A New Direction
I’ve decided to take this tumblr in a new direction. I’ll continue reblogging, but I’m also going to post more of my own words. I will probably write mainly about the positives in my day to day life. I refuse to focus on the negative that happens to me. This isn’t to say I’m going to blithely assume my life is perfect or that I’m going to ignore any bad or...

I have a craving to work out on the elliptical machine, but I’m not a gym member. In fact, this urge often strikes. What to do?

This conference is consuming me. I will be so happy when it’s over. Or just when it starts, even! My anxiety level is spiraling out of control…

Monkey Chow: Good Kid Guilt →
Oh, this is me, too. The other day a printing company that was doing a banner for me just printed an image on a banner without sending me a proof or a quote first. Of course it was wrong when I went to pick it up. Of course I felt incredibly guilty. So guilty that I almost told him that we’d take the incorrect banner along with the new, correct banner…ughhhh.

The (Necessary) Quest for Food with Some Nutrition
I don’t know what happened yesterday but I made bizarrely bad food choices. Not on purpose. I mean, I knew what I was doing and just figured it would be okay, but I subconsciously knew better. If that makes sense. For lunch I had an H&H bagel with cream cheese, then I ate part of a pumpkin muffin, and then I ate a fun size sugary gummy candy. Um, yeah, I was shaking after walking Pepper...

Recently @vafashiongirl asked me on Twitter if I take offense to magazine articles & blog posts about “The Look For Less” when my brands might be “The Look”. Nope. Fashion is meant to inspire. If we create a look that moves you to want/need it, great. But let’s face it, everyone shops differently…
Daily Necessities
This is SUCH a great post, I couldn’t help but share. Gretchen Rubin of The Happiness Project discusses how what we do every day is so much more important than what we do once in a while. It’s a short read, and very very worthy of your time:

Another Resolution, This Time for Keeps
Let’s talk about why I haven’t been posting on tumblr. Oh, what’s that? I have nothing to say? That’s because there’s no good reason for me not to be writing. I just come up with lame excuses and vague utterances of, “oh I’ll do that later.” Only later never comes and I’m stuck with regret.
Peps came to work with me yesterday. It was divine,...

Perfect job advice.

On my first Friday at Marie Claire magazine (circa 1996) my boss asked me to “please return all the shoes to their respective designers by Monday”.
Ok sure.
I went into the fashion closet (think large ROOM) and surveyed what must have been no less than 1000 pairs of shoes crammed onto shelves. I…

dknyprgirl: My 10 Commandments of Fashion PR →
This can apply to many non-PR fields. So good.
dknyprgirl:
1. There is no “i” in team, but there is one in “chic”. Dress the part, because it matters.
2. People remember how they are treated. Be kind to everyone- you never know where they will eventually end up.
3. Being accessible makes you indispensable.
4. Communication is your job, silence is…

Full Credit For Being Alive: On City Life. →

When I tell friends from home that I live in New York City, a lot of them don’t understand how I can deal with being so far away from nature. I used to try to defend city life by explaining to them the beauty of Central Park, the proximity to a variety of beaches and hiking routes, and all of the…

My mental age is 40…so unsurprising. I even said twitter was “essential” and got this answer. Lord knows how old this quiz would say I was if I had answered that twitter is just “ok.”
