» how beautiful is this photo of my Mom?! I am loving that varsity sweater + rose embroidered collar combo. So genius. «

WOW. You guys, I can’t thank you enough for all of your fabulous entries in the Mother’s Day Giveaway!

I wish more than anything I could have chosen all of you, BUT I promise there will be a lot more giveaways in the future!! I love love love giving back to you guys, so this is something you can count on. It’s the least I can do.

I had so much fun reading all your guys’ Mom’s best advice (I read each & everyone of them!!) & thought I would share a few of my favorites. No one, and I mean no one, has better advice than the mothers out there. Am I right? This post is CHOCK FULL of some bomb ass life lessons to live by.

» major style inspo right here, & I also want to sit on the hood of a vintage car & eat watermelon. So chic. «

As for my Mom. She is just a mecca of fabulous advice… some of my favorites include:

♥ “Don’t ever say ‘SHUT UP’ to people. It’s not nice to silence someone’s feelings/opinion.”

♥ “You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”

♥ “Your sister is your best friend, forever.”

♥ & a personal favorite (not really advice, but just something she says), “I love you more than the moon, stars, & sky above”.

I hope you guys also like the blast from the past photos of my GORGEOUS Mama (& some of us). Not too long ago we came upon a mecca of old photographs of my parents from before we existed & it’s such a goldmine. I literally wish I had her entire vintage wardrobe & nothing beats a good 35mm photo.

Okay, now IT’S YOUR GUYS’ TURN to share your Mama’s best advice! Ready, set, go…
