Wanderlust Wednesdays: 49 Mother’s Day Gifts Under $49.00
We know our moms deserve a pile of Louboutins, Vuitton bags, and Tiffany diamonds wrapped in an extra-large Hermès scarf—but sadly, that’s not in our Mother’s Day gift budget this year (or any year, for that matter). However, we at Eleanor’s are nothing if not creative, so we came up with 49 fabulous Mother’s Day gifts that cost less than $49.
Spring Patterns: Mix It Up On A Bike
If you can’t pick your favorite spring pattern, why choose? We’re taking inspiration from this multi-printed cyclist, whose spots and stripes are perfect for spring layers.

Our Girl Monday: Kerri Russel

We like the way Kerri Russel thinks: loving her bike bags and fresh flowers (from the farmers’ market, perhaps?). We also love the way she looks: decked out in khaki and white, a feminine look that recalls a military aesthetic that perfectly offsets her feminine skirt and sandals. We actually think this Bobbin Bicycles Pannier would be a great addition to this look, right?
Spotlight: A Little Black Basket For Your Bike
It’s no secret that we’re crazy for Peterboro Basket Co.’s vintage-y woven bicycle baskets: the nostalgia they evoke is perfect for adding a bit of charm to any bicycle.
Why we love at Eleanor’s? Because even your bike needs a little black dress.
But today we’re really digging these sleek new black-stained baskets.

Wanderlust Wednesday: 5 Bike-Friendly Frocks to Frolic in this Spring
One of the best feelings in the world has got to be the first time in spring you can slip on a dress and head out the door without stockings to ride your bicycle. Baring a little bit of leg as the weather gets warmer gives you a chance to get back in touch with the flirty, feminine gems that’ve been hiding in your closet all winter, or perhaps pick up a few new summer wardrobe staples.
So what are we at Eleanor’s Stylish Bicycle Accessories dying to slip into this season for warm weather riding? Take a gander at our favorite frocks for spring, and don’t forget your bicycle skirt garter!

Retire your boring old tires in favor of some of these puppies, created as part of the Seoul Cycle Design Competition (a collaboration between Designboom and Seoul Design Foundation).

Of course these wheels still have the potential to kick up some dirt. To keep your outfit looking as good as your bike, why not check out one of our skirt guards or mudflaps?
Our Girl Monday: Marilyn Monroe

While we’re on the subject of mid-century beauties on bikes, we’re going to go ahead and give a shout to this iconic blonde. Marilyn’s looking pretty perfect aboard her ride, and we love her casual slouchy sweater paired with some great cropped, matchstick trousers. Try them out for yourself: we really love these Sessùn Polka Dot “Memory House” Trousers from Madewell. We think they’d go especially well with our Skirt Guard by FrillRide, which will give you extra vintage oomph while keeping your digs pristine.

Spotlight: SpokeNWheel Brooch Bicycle Bell
This bling bling goes “ring ring” to keep you safe and stylish. A vintage-inspired gold metal finding adds sophisticated and a luxurious feel to this bicycle bell, while crystals add just the right amount of sparkle. Like magpies, we simply cannot resist shiny things.
