Therapie for Mother's Day!

"It's not easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it."
~The Golden Girls

We all know that the Mothers in our lives deserve far more than just one day in their honour.  Make it count this Sunday and shower that incredible person we all so love with gifts they'll love!

Present your mother the whole world in a small box!  Christian LaCroix's Six Continents Boxed Notebook Set is simply exquisite.  With six beautiful, hardbound books, LaCroix fascination with world fashion and culture comes to life in a colourful collage - Asia, Europa, America, Oceana, Africa and Antarctica.  This is your own Christian LaCroix fashion show across the maps of the world in a slipcase.  A truly worthy gift!

 

   Voluspa Maison Blanc Ceramic Candles are as beautiful to look at as they are to smell.  Pink Citron, Gardenia Colonia and Elysian Garden are my favourite Spring scents and fabulously feminine. 

Wide-brimmed, sun hats are perfect for the Spring and Summer.

Chambray Floppy Hat is a light and cool cotton/linen hat.

Adjustable Ribbon Crusher is just as it's name suggests - crushable, packable and adjustable.  The perfect hat for hot, sunny adventures.

Ribbon Crusher with Bow is also crushable and packable.  Very light and guaranteed to keep sun out.

Anna Floppy Hat is adjustable, practical and chic!

 Traditional but chic florals:

Paperbraid Cloche Hat is one of my favourite hat shapes. 

Women's Paper Fedora - Gotta love a masculine fedora with a feminine floral touch.

Freedom Liberty UK Cotton Pouch is perfectly royal.

  Keeping to the florals theme, this floral wristlet can be dressed up or down and most importantly, can hold a suprising amount of 'necessities.' 

Haute Notes - Christian Lacroix Papier

I am one who will always need to write things down rather than type into a PDA.  I carry a pad everywhere I go, and notebooks don't get more mind-blowing than this for me.  Parisian couturier, Christian Lacroix has a line of notebooks featuring his amazing artwork.  Truly a feast for the eyes, ever think you could own a lavish haute couture Lacroix sketch?  These journals inspire me to pen masterpieces worthy of being in such impossibly chic vessels.  This is a place where you want to keep thoughts forever.
