OMG, I’m tired writing this email.

And yes, my Gen X brain is tired because your style guru, aka the friend in your head, went out 4 times in a week.

No, I’m not talking about picking up my daughter from tennis. I mean actually getting dressed, wearing my Choos, and attending events…including the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and an electric charity luncheon on Cinco de Mayo that absolutely raised my vibrations.

Listen, I’m an ambivert. I need the energy…and then I need the recovery.

And my menopausal brain refuses to shut off, even if I’m home by 10.

All that going out sparked my creative brain so much that I deleted the newsletter I had planned to send about what I’m buying for clients this spring…and started fresh.

But first: you need to go watch The Devil Wears Prada (and yes, it’s worth it).

There are so many good themes, iconic fashion moments, and cameos that I’m already planning to watch it again this weekend.

Are you an Andy?

Back in 2006, when The Devil Wears Prada first came out, I was Andy.

The assistant merchandiser running around making the impossible happen, solving problems no one else wanted to touch, and rarely getting credit for the work.

I watched girls with fewer qualification but the “right background get promoted before me. I was even asked to train some of them.

Sound familiar?

Fast forward to May 18, 2012—the day my boss, always dressed in Donna Karan, essentially forced me to quit.

Ironically, It was supposed to be my dream job.

That night, over a double date with our friends Tania and Kamil, I said out loud the idea I had been carrying for 2 years:

“What if I started a styling business…would anyone actually hire me?”

It was the same dream I had manifested at 16, even if I couldn’t fully see it yet.

We’ve all been Andy at some point in our careers: working hard, proving ourselves, waiting for someone else to validate our worth.

Sometimes the biggest promotion is the one you give yourself.

Are you a Miranda?

Along the way, you may end up being Miranda. The Visionary.

And coincidentally both of them from DWP and SATC had short hair. 🧑🏻‍🦳

The one with final approval, who answers to the Board of Directors, and leading teams.

You're under pressure for every choice.

You have the power to change someone's career and the weight of that responsibility.

How do I save the team or can we afford payroll this month?

You might forget to show your team how much you appreciate them.

You get to decide if you will chanel someone else's version of Miranda or create your own.

I'm hoping we choose power with kindness.

Are you an Emily?

Everyone thinks they want to be Emily.

She has the perfect bone structure. Things look flawless on her. Style seems effortless.

Even Emily in Paris understood the assignment. She's Iconic.

She has taste that is singularly focused, she knows what she wants and goes after it.

She's polished, sharp, fast. The woman who notices everything before everyone else.

She believes power comes from being indispensable and sometimes steps over others in her way.

But deep down she wants to be chosen, loved + appreciated.

A lot of us high achieving women live here longer than we realize.

Our insecurities do not define us, they help us to grow.

Our Spring 26 List is updated to include Andy, Miranda and Emily pieces.

Andy = Classic, Preppy, Miranda = aka Kris Jenner, Emily = Avant garde and Edgy

Heck we might be all 3 at some point in our career Reader.

The movie reminds us to not apologize for our need to work and that should be celebrated.

P.S. Happy Mother's Day. Treat yourself to the gift of style and self love.
