What's your dressing philosophy/how do you pick out your outfit each day?
The devil is in the details: Finn or Ruby Kobo Jewelry always add character to an outfit, as does the perfect bag or shoes.  It's all about fit, so I dress for my body type and don't worry about chasing the trends of the moment. I think my style is changing a lot recently."

  "I think when I first got to New York I was enamored with that dark look — I wore a lot of black, and grey, and blue, and navy, and I thought that looked really cool. For me it was all about layering different textures. That's what I thought that was really interesting and now I'm a lot more into the colors and patterns. I like a lot of the fashion coming out of London, like Mary Katrantzou.  I think some of the patterns that have come down the runways recently at Prada and Givenchy really remind me to not take myself so seriously."
