Gucci Gucci Coo by Sue Margolis became one of my favorite books before I even finished the first chapter. Ruby Silverman runs a posh baby boutique for London mothers that have money to spare, and even celebrities can’t resist the adorable and high end items from Les Sprogs. But what happens after Ruby inadvertently sees one of the biggest stars sporting a prosthetic baby bump? Could there be something shady behind why all celebrities that give birth at St. Lukes “the Bentley of birth centers” come out skinny as a rail after having their baby? And if there is, could Ruby’s new love interest, the handsome American doctor, be involved?
Right from the beginning, Margolis brings the humor, the compassion, and the mystery with the supporting characters and their problems. Her mother has just found out she is expecting her second child- at age 50. Her co-worker is desperately trying to get pregnant, but having no luck with IVF treatments. And now, a possible scandal involving the biggest hospital and even bigger celebrity names. Can Ruby put together all the missing pieces before it’s too late- and before she loses the love of her life? Read all about it Gucci Gucci Coo.

What’s the hottest way to perk up your hairstyle without any hassle? A headband! Fashion headbands are making a comeback, especially those adorned with bling like the one seen on Hilary Duff. I love headbands to give my look an all together more polished feel, and it is so easy. I like to do a small pouf in the front, then tie my hair back in a ponytail. Slip a headband on to top it off. Headbands are great because they can work so many different ways and with all different types of hair textures.
Usmagazine highlights the headbands by True Birds, which can be bought online for only $32!
