What is the greatest source of style inspiration for you?
"I'm always inspired by new things (not necessarily the newest things). French, Italian, and Japanese women combine the trend of moment with timeless pieces creating a unique perspective– allowing their distinct personalities to shine though. That is inspirational."

What are three go-to pieces from your closet that you couldn't live without?
"J Brand skinny jeans (can't seem to find a better fit for me), Alaia black leather ankle boots with all-over eyelet detailing and T-shirts from my favorite rock-n-roll shows (like fragrances, they tend to take me back to the moments I won't soon forget)."

On Mercedes: Rag & Bone blazer, Rick Owens ribbed tank top, Chrome Hearts leather leggings, Hermes Collier De Chien cuff bracelet, Christian Louboutin Astroid spiked toe pump with snakeskin and crystal, NARS Schiap lipstick, Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Moist Glow in Pravella, Mac Buff power blush, YSL Singulier black mascara.
