We've got a week til Mother's Day and I've got some of the best gift ideas rounded up in today's post. As usual with these gift guides, everything in it is really what I want, lol. It's true, I honestly want every single thing here and I'm really hoping that Steve is paying close attention to this post. Well, actually one of the items is something I'm going to get for my own mom so I guess that particular one doesn't count. But I still think it's a great gift idea and I just had to share.
I talk about each item and why I'm loving them. Hope it helps you in your search for the perfect Mother's Day gift. And remember, when in doubt, flowers and champagne go a long way!
1. Geraniums Long Kimono - I somehow misplaced my floral robe and would love this long kimono one. It's so fun and mood brightening, don't you think?
2. Giraffe & Elephant Scarf - I've been looking for a pink scarf to add to my bags this Spring/Summer and I think this one is just perfect.
3. Macrame Tote - This is THE summer tote every mom needs. Big enough to carry all the things the kiddos need, and totally on-trend.
4. Mama script ring - Kris Nations pieces are statement making in a delicate way and I love that about all the pieces.
5. Aerin Beauty Mediterranean Honeysuckle Perfume - I have the rollerball in this heavenly scent so I'm thinking I might as well ask for a big bottle of it. I'm absolutely in love with this scent, it's all I want to wear and smell.
6. Ultrasonic Cool Mist Aromatherapy Diffuser - I've heard so many good things about aromatherapy diffusers and if it helps with getting good sleep and feeling amazing when I wake up, then I am all for it.
7. Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm - This is another product that I've seen and heard great things about and well this lip product junkie needs to try it out.
8. leMel x The Mama Notes "MAMA" Locket - My friend Caitlin from The Mama Notes created this locket with Shop leMel and it's a sweet gift to give any mama.
9. The Little Market Blush Stripe Apron - Is it crazy that I don't have an apron of my own?? I know, I think it's time to change that. Maybe it'll get me to cook more.
10. The Boss Hot Stuff Ceramic Mug - Do I need to elaborate on this item? I think we all know this mug should be in every cupboard of every mom.
11. Circle Clutch in Supreme - I've been a long time Clare V. fan and this clutch completely stole my heart.
12. The Little Market The Best Mom Candle - You can never go wrong with a candle for mom and if it says The Best Mom on it, then by all means get it.
13. Caitlin Wilson Floral Night Shirt - Recenty, Steve told me I need to up my pjs game. It's true, my pjs need a refreshing and this floral night shirt would be a great start to a new pjs collection.
14. mini Facial Toning Device - I saw this from my friend Jessica from Bare Beauty and anything she shares, I need/want, including this device. As I get older, I am noticing my jawline slowly (or rapidly really) disappearing and I need to stop it from progressing any further.
15. Shutterfly Photo Book - I have been giving photo books as gifts to Steve for Father's Day every year since Cora was born. We don't print out photos any more since everything is digital, so I thought it would be a nice way to have actual photos but in book form. Steve loves getting these as gifts and I love creating them. I recently started making them for my parents and so this year is no exception for Mother's Day.
16. Coral Fireworks Earrings - I think when in doubt, jewelry is the way to go and there's no better way to get a little bold with jewelry then with earrings. These fireworks ones are perfect for Summer too.

The Colony Hotel
I cannot believe it's been over a month since my girls trip to Palm Beach! Going through the photos and writing this post, it just seemed like this happened last week! We had a great time exploring and enjoying Palm Beach, especially since none of us had ever been there before. But I certainly don't think it'll be the last time we'll go there, because it is absolutely one of the prettiest towns ever. All the decor everywhere was so chic and fun, and it just makes me want to re-do my house now.
We spent two nights there and stayed at the Marriott Oceana Palms which is about 25 minutes north of West Palm Beach. It was such a great hotel stay, from the spacious suite we were in, to all of the amenities that the hotel offered (the s'mores bar and daily happy hours!), we couldn't have asked for a better hotel for our trip.
Our friend Lindsey, had done a ton of research for us and found the restaurants we ate at, along with finding out the best places to walk & shop at. She also created an itinerary for us so that we'd be taking advantage of all that Palm Beach has to offer. I highly recommend creating an itinerary when you travel. It makes it so much easier once you get to your destination so you know what to do instead of figuring it out on the spot and wasting precious time. You're the best Linds!
Oh, one thing to note and I don't think I got a photo of it but we had booked massages at The Woodhouse Day Spa as our first activity after landing. And let me tell you, there is nothing like getting a massage at the beginning of a girls trip to really relax you and put you in vacay mode! All of us have children and leaving them is never an easy thing to do, it can be quite anxiety-ridden! But after we all got massages, it was so easy to relax and enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about the kiddos. Self-care in the form of a massage is one of the best ways to relax, I'm such a believer now!
Enough of me talking about it, scroll down to see the photos along with captions!
My airport look! Kept it really comfy in these jeans, sneakers, top, and jacket. And my Celine bag has become my go-to as my travel bag. It's so substantial and can hold so much!
The amazing view from our balcony.
Packed all the essentials. Shop it all here.
All dressed up for our dinner to Cafe Boulud. Wearing one of my favorite dresses, shoes, and earrings at the moment. My earrings and shoes are on major sale right now!
Dinner at Cafe Boulud was amazing! First of all, the decor is absolutely gorgeous. One of the most beautiful restaurants I've ever been to. Secondly, the food and service was top notch. Just breathtaking.
My girls <3

