Stackable Wine Rack //  Electric Wine Bottle Opener

3. The 'Healthy' Mom

 For the mother who prioritizes fitness and healthy living:

 Nutribullet // Fit Bit- Activity and sleep tracker // Nike Featherlite Dri Fit Cap // Bose Sport Headphones // Flip Belt- The best way for her to store phone/keys on a run or at the gym

Others: Perfect Portions Food Scale // Nike Running Shirt // Muscle Therapy Foam Roller // Yoga Mat

4. Classic Gifts for Mom 

Not sure what category she fits into? These classic gifts will please any mom:

Medellin Tote // Bath Caddy // Tory Burch Robinson Continental Wallet // UGG 'Nala' Slipper // Kate Spade New York Seaport Pearl Studs // Tory Burch Perfume Gift Set // James Avery Heart Knot Bracelet // Nator 'Nirvana' Robe

Most moms will agree that Mother's Day is not about how much you spend or what you get them as much as it's about the gesture of appreciation and being together. However, I highly doubt she'll complain about receiving any of the items on this list ;)

Floral Frenzy

It's no secret that floral is BIG right now and always is this time of year- it's a Spring classic.

 

 I love a good floral print and luckily I've found tons of bright, flowery options that are just calling my name this season:

Don't be shocked if you see me in a few of these items soon. Those jeans with the light floral pattern? Need. I've also got my eye on that adorable swim suit top and may or may not already be on the waiting list for that blue maxi. It almost looks like a Lilly Pulitzer print and for that price? Yeah. Needs to be mine.

I'm excited to announce that I will be teaming up with toADORN for my next outfit post. toADORN is an adorable boutique deals site (similar to the ones I talked about in my 'Sites to Know' post), so be on the look out for that soon! I also have a huuuge Mother's Day Gift Guide that I'll be posting soon as well.

 

 

I hope y'all had as great of an Easter weekend as I did! I'll be spending the next couple of days trying to wean myself off of chocolate bunnies and also break in the Tory Burch Reva flats that I bought during last week's SHOPBOP sale ;)

Thanks for reading!

Spring Casual

I spent my Sunday eating sushi and running some errands in this simple eyelet ensemble.

 

White and turquoise has always been a favorite color combination of mine.

I can already tell that this top will be a Summer staple for me.
I can't wait to pair it with colorful chinos and a pair sandals.

 

I love that the strappy design of these wedges are met with a low-heel-

It makes them both eye-catching and understated. 

 

 

 

 

 Top: Old Navy // Denim: Old Navy // Wedges: Dress Up Boutique // Sunnies: Karen Walker Inspired
Earrings: Kendra Scott // Monogrammed Necklace: Marley Lilly // Tassel Bracelet: StyleThisLife  // Lip Color: Revlon Color Burst 'Showy Flamboyante'

  White eyelet is a perfect color and pattern for both Spring and Summer and the turquoise accessories complement it so well. I paired this adorable eyelet top with distressed denim and my absolute favorite wedges right now.

Let me just take a second to explain my obsession with these Kendra Scott earrings. If you follow me on Instagram you've already seen them a few times and let me just apologize now because I cannot stop wearing them. Obsessed. Such a good purchase!

PS-  How sassy are those Karen Walker inspired sunnies?! I had to throw them in because- 1. They're only $6, 2. I love them & 3. Although I love designer sunnies, it is completely necessary to have a few cheap pairs that you won't cry over if they get broken or lost.

I'm sorry for my leap of absence last week! You can blame the flu for that one. 

Now that I'm feeling like a human being again, regular posts will resume :)

Sale Alert!

Y'all... Target is currently having a buy one get one 50% off all shoes and women's handbags online.

It's basically a known fact that Target always has the best sandals and this year is no different-





Target is, once again, on top of their sandal and wedge game and has also really stepped it up lately when it comes to bags and accessories, so this sale is a big deal- and worth a little emergency post ;)

 PS- This has been going on for a little while now so I'm not sure how much longer it will last. AKA- Don't wait!

Today's realization: Target sales are a beautiful thing. But can also be dangerous. Like wild animals.


Hope y'all have a great weekend!
