TikTok or IG? IG but damn do I spend a lot of my time on Tik Tok - prefer posting on IG but Tik Tok for mindless scrolling

Favorite outfit you ever wore? Truly impossible. In it’s time, everything felt right, but if I could rip off some of the chokers I wore in college I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Favorite vintage designers? Anything Thierry Mugler, love vintage Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford for Gucci era, vintage Versace is also a work of art.

Biggest fashion pet peeve? Oof this is hard, I feel like fashion is so personal so something that I might not resonate with may be someone else’s favorite thing. I feel like as long as you are expressing yourself versus trying to conform to someone else’s viewpoint of style, then you’re doing it right!

Favorite celeb red carpet look? Really hard to pick just one, but truly anything Zendaya puts on her body. She really radiates confidence and it extends to the clothing she wears.

Describe your perfect date? So there’s two types: Trying a new cocktail spot then restaurant and strolling the street to live music or a comedy show somewhere……or my Sunday Hillstone routine where we walk there, sit at the bar and do the Sunday crossword together over a good meal and a glass of wine.

Are you a black cat or a golden retriever? Black Cat, my boyfriends role is golden retriever, I’m meant to be a little bitchy

Are you a Barbie, Bratz, Polly Pocket or American Girl Doll? Ooooo this is a toughie, I might let the co-workers decide my fate!
