LIFE & STYLE
For All The Lovely Ladies
Each year, Mother’s Day challenges us to find a gift that matches Mom’s endless love and devotion. It’s no easy task. This year, however, I’ve been delighted to find a variety of unique Mother’s Day splurges worthy of all the ladies who deserve to be celebrated. From classic scents to lockets handmade in France, I hope this collection saves you time and honors her effervescent spirit.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE
Since 1752, Caswell-Massey has embodied a special feeling of grace. This is largely due to the brand’s extraordinary fragrances and luxe formulations – from soaps to lotions and perfumes. The peony scent is pure magic.

Staub’s 12-piece dinnerware set reminds me of something you’d find at a farmhouse in France. It’s hearty and utterly gorgeous but intensely functional with its scratch resistance. The bowls are beautifully squatty and deep – perfect for everything from ice cream sundaes to bubbly soups.
