What’s a staple item in your wardrobe?

“If you’ve seen me around the halls between my freshman year and now, there’s a good chance I was wearing my high-top sneakers from Veja. These shoes are simple yet they add the perfect final touch to any outfit. I don’t think I’ve ever held onto a pair of shoes longer than my Vejas!”

Who do you look to for style inspiration?

“I definitely look to my mom for style inspiration. I borrow her clothes all the time and I love to emulate her creative and sophisticated style as best as I can.”

What’s your current favorite trend? 

Even though they have been around forever, I love seeing polka dots popping up more and more on my feed. Black, white, or even navy polka dot pieces always catch my attention.

What’s your favorite outfit you’ve worn?

“This summer, I wore one of my all-time favorite outfits to Windy City Smokeout. I paired a blue and white lace tank top with some white linen cargo pants. Both of these items belonged to my mom in her college days.”

What’s an item on your wishlist?

“This summer, I bought a charm necklace from Gorjana that has become my everyday favorite. Right now, I have a pearl charm and an anchor charm, but I would love to add an “A” charm to make it more unique!”

What’s a recent item that you have purchased that you’re excited to wear?

“I can’t wait to wear these new black ankle boots from Stuart Weitzman. They’re The perfect shoe to tie together a cozy holiday outfit.”

What’s an item you can’t live without?

“Whether I’m carrying my pickleball racquets or my studying essentials, I never go anywhere without my Harrods tote bag. I love its unique Toile pattern and coastal colors.”
