This week our writer Lauren attended a T.J.Maxx store opening in Tribeca with a special tour from celebrity stylist Brad Goreski, who said whimsy is the word for summer! Inspired by his advice, we've rounded up some of the best pineapple picks under $150 (because really what's more whimsical than a pineapple pool float?!)
I requested a sample of this Burt's Bees Baby Nourishing Mineral Sunscreen and it's a hit! I put it to the test at the beach this week - for myself and two babes -and it worked great and left our skin feeling amazing, too. We were out in full sun about 2.5 hours.
This is so cool: Target just announced a new 360-degree shopping experience on Target.com that allows visitors to shop realistic computer-generated living rooms styled with furniture and home decor available at Target. Read more about it here.
For today's link round up, I thought it would be fun to put together a list of great Mother's Day gift ideas starting at just $3! There might be one (or ten) items I'm hoping to get myself...
1. The Bouqs Fresh Flower Bouquet I've ordered from The Bouqs dozens of times and I've never been disappointed. They have the best prices (lots of options under $50), and beautifully simple, tasteful arrangements.
2. Ceramic Rainbow by Eloeil
I saw this rainbow pop up a couple times in my Instagram feed, and every time it made me smile. Now I kinda need it. It's delightfully imperfect, whimsical and original.
3. Mama Needs Some Coffee Mug
You guys loved when I posted this on Instagram, and it's not hard to see why! Treat mom to this fun mug and her favorite fuel.
4. Faux Leather Backpack
Every mom needs a stylish carryall. I made the switch from diaper bag to faux-leather backpack in the fall, and I'm never going back. You can carry everything you need and keep your arms free. The faux leather and streamlined design really elevate this look!
5. Porcelain Trinket Tray
This dish is adorable and functional for keeping mom's everyday jewelry safe and close at hand. And guess what you guys, Target has a near identical trinket tray in the dollar spot for just $3! I'll post the pic to my Instagram soon.
6. Thirty One Bits 'Amour' Necklace
I love dainty jewelry for everyday. Tell mom you love her with this chic necklace from Thirty One Bits, a company that gives back to great causes, too.
7. Shop Stevie Floral Top
Here's another company I discovered via Instagram and naturally now I'm obsessed. I love all their tops because they're casual yet special, like this floral peplum tee.
8. J.Crew Horseshoe Hoop Earrings
Get in on the hoop earring trend...er, or should I say, get your mom in on the trend with these minimalist hoops by J.Crew. You...I mean, SHE will wear them with everything!
9. Rifle Paper Co. Recipe Tin
Okay here's another item I totally spotted in the Target dollar bins! I think their knockoffs are $5. Whichever one you choose, moms who love to cook or bake will appreciate this lovely way to organize and store precious recipes.
10. LuMee iPhone Case
My sister bought me a LuMee case for Christmas and months later, I'm still in love and I still have not had to charge the case! I can't believe it either. It's not only great for selfies, it's also perfect for video calls to mom.
And because I'm oddly practical, what I'd also like for Mother's Day is this raincoat in olive, and this peplum tee (under $20).
