For the Bath
Life is stressful. It can be stressful for seemingly no reason or it can be stressful because you're about to pull your hair out due to a statistics final on Saturday night...although that is probably just me. No matter what you're going through little things can make your day better. So when you're feeling super stressed or overwhelmed, grab your favorite bath time remedies. Anyone use Barr & Co products? They are darling in their vintage-esque packaging and simple look.
These luxury soaps and lotions are the perfect addition to not only a stressful day, but a gift. Mom, graduate or that favorite teacher of yours. Teacher Appreciation Day is tomorrow, May 10th! Go appreciate that teacher and get them something luxurious. After all, they deserve it. Without teachers, the kids would be home all day!
Happy Wednesday!

For the Home
So lately I have been talking about personal products for you (or a loved one) but now I'd like to turn the attention to a love of mine...pillows. Yes, pillows. Do you share or even understand why I love pillows so much? They are an easy way to add some much needed flare to that couch/bed/chair of yours without having to go buy new furniture! They can set the mood or make a room more cohesive, simply by adding that extra color or print to tie in the whole room. Not to mention, they are a great accessory when watching a scary movie (or crying from watching The Notebook for the fiftieth time...)
First up, Trina Turk pillows. I die. They are beautiful. And not only that, but they are really, truly, so comfortable and soft. Perfect for many size seats and other various places of seating.
See? They fit nicely on a mid-sized couch, there is still room for you know, yourself and a friend, but it doesn't look empty and sad. Have a bigger couch? Get more pillows. Mix and match the patterns for fun flare!
Other than Trina Turk pillows, we have festive fiesta pillows at Adelante! They come in different sizes, as seen above, paired with the Trina Turk pillows, and would look great in a variety of settings. Even on an enclosed outdoor patio with the rad straw furniture and favorite summer cocktail to survive the heat, they would bring such life to the setting.
How adorable are these fiesta pillows? I'm obsessed. Now, only a few of the pillows got featured, so make sure you go check out the other prints available, it will be worth it, promise!

Give me MOR
Britney Spears reference? No? Okay. My age is showing... embarrassing. Regardless of the failed pun attempt, you really should check out MOR cosmetics/soaps in store, they are darling. They come in a range of colors and scents. Along with being adorably packaged, they make a fun, creative gift that isn't your everyday Bath & Body Works.
I love this gift set. The pink, the black, the gold. It smells really good, too! Also, take all those products out (soap, lip balm and lotion I believe) and use that tin to hold your favorite trinkets! Maybe some festive jewelry? Or even a stationary kit? The possibilities are endless. I wouldn't say no if someone gave me a MOR tin.
There are a variety of options for that grad or mom waiting for you! You can create your own gift set by picking and choosing the scents and kinds of products that will be perfect for your person. Come in to Adelante and we can even gift wrap it for you, topping it with colorful ribbon and festive flowers, perfect for Spring!
Happy Monday!

Meet...Amanda Sterett
Until Mother's Day, I'll be showing you some gifts for mom or anyone else that may have a special day coming up! This includes graduation, wedding showers, a gift for yourself...whatever. Today I'd like to turn everyone's attention to Amanda Sterett, specifically the Amanda Sterett earrings.
Amanda Sterett is a Texas Tech University graduate who worked at Ralph Lauren for several years before taking a wire wrapping class and beginning the work of hand making beautiful jewelry, strongly influenced by color. Her creations are fun, light and definitely a treasure to all who own them. They are special enough to give alone, but small enough to be a piece to center the entire gift around. After all, why not add a fun scarf to match the earrings?
How fun are those earrings? The top is a colorful chandelier drop and the bottom has an eclectic shape with a pretty pattern and colors within. So perfect paired with your favorite jeans and a crisp white shirt but also beautiful with your favorite sundress.
Happy Thursday!

Love Your Mother!
Good afternoon! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday! The week is almost over!
Spring is such a happy time...the flowers, the weather, the colors, the bustling festivities. When I think of Spring, I definitely think of my mom and how appreciative I am of her, even if I don't get to see her everyday like I used to. So when Spring rolls around I get very invested in Mother's Day. Plus, I'm sure those of you how have children and are on the receiving end of a thoughtful gift truly reinforces everything there is to love about the holiday. The honest, simple love and appreciation of someone who has been there for you, no matter what... Well okay, except for that one time you got in trouble, because you know, it only happened once...
Mother's Day is quickly approaching and over the weekdays I'll be here, daily, giving you fun ideas for gifts for your mom! Today, I'll start small, because sometimes it's the thought that counts, sometimes the wallet is sad and sometimes you just need a little something extra to add to a bigger present to fill it out and add some sparkle.
Have you heard of Emi Jays before? The adorable hair ties are magical. I mean it, mag-i-cal. The brand, created by two young girls in L.A named Emi and Jay, created the hair ties because they love fashion and accessories and ended up creating the perfect hair tie. Traditional ties can hurt your hair, leave ugly creases or make you look like you're balding.. No, just me? But Emi Jay never snags, pulls or creases your hair. That paired with the endless color variety and the fact that a portion of the proceeds go to charity makes them the perfect addition to any gift. Plus, they look cute on your arm when you're letting your hair down.
At our store you can purchase them individually for $2.00 or in packs of 8 for $20.00. We also have big Emi Jay headbands for $5.00 and little hair ties with crystal embellishment for $12.00. So precious!
Another cute addition to any Mother's Day gift are darling beaded bracelets that have been hand crafted by artists in Nepal using little glass beads. Worn individually they are a delicate addition to any outfit and worn in multiples they are a fun way to make a statement with flare. They aren't heavy and won't weigh you down, which in this Texas heat, is always a plus.
The bracelets are $11.00 each, so you can get one for every outfit your mother would love!
Also happening at Adelante just in time for Mother's Day is the Farrah B trunk show happening May 11th and 12th from 10 a.m. to 5:30 each day! Farrah Brother's, the designer behind the brand creates individual pieces of art by "giving life to antique and vintage finds." The jewelry is made in America and Farrah makes unique pieces that each radiate an undeniable passion. The designer truly loves what she does and we are so excited to have her in store!
See you tomorrow!
