Sex and the Cities - Charlotte

This week, I will present you with four friends who are living modern day lives of Sex and the City characters through landing their dream jobs and looking fashionable every step of the way!

Meet Renna, who like Charlotte, is an art enthusiast living in New York City.

What is a typical day in the life of a gallerist?

I am a sale administrator at a large auction house so my day consists of about a million things! I work closely with consignors, specialists, framers, shippers, legal, compliance, etc. to make sure that all of the details are in order for us to hold a sale.

What are your favorite things to do for a night on the town in New York City?

Some of my favorite spots are Kingswood and Fedora in the West Village for drinks. I also love Boqueria in the Flatiron for tapas and sangria. Madison Square Park is my favorite park in the city and also a center for public art. I love to grab a bite at Shake Shack or Eataly then walk around the park while checking out the current works on display. Also, there are tons of cute dogs in the park and some chubby squirrels.

How do you think your profession has influenced your personal style? (Or do you think it has?)

I try to dress professionally at work but rather than dressing too corporate, I try to accessorize and bring my personality to what I wear. Lately, I have been stacking Roberto Cavalli snake bangles up one wrist (an homage to my other favorite blog manrepeller.com). I am a sucker for heels but I always kick them off under my desk (I have 14 pairs of shoes under my desk, I don't know how that happened. I may have a bit of Carrie in me as well!). I run around all day and I have a secret fear that I will trip and fall into a painting so I switch back and forth at random intervals throughout my day. It's weird.

In what ways do you identify with or not identify with Charlotte?

Charlotte! I love Charlotte! Let's see, I think Charlotte and I are both probably looking for the beauty in life, which is why I love to be around artwork all day. You could say I am a romantic at heart; although, I like to think that I am not as die-hard about it as Charlotte. I don't know, we are also both brunettes!

What inspires you from a career standpoint?

The incredible works of art that I work with inspire me everyday. I love working with art as well as with our clients, I aspire to work as a specialist or in a client relations capacity, one day. History and art are intrinsically aligned; looking at history through the lens of an artist or a work of art tells a unique story. Alternately, looking at art through the lens of the historical climate in which it was created in can transform the way one looks at it in the present. I love uncovering those layers. For now, I love what I do!
