What are some accessories that every gal should own to complement a variety of ensembles?
"A pair of black non-platform pumps, a simple designer belt, and a piece of simple, yet personal jewelry. These items pretty much go with anything. I love designer belts from Ralph Lauren, Gucci, and Hermes. I am not big on luxury logos, but I wear my black Gucci belt all the time and it takes jeans and a T-shirt to another level."

We know you have an affinity for C/FAN, since you have a recent design collab, but what other local designers do you admire?
"I have such a great relationship with Christina and the C/FAN girls that is based off of admiration and respect. I feel the same way about Jules Vance of jules jewelry. Those are two amazing women, let me tell you. I am lucky to have gotten to know them and include them among my friends. They are so creative and push themselves to do something meaningful every season that tells a story. How can you not love a piece that tells a great story? The best part is when they give me sneak peeks into future collections or concepts, I get giddy. Their creativity is inspiring."
