Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We’ll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
This year, Mother’s Day is all about gifts that blend everyday ease with on-trend style. For the mother figure who likes to stay on top of trends, I’ve rounded up my favorites from brands like Jenni Kayne, J.Crew, and Shopbop. For the beauty guru (or beauty curious), I’ve selected a mix of editor-favorite tools and drugstore favorites under $10. Lastly, for mamas on the move, there’s just-dropped activewear and new-mom essentials like a Cybex stroller. Whether you’re curating a thoughtful bundle or opting for a standout piece, here are a few favorites you can shop ahead of the holiday.
