LE CATCH

The ready-to-go skirt/top combo situation that's happening this season completely mitigates the head-scratching outfit-choosing guesswork, and I am very psyched about this. Zara cashes in on this trend with the above, but so does Staud, The Reformation, Alexis, A.L.C., and Three Graces London. Bonus, of course, is pieces can be worn separately!

Mother's Day splurge, anyone? Count me in! I recently indulged in Heritage Jewelry New York's Family Circle necklace, below, which has my birthstone in the pendant's center, surrounded by my sons' stones in the surrounding slices. I also adore the cute script rings, above. More Mother's Day treats on my wish list: this crochet Ulla Johnson dress, this one-shoulder Bassike tank, these Gucci slides, this cherry-print Yumi Kim, and this Valentino raffia clutch.

Getting back to business here, and it looks like the celebratory party right now is all in the back, in case you want to join in the fun. I want to crank up the festivities in any of these revelers from

I have some new family members I'd like you to meet! They like the sun as much as I do, are refreshingly low maintenance and can light up a room just like that! Meet my plants from Leon & George, a curated plant and pot delivery service that offers bonus lifetime plant support--key for my nascent green thumb! I'm also sprucing things up around the house with this, this and this, and, oh, this eye-candy, unusually fragrant (Juniper!) Loewe candle is next-level good.

Not only does it help to have the most gifted mindfulness and meditation guide, intuitive healer, and certified herbalist in my inner circle (thank you, Cyia Batten!), but it's also beneficial that she doles out style tips to me, too! Her latest share: Who What Wear's latest collection, which dabbles in Ulla Johnson boho-chic (this, this and this), everyday denim (above) and the most stylish stripes. Amen!

P.S. Cyia Batten is an LA-based wellness pro and intuitive healer who provides support in self-empowerment and stress reduction! A true life-saver! She does virtual sessions, too!

Heads-up: All kinds of denim desirables are on sale at Shopbop right now, along with other spring goodies! Look out for super wearable jean skirts (like this and this), plus the most flattering jeans from Boyish, Mother, Citizens of Humanity, and Slvrlake. And to go with them: this sexy Nanushka sweater, this chambray Amo shirt, and this Alice + Olivia striped pullover!

In case you need some help navigating this season's printed pants trend, take a look at Selma Kaci's Instagram feed. The Paris-based creative director pulls it off printastically--and then some! Her strategy is anchored in go-big prints and mixing and matching, then grounding it all in norm-core sneakers and easy, relaxed silhouettes. I like! I'd like to take a cue from her play book with these patterns from The Reformation, Zara, One Teaspoon, Derek Lam 10 Crosby, Alaia, and Faithfull the Brand.

I'm not above pilfering the kids' department for a good find. Case in point: these fun mini Gucci bags, above and below, that are significantly less expensive than their adult counterparts!
