Special Report: Staying Warm and Dry, Billionairess-style!

It is winter in New England, so the weather is simply dreadful! If it's not snowing, it's raining and if it's not raining, there is record wind-chill! What is a billionairess to do when she must take action for hours outdoors?

It's easy, darling! Wear long underwear, wear layers and wear faux fur! If it's raining and you don't have a fur which reverses to a raincoat, find an appropriate umbrella! One of mine is iridescent magenta trimmed with diamonds - very luxe!

The key to staying comfortable is to wear layers. For example, when I went to Boston Common on December 12, the temperature was ~45 degrees and the wind was blowing at about 10-15 mph. I wore long underwear, a knit jumper and my gown under my fur coat. As you can see from the photos, I was so warm that I kept the coat open! On December 18th, the temperature was only about 35 degrees, so I wore essentially the same outfit with the addition of my new faux fur hat. I was sweating!

Rain is a special problem, since so many raincoats lack that je ne sais quoi that a Billionairess demands. But don't despair! There are things you can do! First, if it is raining, wear a gown with a straight skirt. It's also best to wear a gown that does not touch the ground, since water will travel up long skirts by capillary action. I wear a straight cut gown which fits under my posh umbrella and try to stay under its protection. Of course, you can always recruit four gorgeous young men to hold a large waterproof canopy over your head. Sadly, I have been unable to do that yet. Sigh.
