My Mom, Style Icon Giveaway!

Posted: 04.26.11

You may see this cute book popping up around the internet. It is on a little blog tour this week. I was honored when I was asked if I would partake. My Mom, Style Icon by Piper Weiss is beyond adorable. The moment I sat down to look thru it, I was glued to the couch for like an hour. In the book Piper has a collection of photos of stylish moms, with stories and sections like “Hair Story,” “Going to the Chapel,” and “Mom’s Gone Wild.” This Book really is a little treasure and perfect for your own book collection or perfect for a Mother’s Day Gift.

In the spirit of Reflection today, I wanted to share some pictures of my own Mom. I love her to death. I always enjoy looking back at pictures of her when she was my age.

To enter the giveaway all you need to do is leave a comment below. Simple, Simple. Giveaway will go from now until this weekend. Winner will be randomly chosen and notified by email.

Be sure to check out Piper’s Blog and watch the Trailer for this book!
Now Go Enter (and maybe call your mom and tell her how much you love her!)

    i’m lucky enough to say that i’m living with my mom (again) right now and to see her through my older, wiser-ish, more adult-ly eyes, makes me enjoy ever little nuance that makes her … her … tees and matching cardis and all … even more :)

  47. Jannira

    04.26.11

    Its funny because my mom and I have different styles, but everything I wear she says “I used to wear that when I was your age.” So really we have the same style, just a few decades apart. :)

  48. Karen

    04.26.11

    isn’t amazing to look back at photos you don’t even recognize the women you know now. I find it amazing my mother every wore make-up since i have never seen her wear a stitch since I have been around. yet , at one time she was that person in photo wearing make-up … she is amazing make-up or not or bad eighties perm or not.

    04.27.11

    Sometimes i get jealous of people who think of great ideas like this!!! My mom and I have often argued (in fun) about why she didnt think to save all her totally cool clothes from the 50s and 60s! She had some freaky awesome stuff!!! Thanks for brining my attention to this book. I’ll be ordering it even if I dont win it. Love it!

    I want to share this great book with my mom. We only just started getting along and bonding over the last two years, and now all of those ‘Your mom is your best friend’ cliches are coming true.
    We have a photo taken shortly after I was born, with me in a powder pink romper, and Mom rocking some insane early 90s hair and an acid wash denim jacket. We were quite the pair.

  83. This is adorable — I love seeing this feature in Lucky Magazine. Fingers crossed! :)

  84. Poppy

    04.27.11
