mother’s day gift idea 2012: wrap her in scarf

The French woman’s staple piece to any outfit is a scarf and no matter the season, I am almost certain French women over 40 have a silk scarf tucked away in their bags, just in case the weather gets chilly.

For places like San Francisco, where I am from, there is definitely a need for scarves during  every season of the year. So, it’s no surprise that I would most certainly recommend the gift idea.  The fact I think I was a Parisian in a past life is also a major factor in suggesting the gift.

Here are some of my favorites:

Athena Procopiou paco cashmere blend scarf 300USD

Robert Cavalli silk chiffon scarf 510USD

Leaves of Grass Ellery embroidered silk chiffon scarf 415USD

Gucci monogrammed silk scarf 225USD

Diane Von Furstenberg new bubsy star printedvoile scarf 185USD

What mother wouldn’t appreciate a destination spa getaway. Since this gift idea is a bit costly, I suggest the family pitching in for the spa fund instead of buying separate gifts for their mother.

modern mother’s day gift idea 2012: accessorizing the watch wrist

I have to admit I’ve worn several bracelet on my watch wrist, oh probably for over twenty years (even before it was fashionable) and I will continue to wear them for the rest of my life (even when or if they go out of fashion). I really honestly can’t see my watch wrist with just a watch, so I figured any modern mother would appreciate accessorizing their watch wrist as much as I do.

So, gentlemen, sons and daughters please take note for what I am about to suggest from my favorite department store:

Charriol stainless steel bangle w pearls 395USD

Meira t 14k yellow gold evil eye 625USD

Meira t 14k white gold bar bracelet 875USD

Gurhan silver and 24k gold dome bracelet 1675USD

Gucci Sterling Silver Britt Bracelet 225USD

Gucci 1973 collection exclusive silver charm 345USD
