Spoiling mum

I love May. It is not only Mother’s Day, but also my mom’s birthday month – so she gets spoilt twice within a two weeks and its so much fun. Picking out the perfect gift makes my heart very happy because she is my best friend and I know what she’ll love. I don’t think any gift could ever really repay her for all that she has done for me, and the sacrifices she has made for my brother and I. I think we all feel that way about our moms. We don’t really understand how much they’ve really done for us until its almost too late to say thank you. 

 If I could do anything for my mom it would be to take her barging and wine tasting through France – which I am working towards – but for now I’ve got some pretty and thoughtful ideas for spoiling mom which I thought I'd share with you.

Pineapple/ Ananas/ Piña

Whichever way you say it, the pineapple is rather hot right now. Pineapple print seems to be just about everywhere, from tote bags, to bedsheets.

It's very young and girly, so you need to be careful with how you style this print - or else you're going to look like the 2014 remake of "13 going on 30". A shopper/tote bag or printed vest is probably safest - or anything beach related with this print is pretty.
If you're going to take the trend to your accessories, keep it dainty and simple with a ring or bracelet. And for some flirty fun, you can always express your summer love affair with pineapple print by upgrading your phone case.
