Following my passion and love of stationery to start Nicely Noted and encourage people to send more handwritten notes. The joy I get from hearing our customers talk about our service inspiring them to send more notes, is really gratifying.

One piece of advice you would give your 18 year old self:
Perry
What makes you unique is something to hold on to, not avoid. Your distinct perspective is good, if we were all the same it would be rather boring.

Skincare product you can’t live without:
Perry
Cetaphil lotion. It’s a great basic for use all over, face included. It’s light enough that it does not feel heavy, but still moisturizes wonderfully.

Your last great read:
Perry
The latest work of fiction I enjoyed was Washington Square by Henry James. I love learning about New York City from years past, both the geographic differences as well as the societal differences.

Your go-to power outfit:
Perry
A simple navy sheath, a beautiful woven silk jacket I bought for an interview at Condé Nast and nude Manolo slingbacks. The coat is taupe with a hint of pint and has this great wavy, structured collar. I can throw it on with a skirt and blouse or jeans to dress them up and make me feel more put together.

The beauty product found in your bag at all times:
Perry
In my bag you will always find a Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter, I love the texture and scent. It’s perfect to combat the dry air on the plane.

Nail color currently on your hands and feet:
Perry
A Dior pale brown with a hint of purple in it. Thanks to Jane Larkworthy my friend and former colleague who is Beauty Director at W magazine.
