The Gap T-Shirts for Met Museum Costume Institute

By now you've most likely seen images from the annual Met Ball gala on Monday. It's a huge deal and one we fashionistas look forward to each year.

This year's lead sponsor was the Gap. Designers like Rodarte made dresses with the Gap for celebs like Jessica Alba to wear.

For those of us non gala go-ers , the Gap has a line of very cool T shirts made to commorate the exhibit called American Woman. These are not your simple logo tees. They have major style. I have my eye on the Screen Siren one( shown) and maybe the Heiress. ( Also shown is the Flapper). Notice too, that online most Gap tops incl. these go to size XXL( 20) making them accessible to many sizes .

This collection is available only online and at a few select CA, NY and Chicago locations.

Kiehl's Mother's Day Sets

Just in time for Mother's Day gifting, Kiehl's has put together several special sets with mom in mind. Featured here are two, the rest can be viewed in Kiehl's stores or online .

I particularly like the lavender set for moms. My dear friend The Movie Mommy notices I often gift her with lavender everything. She's a mom of two youngsters, works full time and has the hubby, the house, etc. I think she needs it. Every mom needs a little stress reduction. Pampering is good too and both these sets deliver on that.
