OK, be honest. How many of you are still scrambling to find your Mom the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Have I got a great suggestion for you:聽My Mom, The Style Icon.
What started out as a successful blog is now a lovely book with photos of style-savvy Moms spanning decades. It not only goes to show that our Moms were once (and possible still are) fashion-forward, wearing everything from daring miniskirts to barely there bikinis, and sporting the latest and greatest hair, makeup, and accessory trends. But also, it reinforces the idea that these were the ladies who were and are our true fashion heroes.
Red Carpet Roxy's Mom, Fran Khan, on an excursion to Greece in the 1970's

Hi- I am Fran’s cousin. Ask her about Kelly and Judy. My mom and I were talking yesterday and Fran’s name came up..she said she’d really like to hear from her so I said I’d do a websearch. How easy it was! Are you really her daughter? Please tell her hi and if she can, write! Judy and I and my mom would love to catch up.
