CASSANDRA GREY: The Confidence Code

As soon as you meet Cassandra Grey it is very apparent she is one of those women who has an eye for things. It’s no surprise then that over the past five years she’s successfully grown her company, Violet Grey, into the beauty destination it is today.

Violet Grey is a place where celebrities, make-up artists, and, well, people like us, trust a curated team of beauty industry professionals to tell them what products really work.

I love the face Cassandra gives to beauty. As a smart, worldly, and free woman, she stands for a new definition of beauty, from the inside out – but with all the perfect tools to make you feel your best, of course. In this podcast, she explains very well how beauty is confidence – and illustrates how to get to that confidence…

STYLE STORY / BO CARNEY

We’re excited to re-introduce our partnership with Women & Whiskies (which you may remember from last Fall): a series of features and events celebrating women who both inspire and empower. This year, we’ve uncovered more beautiful stories from women who were emboldened to create their own path to success. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do. The best part of our Women & Whiskies series, of course, is having the chance to meet you IRL at our co-hosted events, and hearing your stories — so be on the lookout for locations and dates — and if you can’t join us, we want to hear from you in the comments!

THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY WORK WIFE

Kim Dang and Pia Mechler were friends before they decided to work together. They both happened to be at points in their careers where they felt that it just “wasn’t it.” Kim was a respected Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics at Yale but longed for more creativity in her work, seeking a role that encompassed her second passion – film. Meanwhile, Pia was an actress and writer who longed for more control and a chance to tell female driven stories that weren’t getting seen or heard.

Over a glass of wine (naturally) Kim agreed to produce a movie that Pia had written and was itching to direct. So, together with a third partner, they produced the indie comedy Everything is Wonderful, which is coming out this month (!)

In Her Words: Elizabeth Baudouin

For the majority of my twenties and early thirties, I wore a steady uniform of black jeans, black Chelsea boots, and a long, drapey jacket that would sometimes be subbed for a blazer. I’d line my eyes with black...
