Lexi's FAVORITE shoes come from talented designer Maria Gangemi, this week's guest. Learn Maria's best business tips, how she gets through challenges, and what excites her most about her booming business of Italian luxuries! As a young girl growing up in Sicily, Maria Gangemi was equally captivated by its open-air fish and farmers markets and refined cuisine as she was by the handmade shoes displayed in boutiques’ windows. It was the artisans behind the shoes, however, that kept her attention.   Over the following three decades, Maria pursued a career spanning across the realms of creative and merchandising—becoming the fashion director for footwear and accessories at the original Fliene’s, the creative director of two growing shoe companies, SVP of European Luxury for a leading online retailer, and more. Still, something always brought her back to the Italian artisans from her childhood. Find Everyone: M.

Her signature style encapsulates vintage palm beach socialite and inspired the girls many times when designing prints.  To quote Teggy “I believe that less is never more and that life is too short to not be glamorous.  I dedicate this to all those who care what I wear.” A belief system that resonates with us Caviar Dreamers!  But how did Teggy begin blogging, was she always this chic, how did she expand her brand into retail and is her real name actually Teggy?

Hannah Ferrier sailed onto our screens back in 2016 leading the cast in hit Bravo show; Below Deck, Mediterranean. Viewers saw Hannah take on the role of Chief Stew leading the charge with 8 other crew members on a luxury yacht. Taking on two jobs simultaneously is not for the faint of heart and the reality of a career in SuperYachting is not all champagne, caviar and St Tropez sunsets; it’s equal parts high drama on the high seas… especially with cameras rolling 24/7!  Hannah grew up on a small island an hour North of Sydney, Australia and after leaving high school early and getting an incredibly successful head start in her career she realized that her travel goals weren’t fulfilled. A trip to the South of France set off a fire in her soul and on her return home a quick google search “how to work in the south of France without speaking French” would change her course forever and literally kick started a Yachtie career that eventually lead to a lead role on reality tv. Now back on dry land but always one to ‘Seas the Day’ Hannah juggles the joys of being a new mom with hosting a wildly popular podcast, 'Dear Reality, You're Effed' and running her yacht training school Ocean International Training Academy.

We thought we had experienced girl power at its height, that was until we sat down with fierce female founders Jill McDermott and Sara Andreasson of Michele Marie PR. They lead an all female, bicoastal, full service PR agency, named #4 on 2021's Forbes list, specializing in fashion, beauty & lifestyle. Their company culture of kindness is a direct result of their own negative experiences as young women in the cut throat world of PR. Along with the glamorous life of red carpet events, dressing celebrities, planning A List parties and working with the world's leading luxury brands came the dark side of the industry; bullying, harassment and toxic workplaces. Whilst working side by side as in-house PR for a global brand, a chance side gig threw them together and aged 27 they ventured off together to change the landscape of fashion, beauty and lifestyle PR. Tune in this week to hear all about the infamous world of PR and what it really entails from these two girl bosses!

Sabeena Lahda is the definition of an entrepreneur. She started her company, DEUX vegan nutrient and vitamin rich cookie dough, to disrupt a locked up industry from a place of passion. She grew up on the same breakfast of champions as the Marge; Oreo’s, in Texas to immigrant parents. After college Sabeena went to work at PepsiCo / Frito Lay in marketing. Her corporate career goals there didn’t align at all with her personal health and wellness journey which she documented on her blog (before blogs were a thing) and she soon realized it was time to make changes. When the pandemic hit and her excessive vitamin schedule left her “pill fatigued” (a term which we love) she set out to find a delicious yet nutritious delivery into your system and after many rounds of trial and error landed on what is now DEUX (pronounced dough). We met in her booth at a tradeshow and instantly fell in love with her infectious personality and pop color, Insta-fabulous branding and of course the eaters that we are, got instantly hooked on her products! Fast forward to a Shark Tank foray, a feature in Forbes, major VC investors, a placement in Whole Foods and new products Sabeena shaking up the unbaked dough industry!
