Three questions with Tory Burch

 

So I’m practically giddy right now.  I had the pleasure of meeting Tory Burch a few months back when she held a breakfast at her Meatpacking District store in NYC.  She’s even more lovely than I could’ve imagined and quite inspiring as well.  I loved hearing all about how she gets inspired by her travels (especially Venice- my favorite city ever) and how she got started and plans to grow her business.  Enter 2010.  I’ve decided that 2010 will be my year to finally accomplish some of my long-term goals that I’ve been kind of putting around for the last few years and being a major procrastinator.  I’m living in LA now (on my own!) and I find that I meet some many interesting, passionate people that I made the decision to dedicate the occasional blog post to people worthy of all our time.  Tory is one of those people that you need to get to know.  As a woman, mother and entrepreneur I’m very excited to get Tory’s take on advice, career and her biggest guilty pleasure.

 

 

If you could give your 24-year-old self any advice, what would it be?

Beauty-related, I would tell my younger self to never leave the house without moisturizer with SPF.  I wear Pat Wexler’s Tinted Moisturizer now.

What do you love most about your career?

I’m lucky enough to have a day job I feel passionately about.  Every day I’m surrounded by the most creative people, both design-wise and business-wise.

What is your biggest guilty pleasure?

I have a soft spot for fresh beignets.  Heavy on the powdered sugar.

 

Thanks, Tory!  For even more, follow Tory on Twitter!

Gift Idea: Victoria’s Secret The Lacie Panties (for your cousin in college)

So I’ve been trying to think of a fun yet useful gift for my little (or I guess not so little) cousin who’s a sophomore in college.  Besides booze and condoms, I came up with the one thing I could never get enough of…underwear.  These Victoria’s Secret The Lacie panties are kiiiind of a knock off of Cosabella but hey, who has money in college anyway?  They’re super comfy and very sexy…the perfect equation for any college girl.  Get any three for $30 now.

And 4 years later, I bought a new pair of pants

So back during senior year of college, I lived in a pair of stretchy black foldover bootcut leggings and I’m not afraid to admit it.  I probably wore these pants at least 3 days a week and when asked where I got them, I would lie and say they were from Bloomingdales but, in reality, they were from none other than Target.  I’m not really sure why I didn’t want to admit they were from the practically chic Tar-jay but for some reason I didn’t.  Anywho, after college, I obviously couldn’t wear my favorite leggings to work but I wore them on the weekend and now, 4 years later, they are finally worn down to the bare threads and completely stretched out in the butt, haaa.  Before I go on, first I have to let you know that I actually never wear leggings.  I actually really don’t like my legs, which is way after I discovered these little black miracles, I wore them all the damn time.  Naturally I panicked that I wouldn’t be able to find an exact match, but thanks to the lovely buyers at Target, I was proven wrong.  These are leggings FOR THE PEOPLE.  I’d like to personally applaud Champion for making such a fabulous product.

Coach for all your holiday shopping!

So I’ve been perusing the internet the last few days trying to find the best holiday gifts and one Web site that I just keep coming back to is Coach.com.  I’ve been incredibly impressed with their collection this winter and had to share with you, my lovely readers. =)  Make sure you’re checking out Coach stores and Coach.com for all your holiday shopping…right now I’m loving the items above and most especially, the leopard print sequin tote.  Die.

Gossip Girl spotted in PROVA!

So Gossip Girl star, Michelle Trachtenberg was spotted wearing the super chic line, PROVA scarves at the 83rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.  Though PROVA is definitely on the pricier side, these scarves are classic and luxurious and I’m also falling in a little bit of love with the scarf that Michelle is wearing.  Can’t resist the leopard print.
