Life According to Birthday Girl Danielle Steel

Queen of the romance novels, Danielle Steel turns 65 today.
by

Queen of the romance novels, Danielle Steel turns 65 today. As the fourth-bestselling author of all time, Danielle has an impressive literary track record, and she definitely knows how to live glamorously — whether she's in France, New York, or San Francisco. The fashionable five-time divorcée is mother to socialites-slash-models Vanessa and Victoria Traina, along with seven additional children, one of whom passed away in 1997. She has had a busy 65 years, to say the least, and, lucky for us, Danielle Steel has given interviews along the way. To learn more about Danielle's views on texting, fame, youthful indiscretions, birthdays, and more, check out some of her best quotes on her life as a romance novelist.

Danielle Steel Owns Over 6,000 Pairs of Christian Louboutin Shoes

In the May issue of Vanity Fair, Christian Louboutin claims his business grew by double digits in 2009 despite his opposition to advertising and marketing.

In the May issue of Vanity Fair, Christian Louboutin claims his business grew by double digits in 2009 despite his opposition to advertising and marketing. He rarely gives away shoes for free, and only a handful of celebrities receive discounts when shopping in his boutiques.

We're guessing Danielle Steel is one of those lucky customers. Louboutin tells the magazine, "She comes to Paris, and she literally buys everything. Then she flies back to New York, says, ‘I’m a little disappointed — there’s nothing in the store,’ and walks out with 80 pairs. She is super.”

Super, indeed, as Steel reportedly owns over 6,000 paris of red-soled Louboutins.

Who Is the Best Dressed Mother/Daughter Combo?

Oh mommy dearest — I once shunned your fashion advice, but now I regularly seek it.

Oh mommy dearest — I once shunned your fashion advice, but now I regularly seek it. As a young lassie, I assumed you knew little about style, but now I realize I learned much of what I know from you. If my endless shopping excursions with mom have helped my personal style and wardrobe, imagine what the splurge-fests for the daughters of Anna Wintour, Carine Roitfeld (Editor of Vogue Paris), Danielle Steel, and Demi Moore have done for them! It's obvious Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Bee Shaffer (Anna's daughter), Rumer Willis, and the Traina sisters (Danielle's kids) have oodles of expensive closets to choose from . . . but it all comes down to personal style. For me, Carine and Julia stand out because of their effortlessly cool Euro vibe. Who is the best dressed mother/daughter combo to you?

Danielle by Danielle Steel

Danielle Steel has sold more than 550 million copies of books in 47 countries and 28 languages, but she's not just a best-selling author.

Danielle Steel has sold more than 550 million copies of books in 47 countries and 28 languages, but she's not just a best-selling author. She's also a mother of nine, a philanthropist and a perfumer. Danielle by Danielle Steel was released a few months ago, but somehow this scent flew under my radar.

Maybe it's because when I imagine Danielle Steel, I picture an older genre, but this scent is pleasantly lighter that I would have expected. The packaging is great, too: I love the innocent light pink contrasted by the delicate-yet-naughty black lace. Much as she does with her novels, Danielle wanted to take her fans on a sexy escape with this fragrance.

This lush blend has notes of greens, mandarin, jasmine, orchid, rose, blue vetiver, amber and cashmere musk. The bottle was carved from heavyweight glass with a faceted cap and dabber—a reflection of Danielle's love of fine crystal.

The collection includes a 3.3-ounce eau de parfum ($39), a 1.7-ounce eau de parfum ($30), a .5 ounce perfume ($100), and a body lotion ($20). For a fun fact about Danielle Steel, read more
