What better way is there to thank mom for your good looks than treating her to some new ones of her own?

And besides, chatting over breakfast with Julie Chaiken, goddess of black pants, before heading to her private studio for a one-on-one style session peppered with the San Francisco designer’s tips and takes on current trends isn’t a shabby way for a fashion supplicant to spend a Saturday.

Tack on an overnight stay at the luxe St. Regis San Francisco, a cocktail reception with the designer the evening before and the opportunity to shop current Chaiken offerings at a discount and order custom garments from the designer herself, and you’ve got one lavish little last-minute gift idea for a smashing Mother’s Day weekend.

To get in on the action, you’ll need to book the Shopping with Julie Chaiken package through the St. Regis San Francisco by May 1. Limited to 20 attendees, the program is $500 per person with Friday night accommodations at the hotel and $200 per person for Saturday’s shopping event only.
