mother's day 2011

oh, mother's day.  my mom is not a fan of flowers nor candy.  you can call her high maintenance, and she will readily agree with you.

this year, she said she wanted chanel earrings for mother's day,  and i almost spit out my iced tea. chanel is not one of those stores that you pick up on impulse.  most times, purchases are carefully thought out and balances are meticulously sorted before one leaves with a envious stare inducing black carrier bag.  in layman's terms, chanel is pricey!

so with trepidation, i call neiman marcus in beverly hills to see about some earrings.  fashion earrings cost around $240-400 dollars, and the signature line usually has crystal encrusted CC's either by itself or accompanying pearls and onyx drops.

i stopped in with my mom on my lunch break today, and we picked out these:

this pair costs $325, and i love how it swings when she walks.  she was concerned about the black blending in with her dark hair, but who is going to look at the black when you have the sparkly c's?!

Happy Mother's Day! I we love you, mom :) (thank you brother for contributing to the cause!)
