    Why I Launched PDV Beauté | Clean Beauty

    November 13, 2018November 13, 2018

      One of my favorite things about entrepreneurship is being able to build new ideas into my business that are based on our customers. That’s exactly how PDV Beauté was born! I started receiving many questions about skincare, my own beauty routine, and noticed that it was a major priority for our clients.
We launched with

    #MyTinyPinkBathroom: Before and After

    March 20, 2018March 20, 2018

    Photographed by Erin Kestenbaum I moved uptown to the charming East 60’s last spring after living in Tribeca for five years. I decided to trade a glass high-rise for a quiet townhouse, and I’ve never been so at home in a New York apartment. Take a step inside #MyTinyPinkBathroom to see how I brought it

    • Happy birthday @sydneysadick! Your poise, style, and ambition are an inspiration! Also love your way with a dress code: white, gold, and sparkle! ✨
    • I can’t believe I’m writing this...I’m so excited to finally share my #TEDx talk with you! The entire process from composing the talk to actually sharing it with the world was one of the most remarkable experiences that I’ve ever had. From the first moment I was asked to give a talk, I knew that it was a chance to share something so close to my heart, and I hope that you’ll share it with a woman or girl in your world. My story is woven in with the stories of other women, especially my Mom. I mentioned an organization in India called #EducateGirls in my talk - you can learn more about their work here @educategirlsngo _ Thank you to the #TEDx organizers, my fellow speakers, and to my coach Kimberly who helped prepare me for this opportunity. _ An excerpt: _ My mentors are people who have helped me adopt an entrepreneurial mindset - which has been the key to unlocking a sense of control and direction over my life. Girls - identify people in your world who you admire. Then go and ask them for 15 minutes. And when a girl asks you for 15 minutes, understand the power you have to help her shape her future.  Adopt the practice of reinforcing the women around you. Always find the 15 minutes to support a girl who needs your insights. If we want a future full of female entrepreneurs, we need to build a pipeline from girlhood. _ I’ve saved the talk as a highlight on my profile and it’s linked in my bio - and I invite you watch it and I hope that it can help motivate you to stay driven, ask for help when you need it, and continue to aim higher. I can't wait to see what unfolds for all of us this year! Thank you for being a part of this journey. x @CatherinePDV #tedx #tedxtalk #femaleentrepreneurs #womeninbusiness #educationforall
    • 2019: also the year of wearing very. fun. things. ✨
    • Hi! It’s 2019! I've been pretty focused on school over the past few weeks, so thank you for your patience with my lack of posts. So, catch me up - how are you doing? If the past few weeks are any indication of how the rest of the year will pan out, I'm feeling extremely hopeful. From finishing my MBA at Columbia Business School, to moving and getting married at the end of the year, I'm so excited to see what will unfold in 2019. What’s on your list of intentions for this year? I’d love to hear! I can't wait to see what unfolds for all of us this year. x @CatherinePDV
    • I’ve spent the past few days at home with my family and tomorrow and heading back to New York City. I’m so grateful for these quiet days, it was the perfect chance to reflect on 2018 and think about what’s ahead in 2019. I’m not the biggest fan of new year’s resolutions, but I definitely love a list of new goals! #holidaystyle
    • Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas! #holidaystyle
    • Ok so this is *not* my dog (I wish!) but this *is* definitely how excited and happy I am to be wrapping up my 4th of 5 @columbia_biz terms and heading into the holidays with my family! What’s on your schedule for the holidays? Tag someone you’re this excited to spend the holidays with! ✨🍾 🎄#holidaystyle 📷: @lydiahudgensphoto
    • One of my favorite questions I’m asked about my work with emerging luxury fashion designers is, “How do you find the designers?” My answer is often, “@Instagram!” but it is also a mix of introductions (like it was with @ValerieGarmino who designed this coat I’m wearing), and discoveries during fashion week. However we are connected, the number one quality I look for is passion paired with a love for quality.

    • This is my absolute favorite time of year. Even though it's incredibly busy (I'm currently in a weeklong course on Executive Leadership!), there is such a positive energy in New York City that it always brings me back to my earliest days here. I had big dreams then, and today it really feels like it's finally home. Kind of the same feeling as settling in to your personal style...which I continue to do thanks to @SarahAlexandraShirts. #holidaystyle #sarahalexandrashirts #sponsored
