Luxury Silk Loungewear

 

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. So, depending on where you are, some things in your town have probably started opening up. Coronavirus or not, I find myself still staying home for the most part. And, sometimes I put on a cute outfit but other times, I’m in my pajamas. Red Valentino and Ciao Lucia have some cute luxury silk loungewear available for pre-order on ModaOperandi. We’re all in the house so why not splurge on some nice silk pajamas?

Proenza Schouler Masks for Mayor’s Fund

So I started wearing a mask to go out and run errands amidst the global coronavirus pandemic. And, as a New Yorker, my heart goes out to the essential workers and vulnerable people of the city. Proenza Schouler is supporting the relief efforts in the city with seven limited edition masks made from archival collection fabric. 100% of the net proceeds are being donated to the New York City Mayor’s Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund. So you can be cute, protect yourself and help the situation in New York at the same time. See more below!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

So, Mother’s Day is May 10 and quickly approaching us. Although most of us can’t take our mom out to brunch, we can definitely still make it a special day for mom! I came across a few cute gift ideas, check them out below.

1. Johanna Ortiz High-Rise Linen Pants– These pants are perfect for the spring/summer. They’re cute, airy and linen. Mom might love these.

2. Bose SoundLink Bluetooth Speaker– We are all spending more time at home during this coronavirus quarantine, why not gift mom a great speaker so she can relax outside with her favorite music?

 

3. Skims Shapewear– We all could use a little shapewear to get in that dress. Try gifting Skims Shapewear to mom, she might really appreciate it!

 

4. Makeup Mirror with Brightness Control– this makeup mirror turns on automatically as your face approaches and moms love a good face beat!

 

5. Bottega Veneta Jodie Handbag– Splurge on mom and gift her this gorgeous handbag! The bag comes in three different colors too.

Self-Care during Stressful Times

So, a lot going on right now. It’s important during stressful times to take care of yourself even if it’s a really small thing that you do. Yesterday, I jogged in the park with my dog and it was an absolutely gorgeous day in Florida. It helped to unplug a bit and enjoy nature. So I thought making a list of things you can do to “self-care” during these times might be helpful.

  1. Take some time off from watching the news and other media
  2. Go jogging or walking in the nearest park
  3. If you’re creative, take some time to paint or sketch. You can do this with the whole family.
  4. Take a bubble bath
  5. Light a lovely aromatherapy candle. I really like those from Paddywax
  6. Cook or bake something new, this can also be a family activity
  7. Great time for game night in the house with your partner or family

What are some of the ways you’ve been able to cope with everything going on? 

Sincerely,

“Fashionably-Late”
