Mother's Day is a weird holiday for jewelry. All of the available accessories can be a bit on the lame side. But in recent years, that has been changing with new companies and Etsy shops that make handmade jewelry that is personalized, lovely, and meaningful.

On my first Mother's Day, my husband had a locket made with a photo of himself and of our daughter together. It was one of the most meaningful gifts I ever received. And while I am no fan of "push presents," I am a fan of Mother's Day gifts if they mean something.

So here are a few cool ways moms can honor their children and get pretty jewelry, to boot! See below:

Heather Morris is one of my top two faves on Glee. Mostly because, heck, girl can REALLY shake it. Hell, did you see her in the Britney episode? Amazeballs. However, as much as I adore her and her unreal body roll abilities -- I'm a little confused by her sense of style. The 25-year-old Cheerio stepped out on the red carpet last night in North Hollywood wearing an interesting ensemble, to say the least.

I don't know where to start. Between the black ankle socks with the heeled wooden lace-up wedges and the corset-ish top over the pink ruffed tank ... it's all just so obscure and hippie-chic. But I mean, we can't be too hard on her. Hell, by the looks of things, she had a whole lotta fun wearing the wacky ensemble. Now that I think of it, I feel like Heather's been rockin' a whole slew of out-of-the box looks lately.

Sigh. Really, who CAN'T say they've had a weird fashion phase? Hell, I know I have.

With several 20s-inspired films on the horizon (The Great Gatsby and an as-yet-untitled film starring Marion Cotillard, pictured at left), Art Deco-inspired fashion is back with a vengeance ...

and celebrities ranging from Charlize Theron to Amanda Seyfried already are getting a jumpstart on the look. 

The good news?

So can you!

Kate Middleton has got to be one excited Duchess coming into this weekend. Hello! Sunday is her one-year anniversary to hubba hubby Prince William! Does it not feel like JUST yesterday we were all sipping tea at an ungodly hour watching the duo get married? Remember the first glimpse of the dress?! I swoon.

The Duchess geared up for the big anniversary weekend with a walk down the red carpet at the premiere of African Cats Wednesday night with her hubby. Of course, she looked GORGE as usual, flawless in a neutral-colored, quarter-sleeve dress. I wasn't a HUGE fan of the peplum, but it was hardly noticable next to the amazing embellishment at the neck and sleeves.

Get this: The dress didn't come with that embellishment around the neck. Nope, when you see it in the British designer Matthew Williamson's collection -- the neck is left plain. A woman that adds pizazz to her own clothes? A woman after my own heart!

You know why I like Barack Obama? Well aside from the fact that he probably has one of the best smiles EVER, he's got a good personality. The man gets yogurt spilled on him by a University of Colorado sorority girl yesterday morning, and he laughs it off. Then later in the day, I watch the Prez on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and he makes possibly the best confession ever.

No no no, it's nothing sexually charged a la Weinergate. It's better. After Fallon pulled out a fro-tastic picture of the President from his college days (seen above), Barack confessed that the jacket he was wearing was most likely from Goodwill.

HE THRIFTS?! A man with a downright dirty past after my own heart!

Forever 21 is selling a new line for a great cause and not only is it inexpensive, but it's adorable. F21 joined forces with The Samburu Project, which is a non-profit that works to end the water crisis. A crisis we in America don't have to deal with but 4,500 children in the world reportedly die each day due to the lack of clean, safe drinking water. The issue is huge in Samburu, Kenya, and Forever 21 is donating 10 percent of sales from this special line called Give to Love. Love to Give so they can drill wells to bring clean water to those in need. 

The line is really cute -- I want this Beaded Braid Necklace ($7.80) -- it would really brighten up any black top, and I have many of them. And there's more ....

It was like the shot heard round the world, except that instead of a bullet, there were initial earrings, and instead of an Archduke, it was Hollywood royalty. I'm talking about Kim Kardashian's studs, of course. The reality star wore "KW" earrings recently to signify her love of Kanye West, er something, and everyone's talking about it. I agree with you, it's sort of bizarrely cagey to wear something like that when you just scammed America into thinking you loved KH, but we'll let that anger go for a quick second and focus, instead, on the earrings in and of themselves.

If you ignore their "significance", they're super cute. I love monogram or initial jewelry, and like everyone else, I went out and bought myself a "Lindsay" necklace after Carrie wore hers on Sex and the City. Best part? It's still wearable 10 years later. Moniker baubles are always in style, so let's take a look at the 10 best pieces out there, shall we?

Twilight actress Dakota Fanning has really turned into quite a beautiful young lady, hasn't she? Sometimes actors who start their careers as adorable child stars don't always transition well into their adult look, but Dakota has remained a gorgeous, very natural beauty.

For a Vanity Fair party at the Tribeca Film Festival, she wore an eye-popping pink Lanvin dress that showed off her slim figure and youthful, fresh skin. And her blonde hair looked pretty and unassuming falling over her shoulders -- but then there was that weird halo looking thing on her head that really threw off the entire look. Can someone please tell me what exactly was going on there?
