Who is your style icon and why?
Reese Witherspoon tends to always look fabulous
on and off the big screen. Reese is a down-to-earth while remaining elegant and classy is her style. Her
outfits are always prim and proper. She always looks mature and refined while at the same time never forgetting she's
young and sexy. I love her look.
What
is your dream purchase for summer?
A wedding dress.
What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe?
Uggs - If it were winter all year long, I could wear Uggs everyday.
If you could own the wardrobe of any film or t.v. character, whose would it
be?
I absolutely would love to wear one of the 60 gowns that Kirsten Dunst wore in Marie Antoinette.
The costumes in Marie-Antoinette were designed by Milena
Canonero and they are breath taking.
The ultimate accessory is...
I
would have to say that I am a sucker for earrings. I love to have earrings that match my daily outfits.
