1) Paint your nails blood red. No frou-frou pinks. Or tangerines. Just a spicy, rich red. Red nails scream “Hot Betty coming through!”

2) Find out who does the best eyebrows in your city and get yours done there. Ditto for a good set of eyelash extensions.

3) Smile the entire day. Turn up the corners of your mouth, and make it last from the time you walk out the door till you come back. You’ll be amazed at how much lovely attention you get.

4) Compliment at least 3 other people over the course of your day.

5) Sport a Brynn Capella clutch. They’re attention magnets. Good for both day and night. Full of texture and color and originality. Very Sex in the City-ish, without needing the $900 Manolo’s.
