Lesson Learned


It's no secret that men LOVE heels. Most men I've met love a sexy kitten heel. So when I was complimented for my YSL architectural ankle bootie, I was nothing short of stunned!


Cut to drinks down in Tribeca at a low key pub; a work function for my sister and her co-workers. Since I always have to get outfit approval from my sister before attending a work event with her, this was the last place I would expect to be complimented. Can Type A financiers appreciate a bit of edge? Apparently so! "I love your shoes," one said. "Really, thank you" I replied. "I like how you can see down into them and they stop at the perfect spot on your calf...good height too." What detail, I thought! I was completely impressed!


Lesson learned. Never judge your audience. Just wear what you love.

Confident? No, Complicated!


"you wear a lot of jewelry," he says grabbing my wrist.
"yeah.." I answer with a laugh
"so what's all this?" he continues
"just for fun but this one made my best friend made me; i always wear it"
"you're a complicated woman" he assesses
"i'm a confident woman?" I ask
"well I said complicated but yes confident as well" he says in an effort to recover

You have no idea, I think to myself as I laugh and walk away.

To Be Straight or Curly?


The Millionaire Matchmaker is coming back and I couldn't be more excited! One of the Patty's tricks is straight sleek sexy hair. She claims she has no issue with curly hair so long as it does not appear damaged. And that the request for straight hair comes directly from the men. So what's it gonna be?
