What are your closet essentials?

A midi skirt, a wrap dress, a robe, a man’s overcoat, a long jacket or blazer, and some sort of man repelling shoe.

What is your biggest fashion regret?

Honestly, none. I have truly embraced all the trends since I was a teenager. I went from my punk red hair days, wearing Buffalo platform sneakers with oversized pants in my teens – to my cheesy Ugg boots and mini skirts, Frankie B 1 inch jeans, oversized belts, and jersey dresses, days while I was at Pepperdine – to anything else you can imagine in between. In a way, I think my curiosity for trends, as horrible results as it may have had, is one of the things that gives me an edge in my job in the industry.

You always splurge on, and you always save on…

Splurge on good coats and anything Celine by Phoebe Philo. Save on easy wrap summer dresses and 2nd hand Manolos from The Real Real (a true current obsession).

What is one piece of clothing you wish you could steal from your 16 year old self?

One of my first designer purchases was this huge Dolce and Gabbana western embroidered and bejewelled belt. It was so Latin and over the top, but so major at the same time. I really wish I knew where it ended up!

What inspires your style most?

I would say on one hand that colours really inspire me. I have this weird infatuation with the way colours make us feel, and with their combinations. This is why you rarely see me wearing black – I find it so not exciting! On the other hand, people inspire me a lot. I have the most stylish friends, mostly from Mexico City, to Paris and New York. I love seeing how they put things together, mixing artisanal pieces, new and classic designers as well as vintage. They definitely keep me on my toes.

Have fun with it; life is too short to wear boring clothes.
