Who is your fashion inspiration?

It would be impossible to narrow it down to just one person. I draw my inspiration from the places I go, the people I meet and the environment I am surrounded in. All those things in addition to other fashion blogs like mine.

What is your favourite place to shop?

I'd be entirely happy having a wardrobe consisting of only pieces from Barney's. Knowing that I need to mix it up and incorporate less expensive pieces, I routinely go to net-a-porter.com and stop by Forever 21.

What is your current favourite fashion trend?

I'm really loving sequins right now for both day and evening looks. It really adds that pop of something special and can kick an outfit up a notch. I'm not sure how much longer sequins will be on trend, so for now I'm wearing them like it's my job.

What is the current trend you dislike the most?

The harem pant is probably the trend I like the least right now. I prefer a more tailored and body-conscious look such as trousers or leggings, and a harem pant doesn't flatter my figure the way I want a pant to.

Why did you start your blog?

I started my blog to express myself and showcase my style. I actually think that seeing my outfits in pictures has helped me to see what works together more so than a full-length mirror, so my style has improved in certain ways. I'm really happy I started it and would recommend it to anyone who is interested.

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as modern, fresh and always changing.

What is one thing you are dying to buy this fall?

I'm dying over shearling right now. A great shearling coat or even shearling-lined booties would be a great addition to my wardrobe right about now, especially because I'll be spending the fall in London.

What is the most expensive thing you have bought?

I have a pavé diamond Michele watch which I wear all the time, plus it keeps me on track throughout the day!

What is the least expensive thing you have bought?

I'm a big fan of having an assortment of jewelry to pick from and especially because I'm traveling a lot and living in dorm rooms, I don't like to keep too many expensive items around (besides my watch). For this reason I buy tons of rings from Forever 21 and H&M for about 2 dollars each so if I lose one it's not the end of the world.

What is one thing that you regret buying?

I'm not a quick decision maker, so I don't usually buy too many impulse items. Having said that, there have been a few times when I wish I had bought a different size or a different color. Sometimes after wearing a pair of shoes once or twice I wish I had opted for a half size up, or when my jeans stretch out more than I thought they would I wish I had gone a size down.

If you could meet one person from the fashion industry/a fashion icon who would it be?

I'd love to meet Rachel Zoe. Not only do I think she has great fashion sense, but I watch her show religiously and can't help but find her and Brad wickedly funny.

What is your favourite vacation destination?

I've been to Tokyo twice and would go back in a heartbeat. There is something about the crazy fashion, amazing food and abundance of things to do that make it impossible for me to get enough.
