“Growing up, I never had to look far for fashion inspiration: my grandmother, Beverly, has always been the most impeccably well-dressed woman I know; her attire fits, whatever she has on her schedule. If it’s a lady’s lunch, she looks the part in a pantsuit with a scarf around her neck and matching shoes. Days spent on the farm with her horses call for jeans, a button-down and cowboy boots. I remember walking into her closet and running my hands against the fabrics of what seemed like endless gowns and cases of jewelry – a vintage designer haven. I think it’s safe to say that’s where my love for the finer things comes from!

“I started working in retail when I was in college and found that I loved connecting with the people who came into the store almost as much as I loved the clothing. Helping women feel confident and having them trust in me has been so gratifying over the years, and I wanted to take what I was doing to the next level, helping more clients with even more fabulous products. That’s why I pursued a career in personal shopping.

“My style is feminine with some edge, but very much dependent on my mood. It can be quite whimsical, when I’m wearing a LoveShackFancy mini dress to a brunch, for example; or it can be more sophisticated when I go to a dinner, wearing my favorite straight-leg blue jeans, a silk blouse, navy blazer and strappy kitten heels with lots of gold jewelry. My style has simplified due to the pandemic: most days, when I leave the apartment, I either wear a dress or try to find new ways to style denim with a cropped jacket, or a shoe with a pop of color.”
