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.

Let's Hang Out!

Lace Oxblood + Polka Dots

In an effort to stay with my tiny budget this holiday, I've been pretty much couped up at home. No driving around, no silly purchases at Target, no quick stops at McDonald's, just driving only to work and grocery shopping. With no where to go, I haven't had any blog worthy outfits to post, unless you find Minnie Mouse onsies exciting. Yesterday, I was able to get out of the house to do some last minute Thanksgiving shopping. I wore my favorite lace oxblood dress with cream polka dot tights and a few of my favorite bracelets. I'm obsessed with these tights and have been trying to come up with many outfit ideas which will allow me to wear them more often.

Some of the jewelry worn here was from my great grandmother, Lenore. She had fabulous taste and I feel honored to wear some of her pieces. It's my way of continuing her legacy.

Chic, Cute, and Cheap - Summer Edition

Thanks for your patience, I know I announced this post on Monday and it's now Friday, my bad! I began the Chic, Cute, and Cheap series for the spring season and I really enjoyed finding easy to find fashion items for a price of $25 or less. With summer in full bloom, I think it's about time that Chic, Cute, and Cheap focus on the hottest months and how we gals can find affordable, classic yet trendy pieces. I focused more on color, fun patterns, and light fabric. I hope you'll find some wallet friendly inspiration.

The First All Diamond Ring

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and with this ring, she'll never be lonely. Shawish Jewelry is selling the first all diamond ring for approximately $70 million. It's 150 carats and was cut out of a single diamond rock! It took one year to be made mostly due to getting the copyright for the design and purchasing a special laser to create the perfect circle for the band. The design is so simple yet overwhelming, pure yet complex. Who would buy this? Honestly, even if I had the money to spend I wouldn't. It reminds me of costume jewelry and those candy ring lollipops although I know the ring doesn't really look like either.

If you could, would you buy it?

Is it too much or pure perfection?

Could this be a new trend for affordable knock-off rings?
