It’s time to celebrate the most special lady in your life: Mom.  Mother’s Day is your chance to show Mom how much you love and appreciate her.

Mother’s Day is on May 11^th, at the time of year when Mom’s getting ready for summer!  She’s pulling out her breezy summer clothes.  She’s dreaming of afternoons spent at the pool.  And she’s definitely making her summer vacation plans:  will it be a resort getaway, a dream cruise, or a week at the beach?

Help Mom get summer ready with some fabulous summer accessories!

-     Any summer outing requires a great bag.  The Riga tote bag is just the thing.  It’s super chic with its attractive stripes in brown and white or black and white.  It’s roomy, yet not overwhelmingly large, so it’s perfect for stocking with beach, pool or day-trip essentials and toting around.  It has pockets, inside and out, for stowing keys, cell phones and other small necessities.  The treated canvas and metal feet on the base help keep Riga clean. 

-      A beautiful scarf will always make Mom smile.  The Jasmine resort scarf features a hand-painted design in gorgeous summery hues.  It’s made of rayon and is an oversized 80” X 28”.  Its large size and soft drape make it so versatile: Jasmine can be worn as a neck-scarf, a shawl, a head wrap, or a bathing suit cover-up.  Such an adaptable accessory is perfect for Mom’s summer resort or cruise vacation.

-     Nothing says summer like a pair of cute sandals.  These Keikei’s flip-flops are darling, and made for summer.  The pretty straps are made from Mother of Pearl and coconut beads, and the comfy foot bed is made from EVA/rubber.  They’ll take Mom from the beach to a lunch al fresco, and on to some shopping.  You could also tuck in a gift certificate for a pedicure; Mom’s feet will be so pretty, and she will love this gift!

-     Mom would love a gorgeous sun hat!  A Pandora sun hat will protect Mom’s face from the sun’s harmful rays, all while looking cool and fashionable.  Pandora has metallic thread woven into it, giving it a subtle shimmer.  It’s packable, so Mom can easily tuck it into her beach bag or suitcase.   It’s made of soft fabric, plus has an adjustable head size, so comfort is take care of.  Mom will look so stylish while the 5” brim protects her from the sun.  Pandora comes in 4 great colors: sand, bronze, coral and black. 

-    What could be better than a parasol?  A pretty pink parasol!  Persole’s pink flower sun umbrella is dripping with gorgeous.  It’s made with high performance fabric that blocks out 99.7% of the sun’s rays.  The exterior has a pink ombre pattern, while the interior has a breathtaking pink flower.  The handle is a graceful hook shape in gold embedded with pink crystals.  A parasol is the ultimate in portable shade, and will shield Mom while she’s at the beach, shopping, at a sporting event or wedding… just about anywhere.  To top it off, it will double as a rain umbrella, should Mom get caught in a surprise shower.

Just In: Keikei's Coconut Sandals

We are super excited about the announcement of our new product: Keikei’s Coconut Sandals!  These flip-flops are cute, and so perfect for the beach… or a cruise… or a resort… or OK, just about anywhere (anywhere warm, that is)!

These sandals are handmade with real coconuts and other natural materials that evoke thoughts of swaying palm trees, tropical breezes, and sand between your toes.  With a lightweight EVA/rubber sole, they’re well-made and comfortable… and did we mention cute?

Here’s Keikei’s Mother of Pearl Flip-Flop, we carry it in happy Pink, and pretty Turquoise.  How perfect would this be with a tunic and Bermuda shorts.  Add some coordinating jewelry, and BAM – comfy cuteness.

Dainty Heishi Coconut Flip-Flops would be perfect with a sundress.  So take a white dress and add the flip-flops in Pink.  Then drape a resort scarf, like Jasmine by Profile by Gottex, and you have one dreamy outfit.   Wait, the Turquoise Heishi’s would be adorable too... aaah, decisions.

Pukalit in Natural is… well, a natural for pairing with an animal print like leopard.  Adding some gold jewelry will highlight the metallic detail on the sandal.  Another approach: go bright with the clothing!  You can wear most any color, and neutral Pukalit will happily and stylishly join the party.

Keikei’s (pronounced Kay-Kay’s) was founded a couple years ago by Meg and Ryan David.  The designs are influenced by their own adventures abroad, specifically a trip to the Philippines where they first saw coconuts-as-footwear.  And how cute is this: their company is named for their three year old son Kaylor – nicknamed Keikei.

Flip-flops: how do you wear them?
