I was born…
on Christmas Day.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the friends we’ve made here and the weather of course!
I’m listening to…
Bruce Springsteen radio on Pandora.
My family…
is a gift.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my Father. It’s been five years and I still miss the sound of his laughter, his words of encouragement and opinions on all things.
One thing I cannot live without…
possibilities.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a successful business owner or a fashion designer.
I’m inspired by…
people who strive to be a little bit better every day, are fair and kind to others and act with integrity. My husband embodies all of these qualities and he inspires me every day.
The one person who motivates me is…
myself. My drive has always come from within.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
the aging process.
The perfect day would be…
one that begins with a hug and kiss (and grande non-fat chai latte) from my husband, has some hot yoga or a run and a blow-out thrown in, involves a busy day at the boutique where I meet and assist lovely new clients and consignors and ends with dinner out with my husband and great friends, a Cosmo and robust conversation.
My first job was…
babysitter, telephone operator, hostess….too many to list. I have always worked multiple jobs.
My favorite escape…
Paris, jogging, hot yoga, watching movies in our media room and listening to music.
My life…
is an adventure and the journey so far has been more rewarding than anything I’ve ever dreamed of.
I’m currently working on…
making our new boutique To Be Continued….the go-to place for local and international fashionistas.
Always…
ask “Why not?”….then, go for it!
Never…
let your fears limit you.
Favorite Quote…
“Life is a party, dress like it.” Lilly Pulitzer
Biggest Dream…
to inspire women of all ages, sizes and socio-economic backgrounds to dress for the life they want to live, express their individuality through their clothing and provide them with a place where they can find beautiful and unique pieces sourced from closets around the world…This dream is coming to life at To Be Continued…!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
being talked down to.
