Are Women in PR Just Grown Up Mean Girls?
Dear The Grindstone & Meredith Lepore,
Loved that movie, but wouldn’t want to be THAT in real life. For starters, I think it’s very important to distinguish between those who do PR at an agency, vs those who do PR in-house. I would imagine that securing press for multiple clients is a different kind of stress than say planning four runway shows in one week for Donna Karan.
But...

#PR101: Public Relations Redefined...
The @NYTimes published an article this week entitled,
Redefining Public Relations in the Age of Social Media
What a good idea. I love a good definition as much as the next girl. Apparently there are lots of very smart, PR professionals from The Public Relations Society of America meeting to go over what the new definition should be. For the record, it was previously:
“Public Relations...

Thank you!
When I started tweeting in 2009, I had no goals. No really, I didn’t. As time has passed, I have come to realize that the goal of Social Media for me is truly building a community. So it means the world to me that DKNY is a #MashableAward finalist for “Must Follow Brand on Social Media”- the only fashion brand in the category.
Thank you for all your love, support and...

Haste Doesn't Make Waste, It Makes People Stupid
At The Cinema Society screening of Breaking Dawn Part 1 (sponsored by us), I was on the carpet with the photographers. I like hanging with them. I learn A LOT. Oftentimes PR people will escort their clients to events such as these so they get camera time. Well, when you hang with the photographers you quickly learn that they are way smarter than us PR people.
You see, when that “nobody...

HOW TO PLAY NICELY IN THE SANDBOX
Your entire life you work toward learning many different things. You aim to become an expert in a particular field and hopefully are successful. But no one ever tells you that skills are only half of the recipe. To really succeed, you need to be a master of human nature.
Bottom line, if you can’t learn how to work with all different types of people, it really doesn’t matter how...

Thou Shall Covet Thy Neighbor's Clothes
The conversation usually goes something like this:
Person A: “I love your coat!”
Person B: “Thanks!”
Ok…I’m waiting…waiting……why stop there? You like the coat, don’t you WANT to know who designed it and maybe even where to purchase it? I do.
Let me tell you something- we all put a lot of thought into what we buy. If someone...

Are you a Splurge or a Steal?
Recently @vafashiongirl asked me on Twitter if I take offense to magazine articles & blog posts about “The Look For Less” when my brands might be “The Look”. Nope. Fashion is meant to inspire. If we create a look that moves you to want/need it, great. But let’s face it, everyone shops differently and what inspires you to splurge is different from one person to the...
