{mother's day gift guide}

I can't believe Mother's Day is this Sunday already... May is already flying by! Whether you're celebrating a mom who has a puppy, baby, plant, or purse (haha) today's all about those awesome women in your life. Celebrate by going out to brunch with your girls or taking your mom to get a manicure. There's always a gift out there for every age and in every price range! As usual, it's always the thought that counts :) right?! I'm sure the best gift for new moms would be a nice long nap!!

Happy Mother's Day, moms! Thanks for showering everyone around you with love and always putting others over yourself. Today is your day to be pampered and showered with love!

Love Always,

{gift guide: under $50}

Finding great Christmas gifts under $50 doesn't have to be impossible. I've rounded up some of my favorite finds - a lot of them tried and trued by yours truly! 

Psst - this board is shoppable! Simply click on the item you want to shop!

Face Masks // The perfect stocking stuffer! Every girl loves to treat themselves and for a price like this you can stuff those stockings full!

Mini Capri Blue Candle // Good looking and one of the most decadent smells. At $12 this is a great gift for coworkers or a teacher you couldn't have passed without.

Loren Hope Studs // I love anything Loren Hope creates. Her simple studs in emerald green (and lots of other colors) are the perfect way to dress up a holiday look in a subtle way. Plus, sparkle is always a good idea!

Acrylic Tray // I've had my acrylic "catch all" tray for a couple of years now. It's the perfect personalized gift that can be used all over the house.

Rose Gold Mantra Bracelet // For the girl who loves quotes and simple jewelry. They have tons of different sayings - it's the perfect reminder for a special friend in your life.

Turquoise Ring // My absolute obsession in ring form. If you have a friend that loves turquoise and sparkle then add this to the top of your gift list!

Woven Straw Baseball Hat // This goes without saying - not every girl loves to receive jewelry. This is a fun twist on the classic ball cap that can be worn year round. Because every girl has a bad hair day they want to hide!

Black Watch Plaid Travel Case // Perfect for the travel lover in your life - add a monogram and it's the perfect personalized gift.

Crispin Drop Earrings // The trendiest earring of the moment right now!

Voluspa Candle Pack // Christmas candles at a great price? Yes, please! Voluspa is one of my favorite candle brands - they burn clean and are so fragrant.

Silver Clutch // A fun combination of leather and suede all for a great price. This cute clutch comes in three other colors too! What a great addition to any cocktail dress or date night look.

Plaid Infinity Scarf // I mean it's a scarf... can you ever have too many?! :)

Love Always,

When it comes to Mother's Day I always think feminine and lush... you want to pamper her and make her feel a little more special than usual! Think about what you would like to receive and then personalize it for your mom! My mom rarely shops or treats herself to something nice so a new purse, a decadent candle, her favorite perfume, or a necklace she can wear every day would make a great gift. You don't have to spend a fortune - pretty gilded notebooks to write down her to-do list, a little copper bunny to hold her ring while she washes her hands, a simple yet elegant frame with a photo of the two of you, or new pillowcase covers to liven up her bedroom for spring. The best part about Mother's Day? Simply spending time with her will be a gift enough (sounds cheesy but trust me, that's all she really wants)!

Don't forget to send her a card if you aren't close to home! She can keep it on her desk at work or by her nightstand and think of you :) simple, thoughtful words can mean the most.

Love Always,
