Gifts for the trendy mom
Don’t you just love it that your mother never questions how you can wear heels that high, and can appreciate the appeal of animal prints? Show how much you approve of her style-setting ways with these chic pieces at Rustan’s.
L.A.M.B.: Pop superstar Gwen Stefani’s highly-successful eclectic label which stands for Love Angel Music Baby upgrades the classic black pump. Now it’s two-toned, fitted with a gold conical heel and embellished with gold rivets in the heel area. If your mother is as trendy and as open to fashion as you claim she is, she’ll love this pair. No doubt!
Giuseppe Zanotti: Zanotti’s sophisticated styles and posh decorations, loved by celebs such as Lucy Liu, Katherine Heigl and Alicia Keys, have had the US press deeming him a designer for women with substance — tell this tidbit to Mom and watch her blush. Though his key item for summer ’08 is the sexy pump, Giuseppe Zanotti also comes up with another version of the jewel sandal, an ubiquitous item in every collection, this time more intricate than ever.
Dolce Vita: It certainly is the sweet life with any of Dolce Vita’s sexy summer sandals. Stylish and well constructed, the design slate includes red T-strap sandals, fuchsia buckled slides and snakeskin print gladiator-style sandals with the barest of straps. Throw in a pedicure and foot scrubs at one of the metro’s swanky salons and your ma is good to go — anywhere.
Corso Como: Not exactly your usual ballet flat, this cute pair with cutout details from Corso Como is bound to be your mother’s newest everyday pair. They’re perfect for malling, will go well with her lunch-with-the-ladies outfits, and are comfortable enough when she’s trying to run after her grandkids.
BCBG: She knows all to well that those flat envelope clutches are sooo passé. Don’t disappoint Mom; give her this quilted evening bag that’s as cute as it is stylish. Fastened with a gold chain, this bag will be the perfect finisher to her new frock.
Report Signature: If your mom keeps mouthing “That’s hot” to every thing that catches her eye, then she’ll surely repeat the phrase when she sees what new footwear brand Report Signature has to offer. These sexy pairs won’t fail to make your mom hearken back to her youth. Plus, you just have to add that Paris Hilton is a fan.
Victoria Beckham jeans: After all the hours she spends at the gym just to lose an extra five pounds, a pair of snug-fitting Victoria Beckhams would just be the icing on your mother’s cake. The former Spice Girl’s jean line flatters every figure, partly because of the tasteful dark wash she uses.
Juicy Couture: Yo momma probably doesn’t listen to hip-hop but she doesn’t have to to appreciate this sweet little tote from Juicy Couture. The colors — black and white — are safe enough but it’s the gigantic bow on one side of this drawstring bag that makes it a bag worth toting.
