Mother's Day is fast approaching and although some may say that holidays like Mother's Day are simply commercialized cash grabs, they do have a good basic intention, which is to celebrate the woman who gave you life, hugs, and band-aids when you scraped your knees. We should appreciate our mothers everyday, but having a set holiday serves to remind us to do what we often forget when we're caught up in the madness of normal life.

Here's a few of the goodies I'm considering for my own mommy:
DIY Photo block
Get crafty and create your own photo set! You can personalize it with childhood memories, or use a cool funky graphic print to jazz up your mom's living room.
Mother's Day Cheesecake
I love the perfect smoothness of this cake, and a gorgeous cake like this one is a lasting memory to the heart and to the stomach!
Lollia Bath & Body set
Every woman, no matter how tomboy-ish loves a good pampering! Moms are always putting everyone but themselves first, so give her a treat with some divine smelling beauty products. Add some candles and a good romance novel, and you'll certainly rack up the brownie points over your siblings.
Max & Chloe engraved locket
Finally, if you're really wanting to splurge, then purchase a beautifully classic piece of jewelery like this engraved locket. Inside you can put pictures of yourself and your mom as that perfect, heartfelt touch. Aww, how warm and fuzzy!
If you haven't already heard about Threadsense from Song of Style, or I Am Style-ish (both amazing blogs and totally recommended reads) then where have you been living?! Threadsense may be new to the scene to me, but it's fast become a favourite haunt of mine when doing some virtual window shopping.
The name Threadsense was created to imply a stripping down to the bare essentials of style. The fashions on Threadsense are a polygamous stew of indie, hipster, edgy, and cool - but all at affordable prices. Threadsense strives to be the one stop shop for all the fashion needs of the modern urban woman, and features many familiar brands such as Urban Behaviour, Costa Blanca, and Mink Pink. Besides the familiar though, Threadsense also sells lesser known indie designers and has a special section featuring brands from Japan!
Here is a taste of what you can find on this cool new shopping experience:
Long Tree necklace
I love the intricate leaf and bird details of this charming pendant almost as much as I love the price.
Painted Pocket skirt
I was very much tempted to purchase this skirt. In fact, I'm still very tempted! The floral pattern, purple color, mini length, pockets, and defined waistband are very on trend and modern.
Cross Hatch print dress
This dress it utterly ideal for lazy summer days walking along in flip flops on creaky wooden docks. Just throw on a slouchy boyfriend cardigan and you are ready for whatever adventures lie on the horizon.
