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. 

Sincerely,

Jungle Fever

So I’ve been listening to Beyoncé’s latest album The Lion King: The Gift and have been loving the African beats. I love the international undertone of the album as the music takes me somewhere outside of the U.S. I was reminded of this photo shoot I did some time ago. I guess you can say I have jungle fever. Anyway, what’s your favorite song on the album and have you seen the movie yet?

Sincerely,

Summer Casual: African Print Jumper at the MTV VMAs 2013 Song of the Summer Celebration with Jason Derulo and Timeflies

This week I attended one of the MTV VMA Song of Summer Celebration Concerts with Jason Derulo and Timeflies at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Summer casual was the name of the game as the summer heat made its way ‘back’ to the city. I did my favorite Bebe African Print jumper and Christian Louboutin metallic heels and it was great because it was really hot out!

I met stylists and photographers Rachel and Nicole. Rachel was wearing this great Topshop Motel Skirt I’ve seen everywhere. Anyway, MTV has been doing these concerts all through the week with celebrities like Ciara and Robin Thicke. Are you excited for the VMAs?

This week I stopped by the Milk Gallery for Jonathan Mannion’s Rough Around the Edges Photography Exhibit Opening Reception. Mannion is most known for his iconic Hip Hop photography: the portraits of DMX covered in blood for “Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood,” Ludacris’ “Back For the First Time” album cover, Jay Z’s “Reasonable Doubt,” Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s “Ni**a Please,” and more. Amazingly, his work was done with a Polaroid camera.

The DJ was absolutely amazing and kept the crowd rocking while the crowd sipped to Ciroc cocktails and Red Stripe beer. The crowd was also decked out in their most fashionable summertime party gear and I met a few interesting people. Model Stevie Finedore (pictured below) wore a black and white dress, I saw lots of cutouts and crop tops, and other summer essentials like maxi dresses, rompers and printed pants. Check out photos of what they wore and more of Mannion’s photography below. The exhibit is on until July 9th so check it out!
