Mother’s Day is just over two weeks away! I have rounded up my favorite Mother’s Day gifts and there is still plenty of time for standard shipping. xoxo
I have grown up going to the lake almost every weekend, spending time on my family’s ski boat. Sailing, however, is not something I have had a lot of experience in, so I jumped on the opportunity to go sailing with my friends! I quickly learned how much work goes into it. You are always pulling, steering, and tying, but the Texas sunset made it all worth it. Since it has started to cool off in the evenings, I knew that it would get chilly on the water, and I would need a fairly warm sweater. I found this nautical striped sweater at Banana Republic and it was perfect for the evening. I love the v neck line and the variation of the horizontal stripes. The sleeves were easy to roll up and the knit blend is 25% merino wool, so it is both soft and warm. I am wearing a size small and it fits well without being too tight. It is also easy to care for because it is machine washable. I paired the sweater with my favorite skinny jeans from Gap and classic navy canvas Sperry Topsiders.

It is hard to believe my grandmother, Monna, is 81 (almost 82) years old! Her exercise routine includes walking a few miles in NorthPark Center every morning before starting her day. Monna started walking to help maintain a healthy lifestyle, relieve stress, and improve her overall physical health. She likes to walk in NorthPark Center because it is safe, climate controlled, and the flat surface reduces her chance of falling. If you walk once around the square layout (including the short hallways), it is just over a mile. She also enjoys the ability to check her blood pressure in the mall every Tuesday at 7 am, thanks to Medical City Hospital.
“It is a safe place and climate controlled. It is pleasant because it is well kept, floral arrangements are beautiful, and I enjoy the art work. I am able to window shop all the latest trends without going bankrupt.”
When Monna started walking every morning, she knew that she needed the proper shoes to relieve pressure to her knees and hips. In order to make sure her shoes fit her needs, she went to RunOn where they recommended Asics Kayano 22 athletic shoes. Since Monna is always matching perfectly, naturally, she needed some jogging suits to go with her new shoes. She likes to buy pants with pockets so she can carry her cell phone and car keys without the hassle of a purse. Some of her favorite brands for walking clothes are Ralph Lauren, Under Armour, Tory Burch, Chicos, and Michael Kors. Shop some “Monna approved” jogging suits below! xoxo
