happy independence day!

I am a very proud American. Today I am especially thankful for the brave men and women who have fought and are fighting today to keep us free and independent. I hope you are having a very happy fourth of July weekend celebrating with family and friends! God Bless the USA!

i heart mom

Mother’s day is nearly here! I am always on the lookout for sweet, unique finds when I give a gift, especially to my mom. Here are some of my best ideas for your mom:

 

one | scarf from JCrew – I love this color, it’s such a beautiful shade of blue and it looks good on everyone!

two | organic milk chocolate from Terrian– Yum & love that beautiful packaging (all you need is a beautiful silky ribbon tied around it!)

three | cocktail ring from Stella and Dot – Love big statement pieces, this one is timeless.

four | metallic runners from Boden – Perfect for everyday and a bit more dressy then a regular old pair of Nike’s…

five | monogrammed pillow from Luxury Monograms – This pillow would be a perfect addition to a big comfy chair. Plus the monogram is unusual, I love it!

six | lettered coffee mugs from Anthropologie – I love the spring colors of these mugs, they have so many adorable uses including a mini-flower pot, a catch all for pens etc. The perfect gift!

seven | ombre vase from Terrain – I love having a variety of vases around, this vase would be so beautiful filled with white tulips. Beautiful!
