The leather moto jacket is exactly what your mother’s inner child is begging to wear. She’s in an everyday sea of sweatpants and groutfits (all grey color prisoner like looks) but what she wants is to bust out of her routine and rock a leather. The moto jacket is a slim fitting and oh so versatile key piece. Out of Milan’s RTW fall 2016 fashion week, Tod’s red leather moto with fox collar was the all-time favorite. Combining the perfect mix of materials and color, it was a scene stealer in every way. Show your mom you believe in her and her confidence to channel her long-lost, bad ass self.

We can’t overstate the importance of a fur vest. It is modern, versatile, seasonless, and figure friendly. Moms don’t have or don’t devote enough time to themselves. Their fashion choices take a back seat to the everyday basic routine. A vest is the easiest, quickest piece to enhance a wardrobe. It mixes and matches with everything so it takes little to no thought to throw on and complete a look. In Laurel’s fall RTW, they showed the absolute perfect piece. A black leather vest with charcoal grey mink lining and shawl collar. What was especially exciting was a detachable hem so you could wear the vest hip length or cropped. We love a two-fer! Pure genius!

Little fur accessories add a lot of star power. An effortless way to incorporate glam into errands, drop offs/pick ups, and play dates, fox cuffs and handbags were all the rage in the Mim Wade fall 2016 collection. Fur accessories are conversation starters that will be the talk of the locker room long after exercise.  Sophia Webster’s mink hand bag was a special touch. A bit old-fashioned but an on trend boho chic vibe that can work from day to evening.

A great array of one-size-fits-all fur options exits to make a gifter’s life easier.

Or, if your pockets have deeper limits, whip out a sable scarf as the ultimate indulgence.
