Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's day is this Sunday, are you prepared??? I've compiled some ideas for you, in case you're about to hit panic mode. I think a sun hat would be great to protect mom's skin from the sun. Most moms like jewelry or scarves as a fail safe back up. And skincare usually works, though you need to remember that by now your mom may have already found a routine that works for her. Plus, it may be offensive to give her some anti-wrinkle serum - be sure to know how your mom may feel about it first. But nothing beats spending time with her, booking a mother daughter spa treatment would make her day!

Leather Headband

Blair Waldorf from "Gossip Girl" is inspiring me to be more preppy! While you can sort through a plethora of headbands at Forever 21 for under $10, I decided to look for what I would consider the most perfect headband purchase. I decided on this one by Juicy Couture, not too thin, not too wide, not too boring but still matchable to most outfits. It's not plastic, which gives me headaches too. Buy it at Nordstrom in black, gold, pink or silver for $45.

Celeb Style: Cat Eye Sunglasses

I don't really consider Janice Dickinson a fashion icon worthy of style stalking, but I was really impressed with these shades she's been sporting lately. I was immediately drawn to them as they are not round oversized, aviator or wayfarers. They're classic but it's been so long since I've seen cat eye glasses that they feel all shiny and fresh. I finally found the exact pair she has, they're the Tom Ford Anouk shades which you can find at Bloomingdale's for $300. They're already sold out at eLuxury, so I don't recommend waiting around too long!

Jeweled Choker/Headband

Jeweled Choker/Headband There was a rash of stars wearing jeweled headbands lately, and this one is only $8 at Twelve by Twelve if you want to get into the trend for cheap. Best of all, you can wear it as a chocker later, so you won't have to toss it when feathered hair clips or whatever come into style!

Unusual Umbrellas

SheFinds has discovered three very unusual umbrellas that I just have to write about!

First, an umbrella that stands on its own! You can buy it at 100% for 4,200円 or about $42.

This tandem umbrella is so cute, I totally want one for me and my beau. I don't think they're for sale :( but the site that posted them is Jasmine Raznahan.

Finally we have the Umbuster, also not for sale as far as I can tell. This certainly brings new meaning to having a fierce accessory!

Plaid Scarf with Metallic Threads

Plaid Scarf with Metallic ThreadsI love scarves with fringed edges all over! It's an especially chic look that's hard to pull off with long scarves with fringed ends only. So buy this one to add to you collection, only $38 at South Moon Under.
