Who have you worked with and/or worked for? Who would you like to work with and/or work for?
I have worked for Gap, Women's Closet Exchange in StL. Swank, Blackberry Exchange, The Dance Closet. I'd love to work with a professional merchandizer. I everything I've learn by way of merchandising is self-tot so it'd be great to have some back up in that area.
What was your motivation behind starting your blog, business, career, etc.?
To bring something new and interesting to Columbia. Some place that I would enjoy going to and shopping.
How do you balance your business and personal life?
Right now, my business is my personal life. And I'm okay with that because we are so new I need to make sure this is going great. Also so many of my customer I would know considered my friends. It's a great thing to go into work and deal with friends all day.
How would you describe your overall style?
I'm into the roll out of bed rocker feel. So anything black and anything leather
What are your staple items?
Heels (just all of them), silver cross ring, Oversized top, tight pants or skirt.
If you had to pick 1 item from your closet to describe you as a person, what would it be?
My silver cross ring. I wear it all the time, got it in the Lou from The Silver Lady. It's half rocker, looks vintage, and half totally true. I teach Sunday
Name your favorite pair of shoes.
I have a pair of Miu Miu's platform heels that are killer. They are brown and red though and I don't wear much brown. I also have THE Manolo suede Mary-Janes, that I'll never wear. I just like looking at them.
Well Balmin is ideal. Rocker without trying. But I have a weird soft spot for St John. Old lady chic
What is your favorite season to shop for?
FALL! Sweaters, boots, layering.
Do you prefer couture or ready to wear pieces? Why?
Well couture of course. One of a kind is always the way to do it. I'm also very into taking on the challenge of taking that one piece that people think they can't (or wouldn't) wear in public and making it totally wearable.
Do you prefer modern or vintage styles? Why?
Vintage. Again with the one of a kind. Love it
What is your favorite fashion publication? Why?
Lucky Mag. I know I should say W but Lucky is a shoppers magazine and thats what I am.
Where is your favorite place to shop?
Muse Clothing, Goodwill
If you could shop anywhere, where would it be?
A thrift store in Milan.
What career advice do you have for TheeFashionStories readers?
Do what it is you love and do it a lot.
