I love Kings of Leon and would love to work with them. I think they are so cool as I can’t resist a band with great style!

Sometimes when I’m listening to "Sex on Fire" I have Bruce Springsteen in my head. Does this happen to anybody else? It reminds me of Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 hit "Dancing in the Dark".

Life is full of cliches. The problem with cliches is that they are usually true. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty comes from within. All true, but just sometimes something on the outside can change how we feel on the inside. This time of year, there’s so much expectation for one to feel wonderful, to be top of your game and to be your most wonderful self. Well, what if you don’t feel your best? Does a hot bath really work? Well, it does for the moment and sometime a moment is all you need. We expect things to last when life is really just a series of moments (another wonderful cliche). So what makes you feel good on the outside? Mascara, shoes, perfume, a glamour dress? Just remember: if you feel good about yourself for just a moment, it just might be worth it.

Diane Von Furstenberg teamed up with DC Comics and wrote her own comic book, Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be, Featuring the Adventures of Diva, Viva & Fifa. It’s about the fulfillment and empowerment of women. DVF says: "If I have any mission in life… it is to empower women"

As a little girl I loved the tv show Wonder Women with Linda Carter. I thought she was great – I love her costume – her boots, her tiara and her golden rope. She was sexy and powerful.

By 1975, DVF was making 15,000 wrap dresses a week! Wonder Women!!!

DVF was her signing her book in her Mayfair shop, I realized I was starring at her because her hair reminded me of Wonder Women’s!
Diane Von Furstenberg on plastic surgery: "I know that a lot of people look at me and think, ‘Why doesn’t she do something to that face?’ But I made a decision. I do yoga and I hike, but I won’t do Botox … I know if I start doing things I will get insecure." [British Vogue]

The proceedes from the comic book , the special edition T-shirt , and the tote will benefit Vital Choices, a company that helps to empower women. I love the t-shirt. I’ve never been a big t-shirt fan but lately I can’t seem to get enough of them.

Forbes.com: What do you wear to feel powerful?
DVF: Hiking boots.

Diane Von Furstenberg won Drapers 2008, Womenswear Brand of the Year!

This is a 1949 ad for Platex Pink-Ice rubber pants!

I know, we can’t quite imagine ourselves wearing a pair of rubber pants so we’ll look slim in our latest fashions but who knows maybe we would have! (of course we would have!)
…and here’s the latest version…something more comfortable!

If you’d like to look a bit more svelt Pretty Polly Secret Slimmer might be perfect for the holiday season.(You can now eat that extra mince pie)!
I tried a pair of these tights in a 15 denier and you do feel held in, in all the right places without your circulation being cut off – tummy and thigh control. The tights have variable compressions which give the body smooth lines and it’s designed so you don’t look like you’re wearing a big pair of pants. They are 88% Nylon, 11% Elastane and 1% Cotton and they feel very nice! Whoo extra mince pies this season!!

I’ve never been a nail biter but sometimes I feel I have the hands of an old lady – they get so dry from handling fabrics and dragging luggage around all day.

I am obssessd with looking after my hands, and I’ve been using Solar Oil for my cuticles and nails for years. For hand creams, I tend to use several products depending on my mood, from Glam Blam and Bliss to Creme de la Mer. I never put hand cream on when I’m working (which is when I need it most) as I’m afraid I’ll get it on the fabrics.

Teresa Smith from Nails at Work painted these nails! I love deep shades of red but I can’t resist dark blues and purples!

I love having manicures: it’s quite a treat for me. Nails at Work offers mobile manicures so if a group of girls are off to a party you could all get a mini manicure while you’re still at work. Of course it would be even nicer if it was the boss’ treat!
