Which e-commerce site shows up most in your Internet history?
"Net-A-Porter and eBay. Talk about the two ends of the spectrum!"

What's the best store to find a truly awesome housewarming gift?
"The Future Perfect or John Derian...they're both pretty perfect."

What's your favorite big department store? What's your hidden-secret shopping spot?
"Bergdorf Goodman is pretty dreamy but I also love a good cruise through Target, so I can't decide. As for a secret shopping spot, probably my favorite Salvation Army on Long Island that I've been going to for years. I've found Chanel there, so I know it's possible."

Where do you shop for the most bang for your buck?
"Again, eBay and Housing Works are great for really high-quality second-hand pieces. I'm definitely not afraid of something that's been broken in a bit. I also love Opening Ceremony at sale time...it's truly a goldmine."

Which is the best city in the world to shop?
"Paris or London. I used to love shopping in NYC but it's gotten too crowded....walking down Broadway in Soho on a Saturday gives me heart palpitations."

If you had to guess, which store is the majority of your closet from?
"It would be a three-way tie between Acne, Zara, and eBay...together, they are the perfect CB mix."

Zara Waistcoat with Combined Lapel, $129, available at Zara; Donna Wilson Nos Da Blanket and Throw, $315, available at The Future Perfect; Acne Tess Nubuck Ankle Boots, $620, available at Net-A-Porter.
