Mother’s Day Giveaway: Kayce Hughes

May 1, 2011 By Stephanie 122 Comments

Kayce Hughes is a mom of 7. She is also a fashion designer, creative, and Nashvillian. Plus, she shares my affection for good scones!

I am in awe of Kayce’s pretty, feminine, and sophisticated women’s clothing collection. [Click on each dress for details & pricing].

If I had the means, I think I would shop for clothes exclusively through private designers, wouldn’t you?

I like the idea of supporting artists – especially artists that happen to be moms!

P.S. There are Kayce Hughes gift cards available if you are unsure of someone’s size.

Who is your favorite independent clothing designer?

If I could request just one material gift on Mother’s Day, it would probably be pictures.

I love the eternal nature of photography. As the shutter opens and closes, the memory is forever suspended in time.

Here’s a winning 2-step Mother’s Day gift formula:

1. Plan a formal photo shoot for a mom in your life – with unique props and a colorful background. Or catch her in candid moments as she goes about her day. Or take pictures of her kids as a surprise.

2. Next, create a stunning coffee table book at Shutterfly. For under $20 (plus, your time), you’ll have an outstanding gift that she’ll treasure forever.

Shutterfly Photo Books start at $12.99

WIN IT! One winner will receive a photobook and 100 Mother’s Day Cards (or any kind of card) from Shutterfly!

All of these items are sure to last for multiple seasons – regardless of the new trends.

I really like the length of those shorts too, don’t you? Not too short. Not too long.
