Life Is A Special Occasion

I talk a lot about the power of relationships in business. That applies to your vendors, your team, and yes, even your wardrobe.

I don’t just shop. I build partnerships. My relationship with Jeri at Bergdorf Goodman is a prime example of what I call Monogamous Buying.

Because I invest loyalty in one person, she invests curation in me. She knows my brand, my body, and my goals. She creates access to experiences, like this incredible day with Giorgio Armani. that a transactional shopper would never see.

But this isn't just about the clothes. It’s about the balance.

My days as a CEO can be heavy. They are filled with high-stakes decisions, anxiety, and pressure. I carry a lot of weight.

So, when I said I wanted to tap into my "Inner Pageant Girl" last year, it wasn't about vanity. It was about finding a counterbalance to the heaviness.

• The Wartime CEO in me needs armor.

• The Inner Pageant Girl in me needs to feel like a princess.

  
  

For a few hours at this event, I wasn't solving problems. I was grounded. I was peaceful. I was joyful.

Life is a special occasion. You shouldn't wait for a gala to treat it like one.
