Shopbop Friends and Family Sale

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9 (~$100!)/10

I hope your week is going well!  Shopbop just announced another sale! Use code SPRING25 to get 25% off (brands excluded below) and runs April 9th 11:59 PST. I swear my wallet can't handle all of these sales.  Saks is also doing a giftcard sale that starts this week online and in stores on Thursday.  Friends and Family sales are always a great time to stock up on basics (and maybe treat yourself to a little something special!).  

As you can tell, my mind is totally on summer.  I've never tried Frame denim, but love this white distressed pair.  Also, I missed on these boyfriend shorts last year and don't want to make the same mistake this year.  In addition to the pieces above, I've also got my eye on a pair of Karen Walker and Prada sunglasses and I think this bikini will be perfect for my next trip to Mexico. Finally, if you don't already have this leopard clutch, I can't recommend it enough.

P.S. If this sale isn't enough, don't forget about the Piperlime buy more, save more sale (with no brand exclusions!!).  It is the perfect time to pick up a Clare V. clutch or these boots that hardly ever go on sale!

What do you have your eye on?

What I Want...Mother's Day Gift Picks

1/2/3/4/5/6/7

So, I'm doing an extra post this week for Mother's Day gifts .  I don't know about you, but I'm a total procrastinator.  I've had Mother's Day marked on my calendar for a while, but am just now thinking about what I'm going to get for my mom.  Normally my dad and I tag team, where I will pick the restaurant for brunch or dinner and he will take care of the gift (with strong input from me).  This year is a little different as my mom and her friends decided to splurge on a girls' weekend to Montreal and claimed that was enough of a present.  Of course, we still have to get here a little something since she is so amazing.

The majority of the presents I've selected are also available in store (huge plus for a procrastinator like me!) and pretty specific to my mom, but I thought I would share.  My mom is a huge tea drinker (though I'm trying to convert her to Keurig coffee) and she would love to have her own initial cup and special Teavana blend.  She is also always trying to find great tops (like me!) to go with her endless pairs of black pants.  She loves black, but I think this beautiful tunic is a great spring/summer piece to add a little color to her wardrobe.  Also, this sheer sleeve sweater is a nice way to add visual interest if she refuses to go as bright as the tunic.  Slowly but surely I will get her to wear more color...

Have you guys finished shopping for your mom for Mother's Day?

I hope all of you moms and soon to be moms have a great Mother's Day!
