Ivanka Trump’s Ten Things For Mother’s Day!

Ivanka Trump

1. Favorite Kitchen Item: I’m obsessed with Kate Spade’s pack-a-picnic basket. I love the retro vibe that makes it cute and practical. It’s ideal for picnics in Central Park during summertime.

2. Favorite Piece of Jewelry to Receive/Give on Mother’s Day: Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry seed and pearl diamond tassel necklace. This piece is timeless. Available at select Neiman Marcus stores.

3. Favorite Museum: The Guggenheim is at the top of my list. I try to visit regularly and I’m really looking forward to the opening of the Frank Lloyd Wright tribute exhibit opening in July.

4. Favorite Flowers From: My husband. I’m partial to classic roses. They are sophisticated, beautiful and appropriate for all seasons.

5. Favorite Practical Mother’s Day Gift: A framed picture of my kids and loved ones is always special. Michael Aram has a beautiful selection of frames.

6. Favorite Thing to Wake Up to on Mother’s Day: Arabella’s kisses and anything homemade. Finger-painting has become my favorite artistic medium!

7. Favorite Spa Treatment: The Balancing Massage and the Turkish Hammam at Trump SoHo are fantastic. What mom wouldn’t love to be pampered on her special day?

8. Favorite Place for Mother’s Day Brunch: ABC Kitchen is a terrific spot for brunch. Great atmosphere and the food is delicious. This year, I prefer to stay home for brunch. I enjoy cooking and it’s nice to unwind at home with my family as often as I can. Arabella is old enough to help me with little tasks like stirring, which is adorable.

9. Favorite Beauty Product: Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Makeup is lightweight and perfect for an evening out. Every mom needs a night out now and then!

10. There is nothing quite like leaving the city for a peaceful afternoon at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. The equestrian trails are the perfect place for a quiet stroll with my family.

Out of Office: Charleston


NM media manager Mackay Boynton escaped to the seaside city of Charleston, South Carolina for a long weekend. He shares his personal photos and must-dos. 

To See: Charleston is such a great walking city. No car needed. You can tour many of the historic houses. Walking down King Street (my favorite) you will find antique shops, art galleries and restaurants. A quick day trip to Kiawah Island to see the ocean is also a must.

To Stay: Market Pavilion Hotel. The bar on the roof has an amazing view of the city and the water.

To Eat: Shrimp and grits at Magnolias!

To Pack: Jeans and knits were perfect for daytime. At night, when it was much cooler, I’d add a sweater or a light jacket.

Etro grosgrain-trim blazer in navy, pink cotton pants, and shirt with sea life motif.

Burberry Brit’s quilted field jacket and faded dark denim.

Don’t leave Charleston without… Trying the local food, referred to as Low Country food. The She Crab soup is a Charleston favorite.

Seeing Things: Paolo Soleri

Architect Paolo Soleri, described by The New York Times as “the architect of counterculture,” passed away yesterday at age 93. An apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, Soleri is known best for Arcosanti, an experimental eco-minded settlement in Arizona that is still funded by the sale of Soleri’s signature windbells, which are popular souvenirs and home accents across Arizona. Soleri created the huge Bronze Verde Bell that hangs in the atrium of Neiman Marcus Scottsdale for the store’s opening in 1991. And like almost every work in the NM art collection, it reflects the store’s commitment to its regional culture.
