BOSS JOUR Pour Femme
“The day starts at dawn – write your own story,” pretty much sums up the sophisticated new fragrances by BOSS Perfumes. For most women (mom included) the start of your day begins with anticipation of what a new day will bring. That exciting moment is the premise of what this new scent is all about. “With a combination of delicate white flowers and vibrant citrus we were able to create something feminine, elegant, and sophisticated. The aim was to not only make women feel beautiful, composed and inspired, but give them a fragrance that combined this with a soft burst of freshness that mirrored that feeling of anticipation and excitement at the first light of day,” says Will Andrews, Fragrance Creation Team Procter & Gamble Prestige. BOSS Jour Pour Femme can be found at HUGO BOSS stores and www.hugoboss.com for $78.
EAU DE LACOSTE is the perfect fragrance to celebrate the mother in your life. The latest fragrance celebrates the modern and elegant woman with fresh scents of a bouquet of white flowers and the crisp and clean smell of cotton. “For EAU DE LACOSTE, the universe of the brand is very clear: the iconic crocodile, the petit piqué cotton and the classic lineage of the fashion label,” says Antoine Delgrange, Global Marketing Director P&G Prestige. “So we looked at turning this simple fashion design philosophy into a feminine and beautiful sensorial experience,” he adds. We couldn’t agree more. Pick up this fragrance for $65 for mom at Lacoste boutiques andwww.lacoste.com.
This year, get your mother something she’ll love at an affordable price. LUSH cosmetics has a very special Mother’s Day variety of great smelling and fun looking products ranging from $5 to $100. A beautiful spring bloom for her tub is the perfect gift to help take the stress away. We love the Mother’s Day gift packages this year, like Sweetest Mum ($34.95) –a selection of uplifting fruity scents that will help mom jump into spring. This special Mother’s Day collection provides many other cute packages and a wide variety of different scents and colors. Along with the Mother’s Day special products, LUSH also includes blush, lip balms and many other cosmetics to choose from to make the perfect gift.
Everyone needs time off. Now, you, mom and the family can spend quality time together with a trip to Thompson Chicago. Along with your luxurious stay, mom will get what she loves –lots of memories, because for Mother’s Day weekend, you can surprise her with an onsite photo shoot with the family! Chicago photographer Scott Thompson, along with stylish wardrobe consultant April Francis and a glam squad courtesy of Pretty Quick, will make this a photo session you’ll never forget.

Who can pass up sweet treats from Magnolia Bakery? Certainly, not us. For Mother’s Day, pick up delicious treats like the Sweet Sayings Cupcake (devil’s food cupcake, filled with chocolate) or Flower Cupcake (a classic chocolate or vanilla topped with a gorgeous floral design). Magnolia Bakery is located at 108 North State Street in Chicago.
