Jill Zarin Signs Her New Book, But Takes Time To Shop In Miami

Miami.com:

Jill Zarin isn't shy about telling it like it is. So it's fitting the fiery cast member from the Real Housewives of New York City wrote a book packed with advice.

The Long Island, N.Y., native was in Coral Gables and Boca Raton over the weekend doing signings of Secrets of a Jewish Mother. Cowritten with her sister and mother, the self-helper doles out tips on dating, parenting and marriage (Classic: "Who said your husband has to know everything?")

Zarin is loving the Sunshine State, hanging out with BFF Carole Rome, wife of governor/senatorial candidate Charlie Crist, and shopping to her heart's content.

"Mayor Bloomberg won't be thrilled with me; I'm helping the Florida economy," said Zarin from the Theory store at Town Center in Boca. "I'm here getting my basics -- my black, my white, my gray. I'll drop a few grand, but I'll be done."

Zarin, 46, likely won't have too many wardrobe issues in the near future -- Season 4 of the hit Bravo show is in limbo, while frenemy Bethenny Frankel got her own spinoff, Bethenny Getting Married?

The two don't speak, but it sounds like they may eventually.

"Sadly, I haven't seen her baby yet but hopefully when the media goes way we'll be able to talk."

Ummm, besides when she's sleeping or doing book signings, when isn't Jill shopping?
