The Bomb Life 101: Never Eat Alone; in a Robert Rodriguez Top, BCBG Pants, Gianvito Rossi Pumps, and a Mandrick Paris ‘Red Bottom’ Hat

There is a book by Keith Ferrazzi called Never Eat Alone: And Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time. The premise is simple: relationships and meetings matter, so take time to grab coffee, lunch, or dinner to trade ideas and see how each party can help the other grow. I first bought the book when I was way younger, working in a more corporate environment. Though I tried to always plan lunch with someone, most of my lunches were spent at my desk because I really didn’t have that many contacts or much to talk about! But now in this freeform stage I’m in, where you don’t know if your next meeting could lead to your business break through, I now spend all day at meetings!

The other day, my first lunch was scheduled at noon and I didn’t get home until after midnight! And today, I’m meeting with friends, managers, and my speech coach (I’m about to kill my next keynote!).

The whole ‘Never Eat Alone’ concept happened organically for me, and I encourage you to try it out! Whether you’re home or traveling, schedule those catch ups and touch base with people you care about. As Ferrazzi’s Amazon synopsis states, “Ferrazzi’s form of connecting to the world around him is based on generosity, helping friends connect with other friends. Ferrazzi distinguishes genuine relationship-building from the crude, desperate glad-handing usually associated with “networking.” He then distills his system of reaching out to people into practical, proven principles.” Not bad. And I was not paid to endorse this book, by the way. It’s a good read!

At any rate, for my day in the city, I wore my Mandrick Paris hat, that I absolutely love! This is one of those pieces that always gets a compliment. Wish I hadn’t sold my red bottom black shoes! That would have killed it!

Instead, I wore all black, namely a sheer Robert Rodriguez top, BCBG pants, and Gianvito Rossi Perspex and Leather pumps, along with a pop of red lipstick and a red Louis Vuitton clutch.

I wasn’t wearing any makeup, so I rocked my Céline shades.

I think I look like a rapper here, what do you think?
At any rate, I’m excited for all the events and happenings on the horizon. Next stop, sunny LA! I’m getting lots of lunches on the books already:)
