What's your favorite piece in your closet right now?
"A tie between my vintage Mickey Mouse rain poncho and a lovely printed '40s sheer silk dress I picked up while vintage shopping in San Francisco."

What was your most recent purchase?
"Vintage YSL chocolate suede wedges."

What's your number-one trick for incorporating vintage pieces into a modern, contemporary wardrobe?
"Don't go vintage all the way in one outfit — start with accessories. Most contemporary pieces are based on vintage styles of yore anyway, so look for things that fit your aesthetic and align with what you are already into."
