LIFE & STYLE
Celebrating The Moms & Beyond
Mother’s Day has morphed into a celebration of all the fabulous females out there in the world, mothering and mentoring—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. So, for May, I’ve curated this smattering of sparkle baubles, cozy comforts, and heartfelt gifts that feel every bit as special as the wonderful women in our lives.
INDULGENT BLISS
The Cashmere Fringe Wrap from Brochu Walker is the multi-tasking wrap that’ll take Mom from cool evenings on the beach to the plane—and even cocktail hour. It’s perfect in every way, and this Bisque Melange hue is an all-season beauty.

BRIGHT NOTES
Imagine a relaxing al fresco lounge next to a meadow of freshly cut grass. On the table is an oversized bouquet of Turkish roses and magnolia. Well, you can gift that bright burst of joy to any of the mommas in your life with Future Society’s Solar Canopy.

WHISPERS OF
LUXURY
On the other hand, there’s something almost sacred about subtle scent, and the CORPUS body butter is utterly breathtaking. The scent is beguiling but light, with gentle notes of Bergamot, citrus, and cardamom. It’s vegan and plant-based, and it’s the gift to get if you’re looking for a sure thing.

TWINNING IN STYLE
A cute denim jacket is a spring staple, but these Ingrid+Isabel momma and babe versions are a worthy upgrade. I especially love this Mother’s Day gift if there are plans for a spring family photo session. Plus, they have a devoted nursing and postpartum collection. Info: ingridandisabel.com
SUMMER CROSSBODY
It’s essential to be hands-free in the spring and summer to better hold your Aperol spritz. I’m loving Patricia Nash handbags for this season—plenty of cream, wicker back, and basket styles. Even the umbrellas are cute!

SPECIAL DELIVERY,
INDEED
The cashmere for Lilysilk’s Short Zip-Up Wool Cashmere Hoodie is gathered to The Good Cashmere Standard® benchmarks for sustainability. As a bonus, this hoodie has that oh-so-special coziness, making it a special gift. Info: lilysilk.com
VEGAN SILK SUNSHINE
This pop of color from I Love Tyler Madison is pure sunshine. Say ‹hello› to the Kamala Bomber and goodbye to cloudy days. The vegan silk moves with you, so it›s as comfortable as it is fabulous.

CELESTIAL ADORNMENT
If you’ve got a momma in your life that swooned for the solar eclipse, consider the Royalty Star and Moon Earrings from Thomas Sabo. The vintage-inspired design gives a boho elegance, but the sterling silver with 18k yellow gold plating makes for an affordable splurge.

GODDESS STATUS
The Tradizionale Mar Soreli Ballet Flat is available in endless colors and feels like something a goddess on Mt. Olympus would wear. It›s a light, comfortable shoe, but that rich velvet gives it enough wow factor to pair with a cocktail dress or jeans. Info: marsoreli.com
SUMMER SIPS
Skip the bouquet of roses and get Mom (or Nonna!) a rosé bouquet instead. Created by Sacha Lichine, the muse behind beloved rosé brand Whispering Angel, The Pale is a gem of a Var region of Provence bottle for under $20—perfect for buying by the case. Info: esclans.com
CALIFORNIA DREAMING
Mom will love the subtle hints of vanilla and patchouli that exudes a flirty, floaty romantic feeling to notes of tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom, and magnolia in this cult classic child Extrait de Pafum—a favorite of Hollywood’s celebrity crowd. The ultimate California girl fragrance is beloved—after all the fragrance elements are fresh from the Hollywood Hills. Info: childperfume.com
YES, MOM CHEF!
If her holiday wish list reads like a gourmand’s dream, then this 17-piece Viking Knife Set is perfect. Add a few seasoned salts and unique simmering sauces, and you have the makings of a fabulous gift basket.
