10 Gifts that Mom will Love at Stella Ivy Boutique

     Everywhere you look has suggestions for ways to make 
Mother’s Day memorable.  Endless commercials feature diamond 
jewelry, spa packages, and even fancy cars.  Those ideas are great, 
and we'd all LOVE to be able to pamper Mom with those gifts that
she’s earned over the years for all she’s had to put up with from us, 
but many of us can't afford to dish out that kind of cash.  

     On the other hand, advertisers tease us with affordable gifts 
from chain stores that Mom is SURE to love—chocolate, cooking 
utensils, and my personal favorite, a t-shirt printed with
 “BECAUSE I SAID SO!” in neon letters.  I don't know about YOUR 
mom, but my Mom isn't the “BECAUSE I SAID SO!” kind of girl.

     When I think of my mother, I picture shopping for a best 
friend. She likes the same things I like—jewelry, clothes, and time 
to pamper herself.  She’s supported me over the years in countless
ways that I’ll never be able to repay, but I do know just the place 
to start…Stella Ivy Boutique! Here are 10 items that Mom is sure to LOVE at 
Stella Ivy Boutique this Mother's Day!

3.  Blackberry Bottom Frames 
  • How better to frame a picture of her favorite child…YOU! (Price Point- $25-64.90)

4.  Victoria Lynn Jewelry

Date Night Outfits


Every Friday and Saturday night, it’s the same ole story — what the heck am I going to wear for date night? Which look do you go for? Bold with personality...comfy and cute...or do you keep it simple, yet sexy?

Your date night outfit is your picture that is worth a thousand words. It is your chance to shine. Your moment to strut your stuff. Whether it’s a first date or seven years of marital bliss, your date night is your time to show your man you still got it! At Stella Ivy, we have just the outfit to fit your style! 

For our simple, yet sexy look, we love these two outfits from our spring collection. {Date Night Dresses} You could very easily dress these up or down. Style these two dresses with a pair of booties or your favorite heels. Our favorite part about the pink Buddy Love dress (bottom) is the detail on the back, so be sure to show it off! This dress would pretty amazing for any occasion. We paired this dress with Love Poppy quatrefoil gold earrings. The white dress (pictured on top) is perfect if you love embroidery detailing and are wanting to try out the uneven hem line trend. This dress is selling like crazy at the store! 


When it comes to personality, we have a lot of that! At Stella Ivy, we love bold, bright colors. We are absolutely loving this BuddyLove Kimono {click here to purchase}. We paired it with a white seamless tunic tank and a Love Poppy necklace. These colors just shout spring. You can easily transition this into strip with white skinny jeans or denim shorts! 



After a long work week, it’s nice to just throw on your favorite comfy, cute outfit and go. These two outfits are effortless and most certainly flawless. Whether your style is preppy or a little boho, we know these outfits would be spot on for you! In the top, we paired a distressed mocha v-neck t with our green cardi. We completed this look with a camel floppy hat and a gold Love Poppy drop heart necklace. In the bottom pic, we paired the same v-neck distressed mocha t with a boho coral cardi and a turquoise headband. You can easily change the accessories for a completely different look.
