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: Resort Scarves & Wraps

Dragonfly  |  Royal Peacock  |  Tropical Mirror  |  Jasmine  | Aztec  

We are pleased as punch to announce a new collection of beautiful resort scarves and wraps.  Gottex and Profile by Gottex bring us vivid colors and ethereal fabrics, all perfect for a tropical setting.  

These scarves are hand-painted in colorful, bold patterns, any of which would pair seamlessly with a vacation wardrobe.  For example, Jasmine is quintessential tropics, with its pinks, yellows, aquas and greens in an abstract floral pattern.  Tropical Mirror combines exotic purple, pink and red blooms with black and white stripes.  Royal Peacock proudly joins lush teals and deep purples in an eye-catching graphic print.  Dragonfly brings us drama with a rich mixture of blues, emerald, white, and highlights in pink.  And finally, Aztec boasts an intensely hued tribal pattern in hot pinks, orange and black.   

We love multi-tasking travel items, and these scarves work hard and look great while doing it.  Starting with the obvious, a scarf makes a beautiful neck accessory, highlighting the face and adding instant color to any outfit.  There are many ways to tie a scarf, so a single scarf can have multiple looks.  But what else can a scarf or wrap do?  On a chilly evening, or in an air-conditioned building, a scarf can double as a shawl, draped around the shoulders for warmth.  Heading to the beach?  Spending the day poolside?  Bring your scarf!  Wrap it around your waist, pareo-style, for a quick and elegant swimsuit cover-up.  Wear it as a head-covering for a glamorous look.  While traveling to and from your warm weather destination, you’ll appreciate having a wrap handy – while on the chilly plane, and when you touch down in winter weather. 

A scarf or wrap is a superstar when it comes to simplifying the task of packing for your cruise or resort holiday.  Pack neutral clothing pieces that easily mix and match, such as white, navy, black and other solids.  Bring several boldly colored scarves to add a punch of color and drama to your outfits.  For example, a simple white dress becomes a gorgeous resort ensemble when a Dragonfly scarf is draped around the neck.  Or, make a color statement: start with a crisp blouse in bright pink, then top with a brightly patterned Aztec scarf.  Tropical Mirror is striking when paired with black.  Envision a black shell, white skirt and Tropical Mirror wrapped around the waist: simply beautiful.  For more inspiration on wearing scarves and wraps, see 6 Ways to Wear a Scarf. 

All scarves in the new line-up are a generous 80” by 28”, making them large enough to act as a shawl or pareo.  But the fine fabrics are compact, so not only do they work well as a scarf or head-wrap, they also pack small in your luggage or carry-on.  The Gottex scarves are 20% silk and 80% rayon, while Profile by Gottex scarves are 100% rayon.  All the scarves have a touch of sheerness, giving them a lovely airiness. 

What’s your favorite way to wear a scarf or wrap?
