Mother's Day Gift Guide (all under $20!)

Mother's day is a little over a week away! Have you thought about how you want to spoil your mom? If I was in the same city as my mom or mother-in-law, I would love to spend time with them, such as take them out to get their nails done, go shopping, or maybe eat brunch together. But since they are both sooo far away in Texas, the best I can do is send her something I think she would love and obnoxiously Facetime her throughout the day.

Here are some of my Mother's Day picks for all under $20!

Anthropologie candle - sold out, I like these ($16) - Their candles always smell sooo good and come in the cutest packaging!

CND Vinylux #122 Lobster Roll Nail Polish Lacquer 0.5floz-(Seriously loooovveee these nail polishes! They last at least one week and sometimes longer. I do recommend purchasing the top coat, but for only $6, I think they are a steal! I definitely prefer them over Essie or OPI.)

CND Vinylux #135 Cake Pop Nail Polish Lacquer 0.5floz

Forever 21 Scarf ($6) - I never met a mom who didn't like a scarf. This one is very lightweight and perfect for spring!

Anthropologie Happ & Stahns Hand Cream ($18) -My mom always said the packaging is important. The boxes these little hand creams come in are too cute.

Anthropologie Jardin Des Plantes Cup & Saucer (18) -A perfect pairing with this gift would be her favorite tea or coffee/ <3

Rifle Paper Co Notepad ($9) -Mom can jot down her grocery list, ideas, notes or Bible Verses!

Necklaces - Target (old), I like this -A fun necklace is a perfect addition for mom's already stylish wardrobe.

April Instagram Recap

Walking out after work and the buildings were covered in a dreamy foggy goodness.   The Flatiron building at dusk. Hi moon!   We started off the month road tripping to Bear Mountain. View the original post here!  There is always so much people watching to do in Union Square.  My new favorite coffee cup and saucer, from anthropologie, and the funnest read for spring.

Spring Stripes

Springtime in NYC is the most beautiful time of year. Full, colorful, bright blooms, light jacket weather, sunshine, long walks (as in, walking everywhere). I absolutely love this time of year. Winter and I are not friends one bit, but the cold and snow does force me to appreciate the springtime even more. I bought this black and white striped dress for $12 at a random side street shop in midtown, and absolutely love it. It is is so flowy and perfect with a denim jacket or sweater. I paired it with a hat since it was very bright out that day, and of course...sneakers! I think this would have looked even better with white converse, but as I think those shoes are extremely uncomfortable, I've opted for nikes. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
