Q&A
How do you start your day off?
With a big glass of lemon water and a probiotic.
You never leave home without…
Cell phone (obviously) and a custom spray I make with colloidal silver, aloe, palo santo and other essential oils. It totally hydrates my skin and wards of germs (and evil spirits) 😉
What are your closet essentials?
Right now, it is a pair of silk jogger style pants that I wear with literally everything from heels to birks… I’ve also fully embraced Harem pants. So…easy black pants and white t-shirts.
What’s going on in the background when you get ready? TV, music, candles, etc…
Music is always in the background.
What is your biggest fashion regret?
I went through a major vintage scarf phase. I wore them on my head and hips. (At the same time) It worked better than this sounds, but it was still bad.
You always splurge on and you always save on…
Sunglasses, handbags and food. I always save on the fashion basics – I find that there are plenty of affordable brands that make good t-shirts and tank tops.
What is one piece of clothing you wish you could steal from your 16 year old self?
Hmmm… nothing? This was totally the days of Abercrombie + Fitch and I rocked it hard. I did have one amazing pair of Levi’s cutoffs that would be amazing to still have.
Your fashion motto is…
Simplicity. My wardrobe is getting more uniform by the day.
Your #1 style tip is…
Know yourself. Style is really about your personal vibe + energy. If you ask yourself- what’s the story you are trying to tell? It probably isn’t to be trendy, generic or cheap.
