What actress would play you in a movie? Meghan Markle. She carries herself with such elegance and grace. She is a role model to so many women by encouraging them to stand up for themselves and not letting society mold you into a version of yourself you’re not comfortable with. I love her and Harry as a power couple, too.

Who from history would you want to travel with? Princess Diana. She traveled all over the world and had such a likeability about her that I can only imagine she made for a fantastic travel partner. She wasn’t afraid to take risks as was seen in 1997 when she walked through an active landmine field in Angola to call for an international ban on landmines.

Where do you look for inspiration? There’s a quote by Coco Chanel that I embody, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” You never know where inspiration will strike.

Favorite book? The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I read it in high school, and it changed my life. It’s the most American of stories, the tale of self-made success dripping in the peak of the Roaring ’20s, what’s not to love?

Most beloved cookbook? I get a lot of my recipes from Pinterest. I have a whole board dedicated to the ones I want to make and ones I have made. It’s a great way to keep all my recipes in one place. I have an air fryer and let me tell you, Pinterest has been a game changer for my meal planning.

Best dinner party hack? I keep a running guest list in my Notes app on my iPhone. I add friends, acquaintances, or anyone I meet who I’d like to attend a dinner party, this way I’m not scrambling to decide who I should invite.

What’s in your bag right now? Wallet, keys (the necessities to leave the house), a sample perfume of Baccarat Rouge 540 (to spritz on the go), YSL Nude Lavalliere (44) lipstick (the perfect hydrating lipstick), AirPod Pros, and a small notebook filled with random to-do lists, ideas that I had while driving, list of wardrobe items in need of replacing (and some that I just want)!

Gadget My AirPod Pros. I’m always listening to music, a podcast, or an audiobook. Scent Baccarat Rouge 540 Barrington spot Angelina’s is my favorite store to shop. I always walk away with something. Then of course Neoteca for a glass of wine, it’s a great spot to meet with friends or for a date night. Hostess gift to receive You can never go wrong with a bottle of wine. If it’s your personal favorite, even better. I love when you get something, and it’s like “I like you enough to share this with you.” Gift to give Anything that has sentimental value to that person. I sent a friend peonies for her birthday after she casually mentioned in conversation that they were her favorite.
