Publicist PP here. I split my time between Los Angeles and the DC area. When I'm in the DC area, as I am right now, I mainly stay at my home in Potomac, MD. I'm going to check out the jewelry site you recommended. I always love learning about new and unique brands so thank you for sharing

Please let me know what you think, Pub PP! The bracelets are my obsession. I love layering them!

Haha, I've actually considered setting up a YouTube channel with style and fashion tips. Good to know I'm on the right track for it.

I don't have a blog but that's a good thought. I don't just want to make blind recommendations though so I could possibly set up a Q & A type blog. Readers send in their requests as you guys have posted yours here, and I can make recommendations. That way it would be different from the trazillion and one style blogs already out there. Hmm. You guys are giving me some great ideas!

You're so welcome! I'm thrilled that I was able to provide suggestions that so many of you enjoyed. This was a lot of fun for me and such a great distraction.


And for those who had negative comments earlier today, even the most detailed posts I made in this thread and the other one took me no more than 10-15 mins each, as this is my job and I know these products like the back of my hand. I'm not sitting here searching the web trying to find and think of recommendations. These are products and brands I know and love. I just narrow them down, add some links, and boom, post is done.

Maybe you've been fortunate enough to never struggle with a health crisis like I am right now, but even the slightest distraction is welcome, and writing these posts did more for me than it did for those who asked for the recommendations. For all of you who asked for recommendations and were appreciative of the advice I shared, thank you. I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

I'm the one who asked if you were single and said if so you should focus more on dating. I of course has no idea you were having a health crisis and I apologize.

Question about watches - I like the Chanel J12 or the Bvlgari Serpenti. What's your take??? Thank you!

Publicist PP here. So, you can't really compare those 2 watches as they are entirely different from each other. The J12 is a sporty luxury watch - very modern and trendy. The Bvlgari Serpenti isn't. So what is your overall look? Which watch matches that better? I will tell you that I've had my J12 for several years now and get a lot of use out of it because my entire look is sporty. I pretty much wear some sort of athleisure outfit every day and use my accessories to dress it up. The J12 is great for this purpose so it works for my general look. The Bvlgari Serpenti isn't totally sporty, although it *can* be dressed down. But it also isn't high fashion - you won't be wearing it for a fancy night out. Kourtney Kardashian is probably the most well-known for her love of the watch, and she pairs it with casual looks and fun party looks, but it isn't always easy to do. So in a nutshell, it depends on what your overall style is and which watch will give you the most bang for the buck in terms of use.

NP here. Could you recommend the watch for 36 year old professional who works for on home and travels a lot?
I like the Serpenti watch myself but would you better suggest Cartier ? I would like something under 5k.
Thanks and your recommendations were amazing!

Hi PPP: in case you check in ... I've been the grateful recipient of several of your suggestions and have purchased at least 5 items from your recommendations. Besides being so thankful for your efforts, I have two tidbits that may be of minor interest to you. 1. After many many years and more bad bags, I now now a tote bag that nicely holds a file folder (8x11), can fit my macbook on occasion, and other necessities. I finally bought the small Amy Ferragamo tote and absolutely love it. So you you're ever looking for a certain bag, that might be it!
2. Especially if you're recuperating or bed rest or under the weather at all, check out Shitt's Creek on Amazon. It's nothing like anything I've liked in the past, but on bed rest myself I started watching it out of sheer boredom and ended up laughing out loud. I thought of you and think you'll enjoy it if just for the clothes the Rose family wears. Especially David Rose -- he's a hoot. My best to you!
