I usually write this feature based on the pieces that I would love for myself. This time, I’m thinking about all the mothers out there, who gave up on their sleep, social life, and some even their careers to take care of us. I hope they didn’t have to give up their fashion sense for our sake, so here are four pieces that are perfect for all the hot mamas out there.
Tell her a story with jewellery
Especially since this is the Arabic Mother’s Day, go for some customised Arabic jewellery. The necklace is made of 18k gold as well as pearls. This piece is the star of the Mother’s Day collection at SZT Bijoux, a home-grown UAE-based brand. They say you can customise each and every piece in their collections to tell your own story, or even just write your mother’s name.

Make her comfortable at home
People spend all their money on shoes to wear out of the house, but there’s nothing quite like feeling cosy and warm at home. When Ugg launched a new collection in the UAE, I was instantly curious to see how these heavy-on-the-wool footwear will be used over here, until I saw and instantly fell in love with these comfy and totally cute house slippers. They are perfect for mum to wear around the house and will keep feet warm during those warmer AC months.

Give her some arm candy
The watch brand Swatch has created a watch especially for Mother’s Day. It’s called the Skinpivoine and it’s slim, trim, easy to read and light as a feather. I am obsessed with the colourful flowers on the silicone strap. This is for the cool and casual mum, who likes a bit of brightness in her life.

Add some colour to her face
This season Gucci’s eyewear collection gives a nod to the 80s (perhaps a time where mum was living her best life?). The Monocolor collection’s shapes, colours and embellishments are super funky and cool. The wide round shape has been designed in a shiny and vibrant fuchsia. It’s lightweight, feminine and exactly what you would picture your mum rocking back in the day.
