My grandfather, who is my hero, has one of the firmest handshakes in a powerful but not squeezing way. I love handshakes.. I hug my friends but otherwise when I meet someone I like to shake.. I feel like it's such a great way to gage someone basically immediately - I really admire people who look you in the eyes and shake your hand with confidence. The way you shake hands is very telling of what type of person you are, deadfish shakes really scare me.

somehow it actually transforms any handshake into something genuine and friendly rather than weirdly formal and rigid

it's an ultimate power move that will shift the dynamic and instantly make you seem more confident

I managed to completely flub a handshake at work yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it. Anticipated a faster approach and sheepishly clamped down on the guy's fingers like a drunken lobster. Do I lean into the embarrassment and let it be a humbling experience, or do I think of it as a subversive act against antiquated corporate gestures? Either way, a life-changing experience!

Working in my field I just love a funky sock. I get my socks from one man, and one man only…That man is Sock Man on St. Marks. It’s a classic East Village staple - When you get there, don’t rush, comb the entirety of their selection and keep an open mind. In my early years in New York as an intern and stylist assistant I always picked up socks for my bosses there, and then when I had days off I would go and get socks for myself. I never leave without a minimum of 10 new pairs of socks and at least a 5 minute conversation with owner Marty, who is a cool, village grunge who loves Japanese socks.

Recently, I’ve been listening to or watching Joan Rivers standup and red carpet demolitions. She is so damn funny. I love her shockingly harsh comedic approach and roasting. My brain seems to be wired similarly to hers; mostly in her blatant honesty. She used to really speak her mind on red carpet critiques…Today everyone treads around on eggshells, it’s all so celebratory, confirming, and inclusive when it comes to fashion critiques. She was so real and hysterical as a commentator and told it like it is. I don’t think it will ever be the same again and hasn’t been since she died. I recently found a reality show she did with her daughter Melissa, called ‘Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best’ from 2005 on the E network, and it's just phenomenal.

I grew up in the South and so it’s no real shocker that I have a soft spot for Waffle House. As soon as my husband and I land in Atlanta, the aux plays Bankroll Fresh and our first stop is Waffle House. Jack Irv (my husband) and his boys, especially Tommy Malekoff, love Waffle House, so much so that at our wedding this past November we had Waffle House cater for the late night food.
