A Mother’s Day LYSST

Mother’s Day is, of course, a special time to be with your family.
But, let’s be honest, it’s also a nice excuse to have that rare day when the focus
is solely on you! And, hopefully, that includes a gift (or two) from the people
who love you most.

Here’s a run-down of my favorite gifts for Mother’s Day—just
leave it out for your loved ones, in case they need a little inspiration.


Ferragamo Signorina Perfume

Fragrance is many a gentleman’s go-to for Mother’s Day—and this
one’s my favorite this year. It’s light and very wearable thanks to notes of
jasmine and rose, with a hint of spicy pink pepper for sophistication.

$74, ferragamo.com


Dior Mohotani SunglassesDior_sunglasses.jpg

Sunglasses do everything from protect your eyes at the playground
to hide exhaustion when you’re dropping the kids off at school. This sleek pair
is unquestionably stylish with its cat-eye shape, helping you channel your inner
Sophia Loren—even during diaper changes.
