Mother’s Day Week – Bucket Bag

Happy Thursday! I think all fashionistas can agree that one of the major brands to come out in the past few years is Manusr Gavriel. When they first came out their bags would sell out immediately and it sometimes took over 2 months for them to come back in stock. Bucket bags have been in style for years and Mansur Gavriel has brought them back from the dead. My Mom has a custom green bucket bag that she had made over 30 years ago on her honeymoon and it still looks brand new! If your Mom this holiday has been lusting over a new bag this is a  great one for her. My Uncle’s got me the mini bucket bag for my birthday this year and I am obsessed with it. The regular bucket bag is significantly bigger and comes with a small pouch as well, but I personally didn’t want a huge bag to carry around on a daily basis. I did try on the mini mini bucket bag and yes my Iphone 6s Plus fit inside the bag, but not much else did. I personally would get my Mom the bucket bag, but in black with silver interior or the navy. This bag is so elegant and yes because of the kind of leather it does get scratched up easily, but honestly all bags get marks on them eventually over time. Just as long as you take care of your bag and put it away properly you won’t have any problems. I am stickler for putting my bags back in their purse bags they come in and I would especially do it for this bag as well so it doesn’t get any additional scratches in your closet. If you don’t think your Mom would like the bucket bag another popular style that has been seen multiple times on Gigi Hadid is the Lady Bag. It comes with a long strap which is nice if you want to wear it cross-body while walking. Check out their website now and order before it’s too late! They also are carried on other retail website and in some select stores. <3

Mother’s Day Week – Hump Day Treat Serving Dishes

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone has had a great day today and is ready for the weekend. For today’s hump day treat I wanted to include something that is great for serving your treats.I think a great gift for your Mom this Mother’s day are glass serving dishes to serve there treats all year. Funny enough this gift was given to me by my Mom. When looking for serving dishes glass I believe just looks more fun and are easier to clean than most dishes. These glass heart shaped dishes are great for serving vegetables, nuts and other treats. Sometimes the simplest foods can be made to look more appealing to your guests just by how you serve them. My Mom has a similar set at home and she uses it almost every holiday. She mainly uses it to serve her famous spinach dip with assorted vegetables, but there are so many options. I personally used mine the other day to serve chocolate covered raisins from Costco. They are my absolute favorite easy sweet to eat on a daily basis. I have seen similar glass dishes to this one at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue, but you don’t need to necessarily get these dishes in a heart shape. Think about your Mom and what she loves to serve when guests come over and then go from there. Bed Bath & Beyond also has a great selection of glass dishes for serving and if you go online you can use their 20% coupon from your phone. We all know those are a gold mine because they never expire :-). I hope this helps all of you who are still looking for a gift for Mother’s Day which reminder is on Sunday! Crazy that I ran into people today at the store who didn’t realize it was this weekend.

Mother’s Day Week – Fitness Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Normally on Just Jodi Style today would be Fitness Tuesday, but with Mother’s day around the corner I wanted to focus on a Mother’s Day fitness gift idea. Now personally I know that my mom wouldn’t come with me to SoulCycle or any of my work out classes, but she prefers to work out at home. I have previously posted about how she loves to take the stairs everyday in my parents office building as her form of exercise for the week, but not everyone has that luxury to do that. One of my friends recently told me that her Mom saw Khloe Kardashian using an ab roller wheel in one of her workouts and she wanted on herself. Now before I ever tell my Mom about any at home work out I like to test it out myself to see if I enjoy and also to make sure she it isn’t too much for her. This ab roller wheel I got from Amazon and it was only $15!!! First off such a steal at that price and secondly it was very easy to put together. It came in a small box and just a few pieces and I was rolling my way to flatter abs. I have noticed that the ab roller does work better and easier while using it on my carpet vs the hardwood floors. On the hardwood floors I felt like anytime I moved over a crack in the wood I felt like I was going over a speed bump. However, this is also difficult on marble floors because you don’t have as much control with the ab roller wheel as you would on carpet. I have personally bought one for my home in Miami for my Mom, but shh she doesn’t know it yet so nobody tell her please 🙂 . I hope everyone is having a great Tuesday so far and getting all of their last minute Mother’s Day gifts! This ab roller wheel is also available on Amazon Prime so you know it will definitely get there before Sunday!

Mother’s Day Week – Monday

 

Happy Monday! I know I haven’t posted in a while I have been busy traveling and working on great new content for Just Jodi Style. This week I wanted to focus on Mother’s Day and different ideas you can do for the female figure in your life. Today I wanted to discuss monogramming. Now in recent years it has become more of a trend to get something customized whether it be an item of clothing or even your cell phone. Anything can be customized, but monogramming is something that is as my mom would like to say “old school”. I say this because it is more expensive and takes more time than just ironing on someone’s initials to a top. However, monogramming last a lot longer than a simple ironed on insignia that you can find on Etsy. This past Thanksgiving I purchased these unreal vintage pajamas from J. Crew with their Cyber Monday deals. I found out about these pajamas when my old boss had purchased them as a bridal shower gift for one of her friends. She told me how you can get them monogramed as well on their site. If your Mom is the type of person not to wear matching sets I still believe this is the gift for you to get. It comes in three colors (White, Navy and Hydrangea) and it also comes in both short and long sleeve options. Personally I chose the long sleeve option for those cold winter nights. I will say to be careful when selecting your monogramming and what order you place your initials in. I personally called J. Crew to verify I was putting it in the correct order prior to purchasing them. Since Mother’s day is this Sunday and it takes a few weeks for these to come in if you are still interested in purchasing them for your Mom you can always print off a picture of the pajamas inside your card with a cute little saying that works for your Mom.  Hope everyone has a great day! <3
