Yesterday I was thrilled to leave work early and attend Glamour magazine's "Love Your Life" conference, held at New York City's 92nd St Y. I only got to hear one of the two panel discussions: "Love Your Work Life." With a lineup including "Top Chef"'s Padma Lakshmi, designer Anna Sui, makeup guru Bobbi Brown, Dylan's Candy Bar owner Dylan Lauren, and my old boss, politics blogger Arianna Huffington, who wouldn't be psyched? The panel, moderated by journalist Deborah Roberts, was supposed to be about "high-achieving women discuss[ing] success and work-life balance." And while there were some really solid gold pieces of career advice dished out (Anna Sui, adopt me!), I also couldn't help but feel frustrated by how little I could relate to these women, who are faaar wealthier than the average woman ever will be. Most of us won't be so lucky, like Padma Lakshmi, to force herself to let her baby's nanny deal with her crying child.
After the jump, some of the afternoon's highlights, both good and bad:
