Mother’s Day is fast approaching! This means it’s time to gather up some Mother’s Day gift ideas for Mother’s Day 2019. It can be hard to shop for Mom, after all, she gave you life and you want the gift to be perfect. That being said, Mom knows you love her, and you can always show your love on Mother’s Day by helping her at home, cooking a meal, giving her a giant hug, and/or making her a homemade card with love.

Of course, with this gift of love, it’s always nice to show you have been thinking about her. Why not give her something fabulous, and fashionable? I rounded up a few fabulous Mother’s Day gift ideas, at various price points, that I know Mom will love. I hope you love them too, and are able to find the perfect gift for Mom!

Can I give this camera a shout-out? I was tired of lugging my heavy DSLR around to the shows at fashion week, so I picked up this small yet mighty camera to lighten my load. It was fabulous! It goes from manual to automatic mode, and has all the bells and whistles of a DSLR; without the weight. The only thing that sets it apart from a DSLR is that you cannot change the lens, or the flash. It does have a built-in lens which zooms and in and out, but you are limited to it’s range. This is a great gift for the Mom who blogs, travels, or likes to snap pictures everywhere she goes. It’s worth the price! All of my fashion week photos were taken with it, you can see examples here. Love!

Handbag designers under $1000 from top left: Boyy tote bag / Wandler white handbag / Pop and Suki take out box handbag / Staud PVC tote (hot IT bag!) (see my review here) / By Far train case handbag /

In a world full of really expensive handbags, it’s nice to know there are IT bags priced well under $1000. In addition to handbags having an IT factor, there is an uprising of ultra-cool handbag designers which are carried by fashion insiders, and bear absolutely no logo’s what-so-ever. Hear that? I’ll say it again, no logos.

The ultra-cool thing to do at the moment, is to carry a handbag which bears no logo, and offers an unique silhouette. 2019 is all about fabulous handbags which are eye-catching, and bear the name of a designer only those in-the-know will actually be able to identify. This is not the year to flaunt your handbag designer’s name, this is the year to make people wonder who you are carrying, and make people covet your bag. Oh-but wait! There’s more!

These incognito IT bags bear one more interesting fact; they are priced under $1000. Say whaaa-aaat??

That’s right! You can carry an ultra-cool handbag, coveted by fashion industry insiders, for under $1000. This means we can all be cool on a budget. Of course, if your budget is $3000, then you can carry three bags instead of one. Loving this!

Handbag designers with bags priced under $1000 were all over the streets of New York at fashion week. Fashion buyers, journalists, and more were carrying these highly covetable bags, and those not-in-the-know, were left scratching their heads.

So, without further ado, here are five designer handbag brands to covet, watch, and buy, in 2019; and you won’t have to break the bank doing it. Love!

Boyy

This cool-girl handbag brand has been around for many seasons, but starting last year, it started to gain traction. While a few of their styles barely hover above $1000, and under $1100, the majority of their handbag styles are under $1000. Boyy bags are highly desired by big name fashion journalists who work for iconic fashion publications, as well as quiet yet important fashion industry insiders. This is the bag to own now. Pick your favorite style, and be fabulous.
