What is your favorite thing about being a part of the fashion industry?
The fashion industry has become a platform for me to express myself creatively and tell a story whether it is a simple earring or a whole ensemble of accessories.

What is currently your favorite item in your closet?
I am in love with my WildFox Sparkle Heart Sweater a good friend gave me for the holidays.

When all else fails, what item is your “go-to” item for a chic look?
Love great fitted jeans, t-shirt, fitted leather jacket and statement necklace! I find I am going to it a bit too often.

What is your favorite piece from your current collection?
Any one of the Halo bracelets is a staple in my outfit, and right now I am loving the ones from the Electro Color Collection with their vibrancy and pop of color.

Why do you LOVE Chicago?
The city gives off an electricity that is infectious and inspiring.

What do you think makes Chicago style different from any other city, or is it?
Chicago has a great balance of fashion that I think makes us unique. Women and Men here love to dress to go out and look amazing and there is always a sense of casual fun fashion at Sunday brunch!

Where is your favorite place to eat/drink/play in Chicago?
Drinks…Nomi,
Play...Paris Studio, and
Eat…easy Portillo’s! Is there anywhere else? 

What is your current obsession? (fashion or non-fashion)
OBSESSED with Chelsea Handler, but isn’t everybody? Revenge is a must see. My teenage son Kenton and time with my hubby!

iPhone or Blackberry?

Favorite Fashion moment?
My wedding day. Where else can you get so many compliments on one outfit and feel fabulous?

Which fashion trend do you wish would go away forever or never come back?
The scrunchi, herringbone necklaces and harem pants. Just stop.
