"   7:00 A.M. Like my grandmother, I wake up early. I&amp;#039;m always happy in the morning, so I get up easily. The first thing I do is put on music. I listen to things I can sing\u2014French musicians like Fran\u00E7oise Hardy or Dalida. Before, I was a shower girl, but I just moved into a place on the Bowery in New York with a huge bathtub. I take a bath every morning and sometimes at night. I love shower gels from Molton Brown and Laura Mercier. She has all those scrubs and sugary things. One day it was horrible; I went to a meeting, and I had just used the Laura Mercier, and my boss was like, &amp;quot;Why does it smell like cotton candy in here?&amp;quot; I don&amp;#039;t put makeup on in the morning, only at night when I go out. In the day I feel like it&amp;#039;s cheating. I leave in my workout outfit, something I would never do in Paris. You will never see a Frenchwoman on the street in yoga pants. 7:45 A.M. I don&amp;#039;t eat breakfast, but I grab a mocha at Bowery Coffee. I&amp;#039;m back on coffee! I used to rely on four coffees a day, but I&amp;#039;ve cut down a lot. When I came back I was like, Why did I live without that? It&amp;#039;s just so good. The best is when you pair it with a cigarette. 8:00 A.M. I do Gyrotonic; I learned about it when I was dancing with Martha Graham. I think it&amp;#039;s much better than Pilates. Then I take a quick shower. Getting dressed afterward is fast, about 10 minutes\u2014I usually think about what I&amp;#039;m going to wear before bed. I wear a lot of Sonia Rykiel, but I mix it with things I&amp;#039;ve found at Browns. My dad and his family own it, so I&amp;#039;m very lucky. I mix and match with Valentino shoes and a Saint Laurent jacket or a Proenza Schouler sweater or something from Lanvin. I always wear earrings and rings. I don&amp;#039;t wear necklaces or bracelets. I love my collection of vintage pearl earrings and new ones from Deszo by Sara Beltr\u00E1n and Marie-H\u00E9l\u00E8ne de Taillac. I have about 10 pairs and a collection of 40 rings\u2014my grandmother gives me a lot of her old ones. 9:00 A.M. I take a taxi to work and catch up on my e-mail. I try not to look at it before that. My first conversation of the day is usually with my family in Paris; we&amp;#039;re all super close. Sometimes I bring a book with me, but I always end up Instagramming instead. I finally finished Karine Tuil&amp;#039;s L&amp;#039;Invention de Nos Vies, one of my favorite books this year.  9:30 A.M. I read everything\u2014WWD, The New York Times, New York, The Daily, Le Monde. I need to know what&amp;#039;s going on in France so I can keep up with my women. I receive maybe 200 e-mails a day. I screen them with my assistants, and then we make our plans for the day. We have a great atmosphere at the office. I try to have nobody wear makeup. I think it&amp;#039;s cute\u2014so French. 12:00 P.M. I usually have lunch out with editors or friends. Bergdorf Goodman is right in front of the office, so I go there often. It&amp;#039;s dangerous because sometimes I&amp;#039;ll end up shopping. Nobu is nearby as well. I also go to Amaranth or Candle Cafe. I don&amp;#039;t like salad; I like fish and vegetables or steak. I like to have an animal\u2014is that bad? 1:30 P.M. I have five or six meetings a day, discussing our plans and strategy and the preparations for the shows. 7:00 P.M. I go to an event or dinner almost every night. I keep heels at my desk to dress up my outfit. I love to eat at Omen, the Cleveland, Caf\u00E9 Select, and Mercer Kitchen. And I like Sant Ambroeus. They just opened one in SoHo. In Paris, I go to Caf\u00E9 de Flore\u2014the food is not good, but it&amp;#039;s the place to go. I see my boyfriend and my best friend every night. She lives really close by, so sometimes we&amp;#039;ll meet for dinner or a drink. I go out six nights a week; I won&amp;#039;t stay home unless I&amp;#039;m forced to. I don&amp;#039;t really go out Sundays, but if I can I go to the movies because I hate watching TV. I think it&amp;#039;s depressing. 11:00 P.M. To relax, I read or get massages or have hot chocolate with a cigarette. I have a massage guy who comes to my place once a week. Then I&amp;#039;ll take a bath with essential oils and more Laura Mercier products. 12:00 A.M. My bedroom is really nice\u2014it has floor-to-ceiling windows. My bed faces a window, and I have a great view of the Bowery. I have white sheets from a French brand called Descamps and some sweet pink-striped ones we did for Sonia Rykiel. I like to eat chocolate late right before going to bed. My mother sends boxes from La Maison du Chocolat, and I&amp;#039;ll have it at random times, like the middle of the night. My boyfriend thinks it&amp;#039;s a bad habit, so I try not to wake him up. \u2014As told to Christine Whitney "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
