Lately, I have been getting a lot of questions regarding my own sense of style and so I thought I'd take it upon myself to answer some of your questions. I'm no pro, but I just have an opinion like everyone else - and mine happens to be stronger in fashion, since, well, I'm obsessed.
What’s the inspiration behind your own look?
My own look draws from a number of influences – and the fun thing about being into fashion is never having to stick to one specific style. I have done everything from the chic, business look one day to the bohemian free-spirited look the next. I love living in big cities and finding influential avenues there – the culture within the city, the people who populate the city, the look and feel of the city, the weather, the mood, everything has an effect on me and in turn, gives me the inspiration for what I feel like wearing.
What was the first designer item you bought or wore?
I feel like I had worn or purchased something before this, but my first actual memory of buying a designer item on my own was my first pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I bought black, suede Mary-Jane 6” heels in early 2009. To this day, I will not tell my parents what the price tag was.
Who were some of your favorite designers growing up? What about now?
Growing up, I could never afford designer clothes and it wasn’t until the summer before I entered fashion school that I really zoomed in on the fashion scene. I was always a fan of what celebrities were wearing and would say “I like that. Who made it?” Now, I am much more well-versed in designers and some of my favorites are as follows: Halston, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Chloe, Derek Lam, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, Dolce & Gabbana, Zac Posen, Chanel, Helmut Lang, and YSL – to name a few. I love shoes by Louboutin, Zanotti, Alaia, Maison Martin Margiela, and YSL.
What are some items you can’t live without?
A pair of tan heels, black heels, nail polish, my Bond No. 9 perfume collection, and a ring that I have that says “Nothing is Impossible.” I wear it every day and never take it off.
Where do you shop most in SF?
LF Store on Union Street, Barneys, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, H & M, Ambiance, and vintage stores on Haight Street.
Is there an item you are currently coveting?
Not an item so much as an entire line. The Dolce & Gabbana RTW Spring 2011 line. It’s all white, black, and leopard and I’m thoroughly obsessed.
What trends are you into this season?
Believe it or not, I like the denim tops. The ironic thing about this is I never wear jean pants, or denim in general, except shorts. All of my friends know this and consequently, threw an all-denim party for my 27th birthday. Also – I am LOVING the combat boot. It’s to die for but not everyone can pull it off. It completely illustrates the relaxed fashion sense of California.
Any trends you wish would just disappear?
Uggs. They should only be worn around the house – and NO WHERE else!
What’s something every woman should have in her closet?
A fitted blazer, a piece of leopard print clothing, and a LBD.
Finish this sentence: I never leave the house without ….
Perfume, my Blackberry, or a pair of heels, unless I’m going to the gym. Seriously, I hate flats, if they’re not the combat boots that are in right now.
