My April Loves.
We could also call this a “mothers day shop” because I’m a mother and I want all of this.
She’s a little scattered like my brain this week. My son had the flu last week, or norovirus- who even knows what it is anymore from a party the week before.
My husband was gone on a work trip, so when I say I am thinking of nice mothers -day gifts, oh I’m thinking about them. I’d like it shine so bright you could see it from here all the way to San Francisco… but I’ll settle for some things in this shop.
I still had to work and clean up bodily fluids from children for days on end that feels like it’s engrained in my skin. I would rather have spew on me than my new rug I just replaced - so I chest blocked them all.
Sometimes I find your kids being sick a little nostalgic. I have beautiful (can i say that) memories of being sick when I was a kid and my mother stroking my hair or rubbing my back . Making nice hot bubble baths and warming my bath towels in the dryer after I got out. Having sourdough toast with butter while watching endless hours of Winnie the Pooh or Saved by The Bell. I can still hear her taking deep breaths after she kept having to strip the sheets after she JUST washed them.
In a weird way it felt really good to be a “mother” and give that love and attention back. Also I appreciate you, mom! Mom’s need love after being mothers and the cycle continues. Since we are in the midst of May and mothers day coming up it always gets me thinking. Becoming a mother for the first time is just such a beautiful chapter and I think back to that stage of my life and how naive I was but it also was so engrained in my body it was to be a mother. It was so fun having kids at the same time with all my girlfriends and all figuring it out, together. Every month is this page turner of lessons for yourself, and them. I want to read slow and take it all in but the pages keep turning so quickly.
Ok shopping gals. It’s a big one, and you deserve it all.
This floral off the shoulder, bias cut dress that I designed off a great little vintage number I had. Fits amazing. I love this print on this halter neck. Beaded bag that is a nice pop to any simple outfit. Green beaded heals and this Oak Essential bath soak that smells so incredible- I have been using it a lot this week to wind down. I have revisited DE Hydration Serum ( i love their bouncy bright and Sukari for masking)
My favorite Jade Dress that was designed from my favorite button-up and I wanted it to be a flirty mini- It’a a really classic beauty of a fit. Ghia’s bubbles which I love for Sundays since I try not to drink on Sunday’s to prepare for the week, but a little aperitif is so nice. This flower mini that feels like Zimmerman, these beautiful green drink-glasses I would love for a dinner party.
This eternity band would be a great Mothers Day gift and a great start to a stacking look. This white dress that looks like a perfect throw on (waiting for mine, i’ll report back the fit) with this larger straw bag. I like that size.
The deep chocolate brown from Liffners new woven bag collection. This crochet dress that fits great and isn’t too see-through (size down). This skirt that I got and it feels like antique lace. I’m going to cut out the lining cause I like it risque like that. Crochet shorts to wear with an oversized button down. This entire outfit I am just so into- top to sheer skirt. Another light frame that look so smart.
This white mini-dress that feels sexy yet timeless, a silver maxi with a big statement necklace and my new favorite underwire nude bra.
Patchwork lace pants - YES. This black simple tube which I would wear with it (get a few colors) These new color way Hutton slides ( I have in black and love and the brown is so nice for summer use code: CYDM15) Straw hat, little navy crochet blouse, caramel satin bag- this color is delicious. Fringe dress that feels like this Sea blouse - happy it comes in black now! Crochet little set, suede bag in a really nice light taupe, suede pants for a great price . I have also been looking at daybeds for the kids playroom since I wont want a back and I really liked this color with the wood combo.
I have this art in an extra large scale on my wish list- it’s simple but powerful. I love this shade of Kosas lipstick, this little Ralph cable-vest paired with the navy bubble shorts is a cute summer look with a lace up sandal. Love these glass spoons for dinner parties, this mens roll neck sweater for bon fire nights. These cat eye frames (but honestly my Luv Lou ones look better) These new blue towels that are so thick and beautiful.
This blue patchwork suede jacket reminds me of the one that Carrie Bradshaw wore when she met Aiden. Wrap skirt with a plane white T. Baby blue sweater blazer in a great color. The best selling printed dress that comes with a detachable neck-scarf. The print is not obnoxious- she is beautiful. Blue one piece ( I love this finishing of the darker navy and a classic dark brown sandal.
The cutest pink cardigan for kids thats on sale right now, basic tube dress thats only $45. Animal print sheer dress that I love with a big statement necklace, straw mini bag, perfect pink button up to wear with the crochet shorts above, fringe comb, a really light gauze bed throw and a yellow collared tank that I have and love how it fits.
This simple dress that comes in a lot of colors is $78, little endearing bow jellie sandals. Retinal eye cream I have been using and it feels cooling on which is so nice. Butter yellow (great size) bag. Amber vase ( you know how I feel about a great vase)
The new J.Crew scrunchie swim which feels like a version of Hunza for 1/2 the price. Suede sandal, chic trench someome was wearing on the weekend and it fit so amazing it looked like Burberry.
Little white summer shoe, rattan rocking and this white tent which is sort of a mothers-day present because who doesn’t want their house looking beautiful but also entertaining your kids at the same time. All about the neutral kids toys. This boys color- block jacket I wish i had in my size and a great neutral throw pillow.
Ok the email is cutting me off- shop it all here !
