Happy National Junk Food Day!

Today is the national day of junk food and ice cream! And what better way to celebrate than stuffing our fat faces with junk until we're happy then sad dressing for the holiday. I'm a HUGE fanatic of ice cream. In fact, I'm planning on having an ice cream bar at my wedding and I'm super siked about that. And of course, who doesn't love junk food. Sure it's bad if you overeat but in moderation, it's "good" for your soul.

Check out these cute ice cream prints below. Now I'm craving a pint of Ben & Jerry's.

Red, White, Blue and Rain

Sorry I haven't been around this past month or so. I've been busy with starting my wedding plans (Yup! We finally set a date!), having John's family visit, and lots of little things that got in the way. But I'm back and refreshed! The break away has allowed me to come back recharge and gain back the creativity I was losing.

In honor of 4th of July, here's what I wore today. The red rain boots and little red umbrella combo is my favorite to wear in the rain, the pop of color makes me instantly happy and stand out from the crowd of navys and blacks.

I just got the cute dress a few days ago at Target, on sale too! I had been eyeing it for some time, I love the white open dots and the style but I wasn't about to pay almost $30 for it, I'm on a budget baby. I waited it out and with a coupon, I got that dress and another for half off! Target is having lots of good clearance racks on women's clothing and home decor so check them out for great discounts. 

 What's your favorite rain accessories?

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's Day (in the U.S) is on Sunday May 12th. Those blessed with a mother or a mother figure in their life can make this day extra special and less stressful by planning just a little bit ahead. So, instead of running to Walgreen's for a last minute gift, think about what she would really love or wouldn't get herself (if that special gift is from Walgreen's, hell ya!). In fact, your Mother's Day present doesn't have to a be a thing at all. Spending true quality time together doing an activity could be just the perfect gift for the both of you, especially if carving time away is difficult.

Here's my little list of simple, chic, and sweet gifts for your mom. I hope you'll find some inspiration here.

Mother's Day Gift Guide by vintagedanielle featuring warehouse

1 Help mom protect her forever comforting eyes and keep her looking chic in this simple forever in style straw banded fedora.

2 A gold tone slinky chain necklace is a classic wardrobe staple. It goes with practically everything, every event, and your mom will be wearing it for years to come.

3 Treat your mom to a pair of high quality aviator shades that she might not get herself. Now if she's incline to lose her shades then get a few pairs of lesser quality but still fabulous sunglasses.

4 This is what I meant earlier about a mother's day gift not being a thing. Suggestions? Maybe a trip to a spa, get your nails done together, an afternoon at a local bookstore and cafe, attend a free lecture and then grab a bite and talk, go hiking or try out a new bike trail. If you and your mom are more open minded, may I suggest attending a tarot card or psychic reading, take a cooking (or whatever type) class or series of classes together. Whatever you do, be ENGAGED! Talk to her, not at her, and leave the elevator talk at the door. Get to know the woman behind the mom title, I bet you'll learn a great deal about your mom.

5 This elderflower and lime jar candle smells heavenly and its scent is perfect for spring/summer. I love the cute little jar it is in and it can be reused once the wax is cleaned out.

6 Is your mom's wallet or purse getting tattered and worn out? Surprise her with a new one, in her style, of course, and she'll be a happy woman. I know I put off buying purses and wallets because no.1 I'm lazy but no.2 because it seems like a chore.

7 Yummy! These Charbonnel Et Walker Marc De Champagne Dark Chocolate Truffles are divine! Sure at $24 they might be a bit pricey but isn't your mom worth it? Walk pass the traditional and boring boxes of chocolate and head to these truffles or a more speciality chocolate treat for mom. She'll likely never buy these for herself but if you do, ohhh you'll get major daughter points!If mom isn't a chocolates fan (which is weird but that's okay) maybe a lovely Edible's Arrangement.
