Driving Miss DVF

"I always knew the woman I wanted to be — I knew I wanted to be a woman who was independent, a woman who was in the driving seat, a woman who didn’t need for the man to decide.”
--Diane Von Furstenberg

Not only is Diane Von Furstenberg one of my favorite designers, she has created a fashion empire by following her instincts and being gutsy and taking risks. At this point in my life, I need to follow her example, be a stronger woman, and remember the young girl I used to be...full of ambition, talent, and initiative. Ladies, get out of the passenger seat and start taking control of the wheel, because we're the only ones who can move ourselves forward, and on a road that works best for us.

Raising My Glass to Barney's New York

I spent a fantastic afternoon at Barney’s New York store opening in Scottsdale, Arizona, at Scottsdale Fashion Square. I was greeted by the friendliest associates, indulged in champagne and a pleasant afternoon browsing all the new lines, from Mason to Cynthia Vincent to Carmen Marc Valvo to Diane von Furstenberg, and that’s just women’s clothing. I fell in love with cool weather pieces from Vince and DVF and all the beautiful jewelry in exquisite display cases, merchandised to pure perfection.

Ahhhh. Nothing excites me quite as much as fashion, shopping, and finding the newest creation from the latest designers…and Barney’s has a wonderful, distinctive selection. Go see for yourself…whether in Arizona, or in a city near you. I’ll definitely toast to you, Barney’s.
