I have to be honest. When the "25 Things" note started circulating Facebook and I found myself tagged several times, the idea of participating in it seemed ridiculous. However, after reading an inspiring piece from female Auntpreneur, the Savvy Auntie, Melanie Notkin, I thought it could be a good way to share a little of myself with my readers.
Thanks!
25. I owe my love affair with fashion to the folks at Ermenegildo Zegna, for whom I was doing the advertising campaign for from 2001-2003.
24. I own 3 MTM shirts. I had them made 3 years ago and they still look brand new. Made to Measure isn't just for men!
23. The only clothing store I shop retail? Uniqlo. I swear by their tights and heat tech shirts. Otherwise, it's all about designer resale and and vintage stores for this fashionista.
22. I cried the day I bought my Chanel tweed jacket.
21. I prefer Korres Fig body lotion and shower gel over any perfume.
20. I confess to being a huge fan of La Perla lingerie and have started a nice collection. I believe every woman should have at least one piece in her drawer.
19. In 2005 after being laid off from my advertising job at Tribal DDB after 6 weeks of working there, I started a personal shopping service for Men. It was short lived because I found a job 3 weeks later. However, for select clients, I will still consult.
18. I love shoes but have a well edited collection. My cobbler is my BFF. My Sergio Rossi's, Hollywould, Gucci's, Prada's and Givenchy's get taken to their shoe doctor to get resoled and polished, returned to me looking brand new!
17. I was dumped via text message on my 30th bday. That same guy tried to get back together with me 2 years later. Karma's a bitch!
16. After my divorce, I became a regular on the club scene. Dancing, completely sober, for 8 hours straight. Attending WMC in Miami and meeting famous DJs - Tiesto, Sasha and Armin Van Buuren.
15. I got my first job in advertising from answering an ad in the newspaper!
14. I believe a good sense of humor and the ability to laugh at yourself are essential life survival tools.
13. I am an amazing cook thanks to my ex-husband who helped me hone my skills. I can also set a dining room table like nobody's business
12. My most overwhelmingly joyful moment was seeing my one and only niece, Lilliana Maria being born. Never met a happier baby. I'm a proud Godmama!
11. I have traveled alone through both Europe and South America but nothing compares to low key weekends at the family beach house in Brigantine, NJ.
10. Thanks to acting and singing classes when I was younger I was able to get up in front of 200 people and sing a solo hymn on my wedding day.

8. I was married at 25, divorced at 29 and living in my home, NYC at 30 without looking back.
7. I am a karaoke diva. Nobody does 80's rock like me. Bring it on!
