What do you do when you had enough of your daily life?
I enjoy life pretty much all the time. I have a great family and wonderful friends! But I am human so of course I have days that I want to scream:) A nice cup of tea, sour patch kids, some candles and a good movie always help!!
If there was a fire in your house, which three things would you save?
A fire: ahhhh I'd grab my dog, my fish and my photo album!
Which is your favorite garment?
An old vintage sweater my mom gave me years ago. It’s brown and fuzzy and I love it
What was your first job?
My 2 friends and I in high school started a cleaning service, we wanted to be our own boss and pick our hours and stuff!! I have to say for 3 teenage girls never being in the "real world" we did a pretty damn good job.
Which three things do you always carry with you?
I carry lip gloss, my Caudalie Beauty Elixir spray... It is so refreshing to spray on your face during the day, and I guess this is probably what everyone would say but my cell phone
Do you have a hidden talent?
Hidden talent... It wouldn't be hidden if I told you, but yes of course I do- doesn't everyone?!?!
What is the most expensive garment you have in your closet?
Most expensive.. Oh I'd have to say my Prada coat.. I got a few years ago!
What is your relationship with fashion?
My relationship with fashion.. It pretty simple. We get a long for the most part, but I think that's because I listen to a little of what it says but... I do what I feel fits me personally! I'm not trying to be uncomfortable and make statements that aren't me! That's the sexy thing in fashion I think.. Take what's in ("in your own eyes") and be you. Trendy isn't so cute!
