Teresa Giudice's return is now official.

For the first time since being released from federal prison just before Christmas, the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star marked her official post-prison debut by attending sister-in-law Melissa Gorga's boutique opening in Montclair Thursday night.

"I'm doing really good," a beaming Giudice told Us Weekly. "I feel great."

The soon-to-be again published author also looked the part, posing with eldest daughter Gia while draped in a black fur, snakeskin top and form-fitting trousers.

"Family is the most important thing to me and coming here to support her and my family is amazing," she said. She added that since serving out her 11-month sentence at the Danbury Correctional facility on fraud related charges, her favorite things to do with her teenage daughter are "shop and eat."

Giudice's new memoir is slighted to highlight her prison experience and delve into how she survived being away from husband Joe and her four young daughters for nearly a year. She previously authored a cooking book.

Giudice has also already signed on to rejoin the cast of "Real Housewives," and Bravo network producers are reported to have delayed filming on the new season in the hopes of being able to incorporate her in more of the scenes. According to Radar Online, she will earn a salary of up to $2 million per season.

All Teresa's euphoria may be short lived, however, as Joe is slated to soon commence serving out his 41-month sentence on charges similar to those his wife was convicted of.

In addition, he could also be deported to his native Italy whenever he is released from custody. Several media outlets recently reported Teresa has already taken steps to make sure she is on her husband's visiting list for whenever he is ordered to surrender to authorities.
