Opening Statement
Gloss Briefing is your weekly memo for confidence, power moves, and building a life that feels as good as it looks, written from the desk (or vanity) of a lawyer-model living in Manhattan.
I’m Alyssa, a NYC-based attorney, signed model, and content creator who, true to my Gemini nature, believes in duality: brains and beauty, hustle and highlighter, ambition and aesthetics. Gloss Briefing was born from a simple truth: that confidence isn’t found, but built, layer by layer, like a perfect makeup routine or a killer résumé.
Every Monday, I send out a curated note to the well-glossed:
The Exhibits: A mood board meets manifesto.
The Gloss Docket: Beauty and fashion selects for living like the lead, not an extra
The Testimony: Lifestyle and mindset insights from a woman navigating courtrooms, castings, and content creation
The Closing Argument: Confidence tools that add a glossy finish to your life—more than just looking the part
Whether you’re scaling the corporate ladder, creating your own lane, or just trying to show up a little more like her every day, you’re exactly where you belong.
Gloss isn’t just a look—it’s a lens. This is your weekly reminder that life is supposed to look and feel radiant, powerful, and yours.
Thanks for being here. Now let’s gloss.
xo,
Alyssa
