Hi Loves! Where on earth did April go?! 🙂 Its time for another blog hop with the wonderful ladies in the Beauty & Fashion Blog Community on Facebook { join the party! }.
For the May hop – our topic was Mother’s Day Gift Ideas. Rather than recommend specific items from specific stores, or at various price points, I like to shop with “ideas”. Then while I’m out shopping I look something that are along the lines of what I had in mind. I created these sets on Polyvore (follow me?!) and wanted to share my “ideas” for gifts with you.
My mom works in a school – she’s a teachers aide, substitute teacher, and speech coach. She’s very traditional and has more of a classic style. My quest has been to slowly give her a few trendier items over the years that are a mix of both her classic style with something that I like.
She’s not into wearing makeup, or a lot of jewelry, but I think I found some items she’d enjoy.
Idea #1 – Work Tote Bags. (What teacher, aide, or coach doesn’t carry a ton of stuff around with them?! Might as well rock a cool bag while you do!)
Gift Idea #2 – Jewelry. A little sparkle never huts! I tried to stick with more classic jewelry styles in rose gold. Plus I LOVE the rose gold trend!
Gift Idea #3 – Perfume. These are a few scents that I think my mom would like. Plus they are on the lighter side, so they can be easily worn during the day. I also love to buy high-end rollerball perfume instead of big bottles because they seem easier to use up (for me anyways) can fit in a purse, travel well, and are a fraction of the price, so if you get something you don’t really like – there’s not as much to use up!

Love the bags! They’re gorgeous!
Thanks! They are lovely – I think they are that perfect combination of trendy/classy that could be staple pieces and used for quite a while.
Exactly!
I love the rose gold suggestion. It’s classic, but most people don’t have a lot of it so it’s something fresh to add to a jewelry collection.
Thanks – its my recent obsession! 🙂
I second the rose gold, 😀
Very classic! A touch of perfume makes everything brighter!
Thank you! 🙂 I agree – I love a good perfume!
Jeni – love these ideas! Especially the rose gold themed jewelry! So classy and elegant! 🙂 I always think that mother’s day is the perfect day to pamper your mommy dearest and make her feel luxurious. Your gift ideas were spot on for creating that feeling!
Thanks Ashly! 🙂 I couldn’t agree more and I’ve loved reading what everyone else is picking for their posts!
I love that Kate Spade bow bracelet – it’s so sweet and elegant! My mom’s a teacher too and she is always hauling multiple tote bags to and from school – what a great idea to get her a nice bag!
Thank you! 🙂
Awesome selection! I love those bags! Also, rose gold is amazing!
