This week was all about classic style, and gifts for Mom! With Mother’s Day fast approaching, it is the perfect time to snap up a beautiful fragrance for her to rock this spring and well into the summer season. It is also a perfect time to give her the gift a fabulous new handbag she can show off to the world!

Floral fragrances, top handle bags, hobo bags, and classic blazers are hot right now. If you haven’t added a blazer to your wardrobe, now is the time to do it! A blazer instantly elevates a pair of jeans and a tee, plus, it can be used as the perfect cover up when the fog rolls in as we move into late spring, and the summer season.

I’m very addicted to blazers this year! They will be hot for fall too, so a classic blazer is a fabulous investment. Of course, designers are showing bright blue and orange for fall too! So, if you want color, indulge in a bright hue.

Mother’s Day is coming up! This means you might be looking for some fabulous Mother’s Day gift ideas to help inspire the perfect gift for Mom. This year, I am loving understated jewelry, IT bags, and fresh fragrances.

One of the more special gifts are these beautiful stackable, gemstone bracelets made by a local designer who is also an amazing Mom. Her bracelets are affordable, and they are available in so many pretty gemstones! I love all the colors! She also has pretty mushrooms, and hearts for the gemstone collector. The ideal gift would be three bracelets that mom can stack. Or pick up one bracelet she can add to an existing collection. Love!

Classic black blazer and jeans for spring

Outfit details: golden earrings / turquoise and gold necklace / white tee / black blazer / spring nail polish / gold ring / pink bucket bag / G buckle belt / dark wash skinny jeans / slingback block heels /

Remember black blazers over jeans in the 1990s? It was my go-to look back in the day! This is one 1990s trend I am thrilled to see return to the streets. There is something chic about a blazer and jeans, especially a classic black blazer. Love!

I love pairing a single-breasted blazer with jeans. The one button closure offers a slightly effortless look which double breasted blazers do not offer. Since jeans are inherently casual, the single-breasted look offers a natural overall vibe. Of course, don’t get me wrong, I still love a double-breasted blazer with jeans, I just love a single-breasted blazer with jeans a wee bit more.

This was a great look for enjoying a delicious pasta lunch at Bella Saratoga the other day. Bella Saratoga is a fabulous Italian restaurant in Saratoga, California. It is perfect for a date night, or lunch with the girls.

I enjoyed the Fettucine Bianco at Bella Saratoga. It is absolutely delicious and my favorite dish on the menu. If you are local, be sure to try Bella Saratoga, it is rally yummy!

Are you loving the current blazer trend this spring 2022 season? Is it something you have been wearing?
