Frances Valentine for Mother’s Day

Last week, I went to visit the Frances Valentine showroom.  Frances Valentine is the new shoe and handbag line designed by Kate Spade HERSELF, and it is amazing.  The spring/summer line is highlighted below.  I love everything!!!!  All the items are so well suited for all your spring and summer outfits.  How about picking up a pair of floral espadrilles or metallic jeweled heels for mom.  YES, PLEASE!!!!  To see the entire Frances Valentine collection, click HERE.

Book Club Monday

With Mother’s Day less than a week away, I thought I would focus this week’s posts on making mom’s day great!!  Let’s start with our Book Club Monday post.  I recently started reading Confessions of  a Prep School Mommy Handler by Wade Rouse.  I recently met Wade and loved talking to him.  He told me about this book and I knew my readers would LOVE it…the story goes like this:

At an elite prep school, the devil wears Lilly Pulitzer pink.
When Wade Rouse, who grew up more Hee-Haw than Dynasty, was hired as the director of publicity at the prestigious Tate Academy, he quickly discovered his real job: to make the very pretty, very rich, very mean mommies of the elite students very happy.

Enter Wade’s VIP volunteer and perfectly coiffed nightmare, former beauty queen and sports star Katherine Isabelle Ludington—Kitsy to her friends. In between designing Louis Vuitton–inspired reunion invitations, dressing as Ronald Reagan for Halloween, and surviving surprise Botox parties, Wade tries to tame Kitsy and her pink Lilly Pulitzer–clad posse while retaining a shred of self-esteem.

Following a year in the life of the super rich and super spoiled, Confessions of a Prep School Mommy Handler is hilarious, heartbreaking, and deliciously catty. Summary Amazon
