Sailor hats, anchors and bold blue stripes infiltrated runways this year, and suddenly red white and blue had a whole new meaning for fashion. With this craze, dressing like you’re out to sea just isn’t enough. To really look the part you’ve gotta go all out, and painting your nails like a buccaneer is the way to do it.

This Mother’s Day everyone and their mother will be dining out… Literally! Avoid the insanity and do something more thoughtful: have a picnic! There are a few different elements to throwing the perfect picnic for your mother.

1. PICK A LOCATION:
Selecting a location is critical. You don’t want to be near a noisy street, or somewhere you’ll be bothered. Your local park should have a cute spot. Beach picnics are also relaxing and cute, but beware of the sand/wind combination. Next to a river or lake is great alternative. Wherever you plan to go, scope it out prior to Sunday to find the perfect spot.

2. PICK YOUR MENU
Picnics don’t normally contain complex dishes, but you should always enhance the normal picnic foods. Try a sundried tomato & pesto pasta salad and add her favorite veggies. Or add some avocado or artichokes to your sandwiches. No matter what, she’ll love it. After all, she’s your mom.

3. SURPRISE HER!
You don’t want mom to know your picnic plans, so tell her you’re taking her out to eat. Hide the food in the trunk, and when you arrive at your picnic destination she’ll be pleasantly surprised. Don’t forget a blanket to sit on!

Though the days of gothic fashion are somewhat behind us, taking inspiration from previous trends and incorporating it into your wardrobe has become a trend in itself. Black has finally reclaimed its name this season. Although dark tones are known to attract heat, there are still ways to stay cool and current in shady hues.

The southern gothic look is perfect for those who like to think, or dress, outside of the box. When you relate southern to fashion most people envision a white lace, denim jeans, cowboy boots and a “yee-haw” – but fashion doesn’t need to be that ordinary! We’ve thrown together a few Lily White outfits that incorporate the increasing popularity of lace with a surprising combination of darker tones, creating a cute southern twist.