This is what greets you when you walk into The Colony Hotel. Simply perfection.
Ladies who lunch.
I mean, it just doesn't get any prettier than this, right?
So picture perfect.
I need to frame this pic, stat.
This makes me want this wallpaper in my house even more now that I've seen it in person done like this.
Strolling along Worth Avenue to walk off what we ate and to get some shopping in.
We stopped in Roller Rabbit and I fell in love with the whole store! I had never seen their pieces before and I was so glad we popped in here. I still regret not getting this dress.
Dying over this Gucci Sylvie leather mini bag.
This dress and everything else was absolutely stunning, like a work of art.
I took a pic of this in hopes that Steve might be on board to do something like this in our backyard since it's already mossy.
Everywhere you go, you seem to find the prettiest vignettes in Palm Beach. It's all so lush and smells so amazing.
Pit stop at Piccolos for gelato!
Such a gorgeous spot right outside front of Margaux NY.
Stumbled upon a Neely & Chloe trunk show in Margaux NY. They're collection of lady-like handbags is so good!
Dinner at Pizza Al Fresco was so good that this was the only picture I took! We were too busy enjoying ourselves! Oh, and fun tidbit, former Mayor Giuliani was sitting at the table next to us with his wife.
Welcome to The Breakers! We stopped for after dinner drinks and to check out the hotel since it's such a landmark in Palm Beach.
Need to come back during the day to see how spectacular this looks in daylight, right?
Funny story, the random girl who took this for us was a hoot! She took her time snapping pics of us, making sure no one was behind us, all the while making funny comments and making us laugh. Which is why we are grinning so hard here and in all the others that she took.

We are all in luck because there is another great sale happening right now. Bloomindale's is having their Friends & Family Sale and it's so good! Dare I say it's a bit better than the Shopbop sale only because you don't have to spend more to save.
Again, I had to roundup my favorites, and there were a lot. It's a bit risqué, but I've got this Limonata Goddess One Piece in my cart right now. I love the lemon print and the fact that it's a one-piece. And I'm having such a hard time choosing a bag. They're all so perfect for the warmer weather!

It's that time again! Shopbop is having their Spring Sale and it's good as always. There's nothing like seeing cute warm weather pieces to get you ready for Spring even if the weather isn't cooperating, right?
I rounded up a few of my favorites (wish I could've fit more on this board!) and honestly I'm still finding more items I'm loving. Might have to create another board for this massive good sale!
Here are the details in case you are a visual person like me. Happy shopping friends!

I'm so excited to share this Spring look with you today! I know I owe you guys a recap of my girls' trip to West Palm Beach, and that will come very soon, but in the meantime I couldn't help but get this easy look out to you.
Those perfectly pink heels were snagged for my girls trip and I am absolutely in love with them. I've worn them so many times since I purchased them, I definitely got my monies worth on it. And if I told you that my top (which to me seems very Rebecca Taylor-like), is just $16! It's gotten me so many compliments (along with the shoes), and is so easy to wear with so many things.
This look wouldn't be the same without these power jeans from Old Navy. They're my absolute favorite jeans right now, so on-trend, comfy, goes with everything in my closet, shall I go on?? If I could convince you to get one pair of jeans this season, it would be these power jeans. They're on sale for $20 so you now have no excuse to get them. I will probably get another pair just to have a backup pair, hehe.
Okay, time to go make some lunch because I'm starving. Hope you guys have a great day!
