Describe your look: Dressy, simple and effortless.

What do you consider a fashion don’t? Never let your clothes enter the room before you do! Also, dressing age-appropriate is paramount to building your look.

What is your favorite piece of clothing and why? I think of my clothing as a collection. Wardrobe pieces that are “go-to” items are a must, such as a great scarf to pull my look together. And sometimes, it’s as easy as a great pair of shoes to rock the look!

What do you consider a must-have accessory? My ears! When I listen, I can hear what my client needs. A great attitude and great customer service trumps even the best outfit.

What is a fashion crime you have committed in the past? Not dressing for the clients I’m with.

Where are your favorite places to shop? I love to shop at neighborhood boutiques throughout the city and northwest suburbs. Starr Couture on Main Street in Barrington is my all-time favorite! Having a fashion coordinator who knows you is worth a million dollars.

What, besides your wardrobe, completes your look? My sense of humor and my desire to connect with people.
