Get Ionian boots. Sona benefits greatly from the CDR and Ionian boots are the go-to-boots-of-choice for 95% of the situations, unless the enemy team is REALLY heavy on hard CC in which case you might have to sacrifice Ionian for Mercs, or get a second philostone to turn it into Eleisa's Miracle.

You should always get one philostone and turn it later into Shurelya's. 15% CDR from Shurelya, 15% CDR from boots and 9% from masteries is enough to cap you out at 40% CDR. I mostly suggest you get philostone + HoG. You'll rarely need to sell the HoG and it gives you much needed HP and more gold per 5.

Also, philostone and later on Shurelya is enough to cover your mana costs, if you have the proper runes and masteries.
