  • My staple clothing item is… a denim jacket. I always bring it with me to add to my outfit or in case it gets a little breezy at night but not cold enough for a leather jacket. I’ve put pins on it that i’ve collected over the years and it’s become my favorite piece in my closet.
  • I would never leave home without… Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe and rose water. It’s a perfect spritzer to reset your makeup or to get that fresh feeling at any time. I usually spray my face with this on my lunch or before meeting a friend for happy hour after work.
