Violet Revolution

For today’s Lookbook, I thought it would be fun to put together some items for your favorite woman in your life, your mom.  Yes, I know, it’s much more fun to shop for ourselves, but sometimes it’s nice to think of someone else for a while.   Or maybe you are a mom, and you can ‘hint, hint’ at these ideas for yourself, such as “I could really use a double chocolate cupcake or fabulous necklace or vacation” right now.   Hell, even if you’re not a mom, go for broke, and try to persuade someone to take you on vacation.  (Note to self: paste pictures of tropical paradise over fantasy sports on hubby’s computer screen.) 

Every lady loves jewelry.  Here’s 3 picks in 3 price points: Affordable (anyone should be able to afford this one for mom), A Little More, Worth It

Give her a vacation…somewhere.

At least if you’re going to get a card, get a handmade, handcut one. 

Dinner at cibomatto at The Wit hotel on State & Lake.  I’ve been here before…gorgeous atmosphere, amazing food. 

“Love Thy Mother” 3.5 hour spa treatment package at Spa Space including the Space Ritual Massage, Happy Feet Pedicure, and Seasonal Aromatherapy Manicure.

No, it’s not a box of chocolates…it’s a Chicago Chocolate Tour.  Walk off the calories at the same time!

No, these aren’t oranges…they’re Mimosa scented soaps by Epically Epic.  (Looks good enough to eat though.) 

Cupcakes are all the rage these days…one of my favorite places is Foiled Cupcakes.  The one pictured is their double chocolate cupcake (can you tell I like chocolate yet?)  Chocolate, jewelry, and vacations.
