The Mothers of the WearHouse District

"A Mother is one whose special love inspires you day by day."

My mom is an incredible person. She's not just a strong, caring woman but she is also a fun, vibrant person. Whether it's at an impromptu party she had planned or out vintage shopping, we always have a blast together, being silly and telling jokes. It's easy to be yourself around her because she is so down-to-earth. She has always encouraged me to follow my heart, and never give up on my dreams. She's such a beautiful person inside and out. She's the most fabulous woman I know! - Dalton



Have you ever met someone that you just liked right away? It might have been my mom! You can't help but notice her kind, loving spirit that glows when you are with her.  She is one of the most hardworking people I have ever met. She says you have to take action to get what you want, which is one of the things I try to always remember.  She is also one of those people that seems to be great at everything that she does! The amount of creativity that woman holds never seizes to astonish me.  I hope that I can be a little more like my mom with each passing day. She is my go-to person when I need inspiration, guidance, or motivation no matter the situation. We are some very lucky kids to have Denise as our mom. - Veronica



Ever since I could remember I would stand in my mothers vanity watching her apply her makeup. I was fascinated at how she precisely lined her lips with her red lipliner and lipstick and it would be perfection...like in the movies. At the age of 9, I knew exactly what mascara, eyeliner, blush and eyeshadow were and how to apply it correctly. My mom has been the one who has taught me what true beauty is and how to appreciate it. She's taught me that no one ever NEEDS makeup they just want it to enhance their natural beauty. Because of this I have a true appreciation for my mom for always keeping me grounded and always having the best advice whenever I needed it. I love you MOM! Happy Mother's Day :) - Michelle


*To all the mothers and inspirational women in the world, The WearHouse District wishes you a happy Mother's Day with tons of love and respect!

Love and Fashion,

The WHDistrict's Mother's Day Gift Ideas 2013

With April coming to a close and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve really been racking my brain about what to get my mom. In the past, I figured I’d use the rhyme “April showers bring May flowers” as some form of logic to purchase a bouquet of arranged flowers. But this year, I want to give a gift that won’t shrivel up after a few days. 

With determination in mind I steeped myself a cup of earl gray tea, popped open my Mac and began my search for the best Mother’s Day gifts on the web so you don’t have to.

Take a look at my top picks - your mom won’t be sorry. 

-Vestige Lipstick Holder- $28 Anthropologie

The Vestige Lipstick Holder is probably the most useful and artistic item on the list. This elegant piece turns your lipstick into a piece of art while always keeping them at hand. 

-Aurelia Platter- $68 Anthropologie

If your mom likes to whip up something fun in the kitchen once in a while the Aurelia Platter is definitely for her! The fun colors will spice up the look of her meal no matter what it is.  

-Burberry Check Stamped Round Dial Watch- $495 Nordstrom

If you have the dough then this little beauty shouldn’t be passed up. This Burberry watch from Nordstrom has a timeless look and neutral color that will match anything for any occasion.

-Arianna Large Saffiano Leather Shopper- $298 Nordstrom

Designed by Furla, this beautiful purse is sure to be a head turner with it's bold orange color.

-Woven Floral Statement Necklace- $59.99 Ann Taylor

If your mom is the shy type and conservative with her style, consider getting her this woven necklace by Ann Taylor. She will appreciate the simplicity and love the classic pearl accents. 

-Dianne Zebra Scarf- $59.50 Banana Republic

When it comes to animal prints, Banana Republic is one of the best in the business. This zebra scarf is the perfect accessory for any mom looking to stampede through the day with confidence. 

-Magpie Earring- $39.50 Banana Republic

Oh la la! Could this shade of blue be any more electrifying? I definitely recommend the Magpie Earring from Banana Republic - especially if your mom is a brunette ;)

-Fresh Favorites Sugar Lip Trip- $45 Sephora

This is what I like to call a luxury lip balm. It conditions, cools and softens your lips while enhancing your natural lip color. If your mom cherishes the simple pleasures, she will love the Sugar Lip Trip from Sephora.

-Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo- $25 Sephora

Last on my list is Sephora’s roll on perfume. There are many different fragrances to choose from, but I picked Jimmy Choo because it’s one of my favorite scents. It’s something every working mother should have because she can carry it in her purse and freshen up whenever she needs.

Voila! I hope you find my picks for Mother’s Day helpful in your search. Till next time my fellow readers!

Party Like Jay

In honor of the upcoming release of the movie adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, it’s high time you gather your group of friends for a night of decadence and glamour. Party like the man of the hour himself, Mr. Jay Gatsby.

by Fernando Snellings

• Dress appropriately. While wearing a tux might seem overboard, shake up your usual party attire, trading your usual neutral colored blazer for something in a pop of color, or trade in your bomber jacket for a cool, printed version. A little added flair never hurts, and you’ll be the star of the party. If you’re a girl, trade your body-con dress for something more unexpected, like a drop waist mini dress to get into a mood like Daisy. Wear the dress with a cute pair of oxfords like you borrowed them from the boys and go on your way.

• Get some moody music! Every party needs some moody music, so make your playlist range from slow, soulful ballads a la Lana del Rey, to fun, upbeat music from Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris. Diversify your playlist to match your guest list, but think of your music as an accessory to the conversations you’ll have-fun, but not over powering. 

• Food! Lean away from chips and dip, and make finger food—pigs in a blanket, tortilla pizzas, chili cheese dip, mint marshmallow cookies are great fun foodies to snack on, and will give you good conversation starters! It’s better than relying on basics, and more filling than typical snacks. 

• Make a drink of the evening. Whether it’s mixing black cherry soda and vodka, or making a fresh smoothie, create something totally unique that’s tasty, memorable, and fun. 

However you decide to party, make sure the people remember you! 

Product Review: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

Recently, I’ve been in a hurry to get ready in the morning. It could quite possibly be due to my late nights of studying and catching up on homework. Regardless, I have found a new amazing makeup product that I have been using for a natural look that I have loved.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil

608 Cottage Cheese 

 I apply it under my eyebrows, tear duct, down the center of my nose, and cupids bow. I blend the line, add eyeliner to my water line, and mascara along with foundation and a light blush. It gives you the perfect natural look for daytime plus a solid foundation incase you need to create a day-to-night look in a hurry!

CIAO,

Michelle
