Happy Fourth of July! I know I usually post Weekend Words of Wisdom on Saturdays, but I thought I would mix it up a little for the holiday. Every year my family spends the fourth of July at our lake house eating endless amount of barbecue and homemade ice cream. Luckily the temperatures are mild enough (at least for a July in Texas) to continue wearing my white jeans. Usually there is not much color in my closet, but I have been making an effort to buy colors other than black and white. This tank from J.Crew is on of my favorites, so naturally I bought it in every color, including black and white. Shop some of my favorite red, white and blue looks below and enjoy celebrating the fourth! xoxo

 Mother’s day is just around the corner and I always have the hardest time finding gifts for my parents. Occasionally I will think of something my mom needs, then she will go buy it herself in a split second. However I can always count on my mom needing stationery. She writes more hand written notes than anyone I know and she loves personalized stationery. I found a wide range of stationery options at Minted and they were so easy to personalize. I chose the Crisp Color Stationery with the scalloped edge and was able to choose my own fonts and color (red, my mom’s favorite).

While browsing the endless stationery options on Minted, I kept running across their custom print collection. They offer framed prints created by numerous independent contributing artists ranging in medium and subject. While I loved all the artwork created by each contributor, my mom loves pictures, especially of our family. My brother and I recently took a picture with our mom at Easter, and I knew she would love a print for her office. Minted has a collection of foil printed designs to accompany the image or images of your choice. I chose the Gold Foil XO Print with a black frame out of their numerous framing options.

If you are looking for the perfect personalized gift for mom or someone special this spring, be sure to check out everything Minted.com has to offer. They also have great gifts for the upcoming graduation and wedding season. I have teamed up with Minted to give all my readers 10% off your next purchase using code: PEARL10 before May 7th. xoxo
