SpanxTop 4 fashion tips for women:1) Take your favorite and most painful shoes to pedorthist Bob Schwartz at
Eneslow Foot Comfort Center in NYC. He turns your stilettos into shoes that feel like slippers.
2) Wear flesh-colored shoes-they'll elongate your legs.
3) Always dress like you're going to bump into your ex- boyfriend. The day you don't, is the day that you'll run into him!
4) Throw on a big necklace. It's the best outfit picker-upper.
Designers she digs most: "It's changing every season, but right now I love
Jason Wu, along with Jenna Lyons (the creative director of
J.Crew) and, as always,
Michael Kors."
What's totally worth the splurge: Manolo Blahniks. "They are the sexiest. Period."
Cheap thrill: Vintage sunglasses bought at
Housing Works for $10
Must-have item for fall: "Crazy shoes! Buy one that goes with nothing you own and wear it with everything. My fave for fall is a pair of
Bruno Frisonis with a big, pink fan on them."
What she'd never be caught dead wearing:"A baby-doll dress, crop top, plunging neckline with a mini skirt that you can't move in, baggy jeans,
and anything ripped, stained, or destroyed."
Fashion dream: "I always make over everyone else, and I wish
Michael Kors would make over me!"
Fashion icons: Coco Chanel, Diana Vreeland, Slim Keith, Babe Paley, Carine Roitfeld, Candy Pratts Price, and Mad Men's Betty Draper and Joan Holloway
