How would you describe your personal style?
My style usually revolves around late 1950's to early 1960's. Although, I'm a chameleon and influences in style change often. I'm always intertwining eras, patterns, colors and shapes. My ideas range from favourite shows (Pushing Daisies), movie stars (Katherine Hepburn), and music (Buddy Holly). Right now, my grandmother's style in the 60's in my biggest inspiration. I know I'm getting it right when she tells me she had something just like that when she was younger.

What are you wearing today?
The sweater is from Old Navy. I bought it ages ago and it has to be the one thing that I constantly have to stitch together from using it so much. The dress is from H&M, my one indulgence when I visit my sister in New York. The shoes are from Marshal's. You can find me there once a week scanning the racks like a mad woman. Recently, I found a DKNY skirt and I practically fainted.
