Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Now that it's officially May, it's time to think about what to buy for one of the most important holidays of the year - Mother's Day! Seriously - if your mom is anything like mine, she puts her whole life on hold for you 365 days a year so it's nice to return the favor once in a while. Since I am so far from home (I miss you, mommy), I like to be sure to send my mom a sweet card and get her a gift that shows her how important she is to me. It's not like any gift could ever fully express my love ... VIEW THIS POST

Splurge vs. Save: Affordable Spring Look

One of my favorite things to do when new pieces come out is to find less expensive alternatives. Especially when I know things are probably only going to be on trend for a couple seasons (if that), I would much prefer to find something that I don't have to drop a ton of money on. For spring this year, it's all about off the shoulder, statement earrings, and suede wedges. I put together an entire outfit, both high-end and more affordable, incorporating all the best trends of the season! Would you ... VIEW THIS POST
