i’m so excited to share today’s fun post with you! it seems perfectly appropriate since i’m still at home visiting my family and because mother’s day is right around the corner.
the giveaway features the darling book, my mom, the style icon, by piper weiss – and you can have a chance at winning your very own signed copy by leaving a comment on this post!
i devoured the whole book in just one sitting, and especially loved seeing all of the fabulous vintage on the stylish mamas!
it was a lot of fun looking at all of the fun categories and styles that piper features, and even more fun hunting through old photographs so that i could show you a peek at a few of the stylish women in my family (of which there are many!)

Your mom’s beautiful! She looks like a movie star. :) That third photo with both of them looking so sharp reminds me of my husband’s parents photo when they were in California. I do think you look like your mom. :) Beautiful!

Oh my gosh Jess I LOVE those pictures!!! So amazing to look at. What beautiful women in your family, especially your mama!!!!! Marth the model!! You got some good genes :)
What amazing photos and sense of style through the decades! I especially love your Nana’s outfits – and the shoes, oh the shoes! Perhaps it is time to write a family with style book of your own.
What great pictures! All the women in your family are gorgeous and have terrific style.
I would LOVE to win this… I think my mom has killer style, so I’d love to look through at other photos. This is the ultimate coffee table book!

Those pictures are so great. I love seeing pictures of my mother and grandmothers in their youth. I actually have framed photos of my grandmothers as young women on my walls.

My-mom-the-style-icon is the only page I like of the new Lucky Mag. I would love to see the book it is based on. Before I read who the lady in the saddle shoes was, I thought she looked just like you. And you look like your Mom, especially in profile. Other than those gorgeous blue eyes, you also inherited those great arms and shoulders from your mom. Thanks for sharing!

Love these pictures and can completely relate. Alzheimer’s ended up robbing my mother of her style…but she never lost her sweet smile. I have very fond memories of the care she always gave to her style – both personally and in her decorating. Happy, happy memories…so glad you are embracing your mother’s sense of ‘presentation’!
i love this stuff! great photos. i wrote about how my nana is my style icon on my blog a few weeks ago ;)
you’ve got some fab style icons in your family :) Love this post!
Your Nana’s midi skirt & fabulous poster. Meema’s shirt dress & off the shoulder maxi dress. Your mother is gorgeous & I love the profile picture, spitting image of YOU! You have inspired me to rummage through my mom’s pictures- LOVE! Hope I can get my hands on that book!
awesome pictures! there are some seriously stylin’ ladies accumulated here.
