This week was all about handbags, spring nail polish, and stocking up on basics for spring such as jeans. This is also the perfect time to find that special gift for mom. Mother’s Day is fast approaching! Check out my post filled with Mother’s Day gift ideas.

I absolutely adore these beautiful gemstone bracelets. They are made by a local jewelry designer here in San Jose, California. All of her bracelets are priced under $50, making them a special yet affordable gift. I highly recommend purchasing three. The ideal bracelet stack is three bracelets. Since it is the beginning of short sleeve season, Mom will love these bracelets because she can show them off on her arm! Love that!

It was the week of accessories! Everyone is snapping up handbags, shoes, and nail polish as we move deeper into the spring season.

Nail polish for spring is in a variety of fun colors this year. There are vivid pastels, daring rose hues, and playful pops of pastel yellow. Whether you prefer classic nail polish hues, or avant-garde mani’s, there is a spring nail color for you!

Tote bags, hobo bags, pouch bags, and small top handle bags are hot this spring season, and they are selling like hotcakes! Which spring handbag trend is your favorite? This work tote, chain pouch, and structured hobo were quite popular this week.

Slingbacks are everywhere, and this pair is both on trend and comfortable. Love that! Slingbacks are great because you can wear them through the summer season, and into the warm, first half of the fall season.

Graduation gift ideas 2022

Can you believe graduation season is upon us? I feel like this year has gone by so quickly! I have several grad’s to buy something special for this spring, so I put together a graduation gift guide filled with gift ideas which will work for many grad’s this year.

Is your grad heading off to a fabulous new job? Why not gift her a practical yet fabulous work tote! I chose work totes from designers which are sturdy, long-lasting, and can handle a ton of wear and tear. Plus, they have “name status” without breaking the bank. Love that! Choose from a fun tote for a creative work environment or a solid color tote for a more conservative and professional work environment.

Everyone needs a scarf. A scarf is a classic accessory which she can keep for decades. I have several which I purchased in the 1990s and I still pull them out of my drawer and wear them often. Scarves are great because they take the place of a necklace, and when you are a new grad starting out, you don’t have the money to buy necklaces for every office outfit. A scarf can also add personal style to any look. Scarves work well in both creative and conservative work environments. Love that!

She worked hard to earn her degree, why not gift her with beautiful jewelry? Even a high school grad can receive a beautiful piece of grown-up jewelry for graduation. You cannot go wrong with gemstone bracelets, or classic pearls. They can be worn to the office, on weekends, and for dressy occasions. She will love them!

Not sure what to get? Every girl needs a practical yet on-trend handbag! This convertible handbag comes with a cross body strap and a short, trendy strap. She will love a new bag which offers classic style, and a bit of practicality. Love that!

I hope you love these graduation gift ideas for 2022! Hopefully the grad’s on my list won’t see this post, haha, then they will have a hint as to what I bought for them! Ooops! haha
