PERFECT CONDITIONS No jeans at work! For a meeting in Houston, I usually

wear a fitted Giorgio Armani suit or a Donna Karan dress. On other professional occasions, I will wear a pair of Maxstudio trousers or a Laundry by Shelli Segal pencil skirt with a tee or a sweater from Ella Moss.

SPACE ROCKS My most cherished piece is an 18K-gold Jean Schlumberger "rope" necklace my mother gave me. When I travel to Anvers and Florence, I always make a point of shopping for gold and diamond rings.

BLAST OFF My favorite accessory is my silver BMW 540i.

FIRST STEPS Well-made boots are my weakness.

My absolute favorite is a winter-white stiletto by Manolo Blahnik. It comes to the knee and has a silver buckle detail on the vamp and above the ankle. For fall, I have my eye on a pair of vixen-like Stella McCartney boots-black, stiletto with a pointed toe.
