What makes your style stand out?

I am not afraid to integrate unexpected textures, patterns, or pops of color. My style includes clever twists like a bold shoe with a neutral outfit or a whimsical scarf that adds personality without overpowering. I dress with intention; I try to match the emotional tone of an event or moment; my style is unpredictable but always me.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

Driving the Amalfi Coast in a vintage convertible, the sea sparkling below. I channel Grace Kelly not just her style, but her poise, quiet glamour, and timeless grace. I wear a 1950s dress in ivory silk, cinched at the waist with old-world femininity. The skirt billows in the breeze, echoing the rhythm of the waves below. My oversized sunglasses shield my eyes, but not my spirit, they’re bold, black, and unapologetically chic as a long chiffon scarf trails behind me, dancing in the wind.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would help breathe new life into two heritage brands, Da Vinci California and The Original Chelsea Boot 1851 Company recently inherited by my best friend, a brilliant designer whose talent has long gone unrecognized. As COO, I’d use the funds to revamp branding, elevate digital presence, and honor the legacy of craftsmanship while ushering in a bold, modern chapter. This is more than business; it’s about giving a visionary her rightful spotlight and building something timeless together.
