mother's day gift ideasMy mom always asks for Gloria Jean’s coffee beans and tickets to her favorite little movie theater for every holiday.  Boring, but fool-proof.  But here are some other mother’s day gift ideas that might make her day…

My mom lives in flats, the comfier the better.  These are neutral and extra cute. ($78) // This gorgeous copper-spotted vase would be lovely gifted with tiny flowers. ($40) // These peachy gemstone studs are great for everyday. ($56) // A spring scarf in a fresh pallet is super pretty. ($70) // These little bowls could hold jewelry and other trinkets. ($28)

jewelry under 100

I’m terrible with jewelry.  I’ve now lost of broken almost every piece I have, making me feel sort of perpetually bare whenever I try to look especially pulled together.  But I love the simple, the delicate, the minimal, and lately, anything geometric.  Here are some everyday pieces I’m eyeing now–all jewelry under 100 bucks on Etsy!

Those geo earrings remind me of this DIY.  The porcelain ring would make a good replacement for this beautiful gift I smashed when I grabbed a doorknob too tightly.  And the quartz bullet necklace reminds me of one my boyfriend’s stylish sister has. :)

(Right-left from top:) Gold bar necklace ($26) / Sunset rocks earrings in bronze ($60) / Black rocks faceted sterling silver posts ($50) / Sweetheart bracelet in silver ($40) / Crystal bar ring in bronze ($75) / Pyramid row sterling silver ring ($70) / Gold nuggets necklace ($28) / Gold leaf porcelain studs ($27) / Quartz in bullet necklace ($23) / Gold & white porcelain ring ($67) / Copper flag necklace ($30) / Deer antler necklace ($16)
