On November 9th, I was asked to speak at the Effective Communication Seminar Hosted by CRE Finance Council in New York City. Effective communication is translated to verbal and non verbal forms of speak. In my opinion, before entering any room, make sure you’re filled with a dose of confidence and self awareness and you’ll be able to dive into any topic that’s of importance to you.…
My soul really needed this live chat with LifeStyle Editor, Jamie Feldman from Huffington Post (video here–> Huffington Post). We sat down to talk face to face (see pictures below) on all things body image, confidence and fashion.

I’m fashionably late thanking PLY APPAREL for having me part of their beautifully orchestrated New York Fashion Week February 2016 show. I wore two pieces that I wish I could have kept but sadly had to give back to the incredibly talented and loving duo Pamela and Lamarr. The show featured me of course but also had models of all shapes wearing styles that are current and will be relevant in your wardrobe for years to come.…
I was pleased to be asked to speak at Moody’s Financial (downtown Manhattan) to an impressive group of women on how confidence translates all areas of your life. I find that everyone wants a quick fix on how to “get there” faster and the reality is there is no quick fix on how to become confident and your best self. We are all a work in progress.…

There is nothing I love more than taking a vision from a client and making it into a reality. My client who lives in the upper west side of Manhattan, loves her books and dreamed of a wall full of books.
