Mother’s Day || The Perfect Accessories

When I was hanging out with my mom last weekend, we got to talking about Mother’s Day. You know, what to do and what she wanted…. her typical response is always something along the lines of “just being together is more than enough….”. And while she whole heartedly means that, I whole heartedly won’t let that happen. I’ve always loved the act of searching for the perfect gift for someone… and seeing the joy on their face when they unwrap it. I listen to cues (things I overhear them talk about) and try to find something they wouldn’t typically buy for themselves (because it’s not necessarily something they “need”). Of course, I’ve worked on my abilities to refine that over the years…. I think one of the first gifts I ever gave my mom was a tribal beaded bracelet. While I thought it was pretty cool, it definitely wasn’t her style. Yet, she wore it proudly (I can’t wait to see what Harper comes up with when she’s old enough!)….

A while ago, my mom mentioned that she wanted some new “everyday” jewelry pieces. Over the past few years, my grandma, mom, and myself have become huge fans of Kendra Scott. Her pieces can be worn cross generationally, and we’ve all amassed quite a collection of her beautiful items (these earrings + this ring are still two of my favorites to date….)…. and her new Summer Collection doesn’t disappoint… talk about stunning. I love that each piece can be worn so many different ways… on their own, or mixed, matched, + layered together to create different looks. I’ve been layering the adjustable chocker necklace (which is like a two for one since you can wear it shorter or longer) with the longer pendant for everyday style…. especially when paired with the dainty chain bracelet. For a more dressed up, fun, look the tassel earrings, or these beautiful statement earrings, are the perfect option. If I’m looking to forgo the necklaces + earrings, then layering the bar bracelet with the tassel + pearl bracelet is the perfect option. Annnd, as I think about buying my Mother’s Day gifts for this year, I’m thinking my mom would love the long pendant (she’s always talking about mine…) or this beaded bracelet set (so many beautiful colors), and my grandma would love either this statement ring or necklace. While I’m at it, maybe I should drop TJ a hint or two… like this beautiful two-stoned open ring or these gorgeous pendant statement earrings….
