Nana and Mommy: Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Hey there, how are you? So Mother’s Day is coming up soon on May 12th and although I am not yet a Mom, it’s precious to give birth to someone else. I hear it’s the kind of love that you just won’t have for anyone else. I used to spend summers wth my grandmother in Florida and we had the best of times. I miss her dearly and am lucky enough to still have my mom. There’s no one like a Mom. 

 

So, are you planning anything special? Whether you are buying for your wife, sister, daughter or your own Mom, above are some great gift ideas. Nordstrom has plenty of other gifts here. Make sure to enjoy the time you have with your mom, grandmother or great-grandmother. You just never know what might happen and you might miss them for a lifetime. Below is my grandmother or Nana, as I used to call her. She’s looking down on me now. Anyway, enjoy Mother’s Day!

Good morning! Have you been watching the fashion month shows? I couldn’t help but notice the floral trend on the runway. Yes, April showers bring may flowers but it’s defintely present on the runway along with the see-through trend. And I see plus-size is being included more and more as well.

I’ve always liked flowers as I used to help my mom plant tulips at my house in Washington, D.C. We also had a cherry blossom tree that would just be gorgeous right around my birthday. Check out my artwork shop, especially my recent Flowers Everyday painting.

Anyway, check out more from the runways below!

Gucci Mystic Cat T-Shirt

While some are dealing with snow, I’ve been enjoying sunny South Florida. While there is definitely not as much to do as New York (and I definitely miss the city sometimes), I welcome the change of pace. Palm Beach is really beautiful and there’s nothing like a good t-shirt and jeans combo when to hang around town. I saw this Gucci Mystic Cat T-shirt on FARFETCH and the sequined cat just got me. I absolutely love this shirt and they go great with my Zara ripped jeans (similar here) and blue Marc Jacobs handbag. The shirt is actually sold out but there’s several other cute ones.

    

I also wore this interlaced Gucci ring that I adore as well- a pineapple, a monkey and an emerald. Check out photos of the ring and more below and if you’re up north, consider a trip to sunny Florida for a break!
