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

The Must Have Shoe For The Summer

According to Vogue, this is the MUST HAVE shoe of summer.  It basically is a flat sandal with a wide leather band.  Some looks are more dressy than others.  I can see these with a sundress or shorts or with a shorter length jean, white or blue.   Which would you choose?

Wuji

A new Chinese restaurant opened in Rye a few months ago. Wuji is a farm to wok experience with organic food and no MSG whatsoever!!!  I went with a couple of girlfriends and we tried a tasting of the amazing menu.  The spareribs were a huge it and the Lobster Fried Rice was a definitely must have.  Actually, everything on the menu was superb not to mention the cool decor.  And, I have to keep it a secret but they do bring each table a yummy surprise after each meal!!  They are in the process of building their flagship restaurant in Greenwich, which will open later this year.  I promise to keep you posted.  To learn more about Wuji and their other locations, click HERE.
