What gets the most rotation in your work wardrobe? What piece should every working girl own?
"An Indian-style silk kaftan: It's fashionable in its fabrication, conservative in silhouette, relevant to my work environment, and easily dresses up with bangles and earrings."
The number one thing every working girl needs in her wardrobe is a fitted suit jacket, worn with a pair of black-sole pumps (or Christian Louboutin red sole pumps, if you can afford them), and a statement jewelry piece that sets you apart from the rest."

What's the top item on your shopping list right now? Any spring trends you're looking forward to?
"I have my eye on a Michele Signature Deco Diamond watch— however, I’m leaving this purchasing option up to my chef fiancé (hint!). And for spring trends, I’m in love with the new checkerboard prints from the Louis Vuitton spring '13 collection. I'm also looking forward to spring and summer because I heard the '60s, stripes, Asian-inspired prints, and checked patterns are going to be the stunning styles."

Where do you shop for work clothes in the DMV?
"I am a huge boutique fan, and when I can’t get to my favorite San Francisco boutique, Ambiance, or to Soho, I like shopping at Zara, Benetton, Mango, and the U Street corridor boutiques, such as Redeem. And any vintage shops or luxury retailers in between."
