My style is show up and bring it. Mix vintage with couture, take risks with confidence, and always stay authentically me.

What makes your style stand out?
My style? I layer textures like I'm painting: shimmer over matte, different beige tones creating depth. Perfect fit is non-negotiable. I won't wear what doesn't work on my body. I'm not fashion's slave. I have the eye to spot a vintage piece that'll make the whole look. Bold colors when I want fearless fun. Minimal makeup, so a red lip or statement earring does the ta[lking!
What’s your dream fashion moment?
An effortless red carpet moment where I'm wearing something that photographs beautifully and feels authentically me. Not trying to fit a trend but having my personal aesthetic be the story.
What would you do with $20,000?
I'd create reinvention retreats intensive weekends for women pivoting careers, reentering dating or rebuilding after major life changes. From boardroom authority to first date energy, your style choices either support or sabotage your goals. I'd show women how to dress for the life they want ---not the one they're settling for. As someone who coaches business, dating, and style, I know these areas are connected.
