If you could raid anyone’s closet who would it be?
I am completely obsessed with everything and anything Janice Joostema puts on her body. I would love to own all the outfits she wears.
What is the most worn item in your closet?
I would definitely go with a fitted blazer. It dresses up any look and also completes an outfit.
How do you feel about fashion trends and are there any fashion trends become staples in your personal style?
I am not someone who tends to follow trends in general. There are definitely ones that I gravitate more towards. However, I take inspiration from trends and turn them into my own, adding my personal touch to each look.
How would you describe your personal style?
I love to describe myself as hobo chic haha. I absolutely adore wearing dresses and fancy outfits but street style definitely runs through my blood. I love a good jogger set.
How did you develop your personal style?
My personal style is derived mostly from feeling confident and comfortable. I do take inspiration from other bloggers, boutiques and Pinterest (of course) but I always try to add my own touch to each look to stay unique.
If you could go back in time and tell your past self DON’T WEAR THAT! Describe which outfit that would be.
In my younger “party” days, I thought showing more skin was sexier (short dresses, showing cleavage, etc). As I got older, I realized that leaving body parts to the imagination was indeed sexier. I prefer wearing outfits that hug and accentuate my curves, rather then showing them.
How do you feel about luxury fashion?
I love luxury fashion just as much as the next woman, but I try to make my affordable style look more expensive by adding accessories and dressing up my outfit. A basic look can be heightened by just adding a cute handbag, simple statement jewelry pieces or a killer pair of heels. Also, less is always more.
What are three must have accessories you think that every girl should own?
Classic hoop earrings
A link chain necklace
Tennis bracelet (for fancier outfits)
I prefer cold pieces to silver.

Do you have any fashion rules when putting an outfit together?
When I put an outfit together, I prefer sticking to neutrals. Neutral staple pieces (to me) always look more expensive when putting an outfit together. If I add color into an outfit, I stick with one color and make that the focus of my outfit. When adding accessories, I always make sure to not over do it and keep it classy. Sometimes I even remove one piece before walking out the door.
