Q: How did you fall in love with fashion?
A: My love of fashion definitely came from my mother and grandmother. We spent a lot of time traveling and visiting boutiques when I was younger. They taught me to shop for fewer, better-quality pieces. It taught me to invest in that one great bag, coat, or shoe that you'll treasure and actually wear.
Q: What's the best piece of style advice you've ever gotten?
A: Wear what you love, not what anyone else thinks you should be wearing.
Q: What trends are you eyeing this year?
A: I've been really trying to move away from "trends" and lean into what feels great to wear in my real life. I spent a lot of time chasing trends, but after a while, you start to find what works for you. Now it's more about collecting the best versions of those closet staples.

Q: Do you have any style inspirations?
A: I've been looking back at 90's fashion a lot lately. Everything was simplified: denim, a great white tee, oversized blazers, and slip dresses. I love that "undone" but pulled-together look.
