Friday Five

For this week's FF, I'm going to post five questions I've answered over at Formspring. (Keep 'em coming!)


I'm dying to know...What is a life size Prada Robot. Can you show us a picture?

I will absolutely post a photo! You know, your guess is as good as mine. A few years back, Prada debuted a key chain collection that was kicked off with a robot. (They're actually not meant to hold keys - they're meant to be hung on Prada bags.) My parents are very loyal Prada customers and my mother collected about ten of these key chains. My father was soon after gifted a Prada robot that stands about three feet tall. It sits in our formal living room. It doesn't actually do robotic things, but it's neat to look at. (We also have a "life size" Fendi bear in our house... can you tell that we're in the fashion industry?)




What was the best compliment you've ever received?

A boss once told me that I "radiate goodness" and that was pretty fantastic to hear. But honestly, the best and highest compliment anyone could ever pay me is to tell me they enjoy my writing.


What are your favorite hair/skin products right now?

Wow - great question! For hair, I've been pretty loyal to Bumble & bumble, which is also where I get my hair cut here in NYC. I am loving their Gentle shampoo and Super Rich conditioner. I also like Organix Coconut Milk Split Ends Mender. Honestly, I am a product junkie and ALWAYS on the lookout for new things. For skin, I have been using Bliss Fabulous Foaming face wash, Bliss Best of Skintentions daily moisturizer (for day) and Dermalogica Skin Smoothing creme (for night).


What are your go-to outfits for dates?

Well, like I said, I'm hopelessly single. But on the rare occasion that a guy is interested and I do actually go on a date, I always reach for a little black dress. Whenever I see a great LBD on sale, I buy it. You can never have enough!


What does living a life of luxury mean to you? What about people who cannot afford expensive things?

Coco Chanel once said, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise is it not luxury." Living a life of luxury isn't about expensive things. It's about being comfortable, happy, and making the most of what you've got.


Wishes for a wonderful weekend!
