Who is your style icon and why? Brig Van Osten of play hair lounge and Holly Gonzales (they both look good in everything they wear)
What is your dream fashion purchase? A Vera Wang wedding dress (when the time is right)
What is the most beloved item in your wardrobe? An antique bracelet that was given to me as a gift
You're spending an afternoon shopping in the city of your choice. What's the city and the itinerary? Well my next stop is Croatia and I will probably be so busy enjoying and being inspired by the people, the culture and natural beauty of the area that photography, writing and meditation will take precedent over shopping (but that's just me).
If you could own the wardrobe of any film or t.v. character, whose would it be? Hmmm...anyone really so I could auction it all off and then give the money to charity. (Editor's note: See Clothes Off Our Back for charity auctions of clothing worn by celebrities.)
The ultimate accessory is... my powerbook MAC
Anything else you'd like to add? The world is changing and its up to us to play an active role in it. If we passively live our lives, the universe will act accordingly. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world” (Gandhi) and allow your work to reflect that change from eco-friendly materials to products and brands that relay positive messages. I wish upon anyone and everyone that they find their abundant life! Peace. Love. Joy.
