I think moms—and here I mean all who do the work of mothering—deserve
to be celebrated for doing the world’s toughest and most rewarding job all
year. But I will take Mother’s Day as an excuse to highlight some of our most
delightful and indulgent pieces. I tend to embrace neutrals because they
make my life with two little kids easier, but I love the dramatic elegance of
a dash of color, like this Loewe bag, or this Laetitia Rouget candle holder, or a
swipe of this Ami Colé lip gloss. I particularly love the way a soft periwinkle blue looks against red, which is why I was drawn to these joyous La DoubleJ plates and this fish pendant from Gumps, which is the sort of piece you can layer or wear on its own over just about anything. And as for no-fail gifts for the mother in your life, you can never go wrong with a cozy, plush robe or a pair of classic-with-a-twist earrings, like this silver and pearl set from Agmes.
