Oh wait.. Mother's Day is just around the corner!
Did you know that Moms don't have to sacrifice style for function? It's true! And, did you know that you can buy yourself something special for Mother's Day? The affordable cost of these Coach handbags may even allow you to buy one for you and one for your mom.
With enough room to carry a few diapers, a sippy cup, your wallet, cell phone, a book or two for your toddler, these Coach handbags are all you need. No more switching back and forth from your nice handbag for dressy evenings out to your diaper bag for everyday shopping and play dates. These bags are perfect for nice evenings out and for play dates. Don't be selfish though, tell the other moms that they can afford one too. Costing less than some Coach bags these bags are affordable even during these insanely weird economic times. And you can assure your husband that the money was well spent because these bags will last for years. Enjoy!

Spring is definitely a time of transitions — and fast ones, at that; one day you need your down coat, and the next you're in shorts! InhabitNY is best known for their luxurious lightweight cashmere separates, with their body-conscious fit and delicately exposed seams, and now I've discovered their cotton line, which is just as sumptuous! In subtle neutrals with just a hint of color, the cotton V-neck (left) and the cotton cardigan (middle) have elegant extra-long sleeves and are made of a super fine 100% cotton knit, reminiscent of cashmere and perfect for layering. Some items are on sale; this stretch cashmere pullover vest caught my eye, because you could wear this into the fall over a tissue T or under a little cardigan. Also, don't miss their Spring 2009 line, and my favourite cotton/cashmere T-shirt, a perfect Mother's Day gift!
cotton long-sleeve v-neck – $158
essential cotton cardigan – $178
stretch cashmere pullover vest – regularly $278 now $198. All Sales Final.

On Mother's Day, we love gifts from our kids. Hand made art and breakfast in bed, but what most moms want is a little TLC. We want the day or weekend off from cleaning, cooking, and every day demands.
We want to relax, enjoy a little peace and quiet and be given a little extra attention. We want someone (hint, hint hubbies) to show us that 'Tender Loving Care' we show our loved ones and those around us every day. So for Mother's Day we want to be Pampered, and not worry about Dinner. Of course, a gift to tell us just how special we are is always appreciated!
Our favorite gift idea for your spouse on Mother's Day are these great Couples Pillowcases by Bold Loft. Why not use these pillows to inspire more romance in your bedroom!
We also think getting gifts delivered to us on 2 different days would be a great surprise. Send us a pampering set like the one from Red Envelope and show us some real TLC. A beautiful, simple and organic pair of pajamas are always a great gift because the pjs are luxurious and feminine without screaming sexy. These everyday pjs will make going to bed and waking up a calming time.
Consider pairing these decadent, special occasion chocolates with another small gift to tell your wife or mom you care. These are no run of the mill chocolates from the Grocery Store, these are Top Notch Decadence from Recchiuti Confections!
Link 2 Love Pillowcases by Bold Loft $36
2 Days of Gifts- Lavendar Relaxation $80
Organic Cotton Tank Pajamas $49
Recchiuti Confections- Mother's Day Burnt Carmel Chocolates- 8 pieces- $19

Mom – a rebel? Yes, perhaps. It's not unlikely that your mom may have even sat in on a few protests while she was an undergrad at Cal. Take the once 1960's civil rights activist and fast-forward to the modern yoga lovin', hybrid driving mom/grandma sporting a cheeky attitude.
A fabulous gift for the modern mom to embrace her radical side is a luxurious statement tee from Luxury Loves Company. The designs include slogans such as "Pardon Me", "My Way or the Highway", "Twice as Sweet as Sugar, Twice as Bitter as Salt." Also pop art graphics include imagery depicting Patty Hearst, the "Double Patty" with the words "Rich Girl" emblazoned across the back. Yes of course it is all in good fun.
All of Luxury Loves Company's products are produced in ethical and Fair Wear Foundation signatory factories, the luxurious eco-friendly fabrics include soft organic cotton and bamboo. The collection is currently sold in Kitson, Fred Segal Fun, and others.

TheFind got the insider scoop on the woman behind Luxury Loves Company, Diane Rosenstein:
What inspired you to launch LLC as a socially responsible/green luxury brand?
It was my only option, from the beginning. And the fabric quality is amazing! It's kind of easy to be a good guy, right? Honestly, who wouldn't favor ethical factory practices and sustainable farming. It's a simple choice — but a big decision. In today's highly competitive global workplace, doing "the right thing" can be the true luxury. "Green" is more than the word "organic": for LLC, it's about creating a product that has integrity. They say we're all judged by the company we keep!
What and Whom inspires the radical graphics on your statement tees? I loved 80s Divas like Chrissie Hynde, Debby Harry, and Madonna. Chic and Bad-Ass at the same time! I wanted to capture their sense of good naughty fun.
What has the reaction to the collection been so far? Great! People love the super soft feel and tell me that they've worn my tee 3 days in a row. Plus they get lots of attention and comments.
What is the most popular t-shirt design so far for women? The "Double Patty" for women. For men? Guys love the bullet print in "Too Many".
How would you define the LLC brand and what is your vision for the future? Luxury Loves Company is about artist collaboration, flexibility, and originality. We've just finished our first capsule collection in the "Artist Series": a series of electric colored flowers based on photograms by Los Angeles fine artist Farrah Karapetian.
What are a couple of your favorite hot spots for shopping in LA?
I love the boutiques on West 3rd Street and the edgy energy of Fairfax Avenue.
