Flats are your friend, gals! But, of course, you already knew that. My sister has a great collection of flats, and I find myself raiding her stash for a pair to wear to work or out to dinner or even to throw on for grocery shopping. The thing is, you can never-NEVER-go wrong with a cute pair of flats. These suede pair (how amazing are the ‘fresh strawberry’ and the ‘chrome green’ colors-whaaa?!) by J.Crew, which you can often find at a J.Crew Factory for even less, are so comfy! My sister has a tan pair with jeweled detailing on the toe and they literally go with any outfit. I’m really into making a statement with funky shoes, so, naturally, I think this coral and metal combo is so fun! For a feminine look, I love these pretty blue cutouts by French Connection. These leather espadrille slip ons are not usually my style, but I would totally wear these! What do you think of them? They definitely make a statement! And a classic pointy toe flat with studded detailing or polka dots is always a good choice!

Give your mom a grow-your-own garden this Mother’s Day! I came across this colorful growing kit earlier today and thought it would be great for a Mother’s Day gift. Allotinabox neatly packs all the essential items needed to start a little garden including how-to tips and ships the kit to your front door. How cool is that? Their selection of grow-your-own gardens even includes an “urban gyo” option that is perfect for growing on balconies, rooftops, in window boxes or pots.

1. J.Crew Sparkling Perfection / 2. Superga Cotu Classic Sneakers / 3. Casual & Colorful Linen Tees from J.Crew / 4. Tory Burch iPhone 5 Cases, Fire Orange & Turq Check / 5. Hand-pick Wild Flowers / 6. Macarons from Etsy

Do you have a Mother’s Day tradition? I think Mother’s Days are best celebrated outside, in bare feet, with a delicious, warm-weather drink (does this look amazing or what?!)! Although today is a bit cloudy and gray, we’ve had a couple of gorgeous and warm days in New England this week. I’ve been inspired by all the sunshine and new flowers popping up, so, I put together this colorful collection of Mother’s Day gifts for you all. Don’t those spring colored macarons look amazing? And I love the patterns on Tory Burch’s iPhone cases.

Have a great weekend!
