“Like most ladies, I have a HUGE shoe collection and these are just a few of my favs.” {Front} Irregular Choice (Teal bow heels), Vince V Camuto, H by Halston, Jessica Simpson. {Back Row} Boutique in Italy, Steve Madden, BCBG, Steve Madden
“I am huge on accessorizing and what better way than with these lovely jewels. Cocktail rings are one of my favs and I am really obsessed with gold right now. My collection of jewelry comes from my grandmother, cheap accessory stores, Anthropologie, J. Crew, Nordstrom and antique shops. My favorite cocktail ring is a HUGE one I got from Haute Bride.”
What do you love most about your job?
I honestly love being a part of a couples’ big day. I have become friends with so many of them, and we still keep in contact.
Does your taste change and/or expand often? What are your preferred color palettes or décor schemes?
I would say my taste never changes; I always have the same design aesthetic. My favorite color palettes and décor schemes are always changing. I really love so many, but most of all I just like fresh unique palettes and ideas.
What are some of your biggest sources of inspiration?
I draw inspiration literally everywhere. I have a constant list and photo folder on my iPhone where I save pictures. I take pictures of inspiration in hardware stores, fashion, restaurants, or in nature. Sometimes it even surprises me where I find inspiration.
“Vintage luggage has a place in my heart because it all tells a story, and stacking it can make for a great furniture piece. I have them in my living room, as well as an old wooden food box to hold magazines.” Erin in a Marc Jacobs rust orange top, Teal Forever 21 necklace, Alice + Olivia black and cream shorts.
“A little quote I found on Pinterest, typed up, and framed. Glass cloche encasing a succulent and a purple dahlia are the first thing you see when you enter the front door of my home. My hubs and I want everyone who comes over to feel at home. Our house is always open to friends and family. We love entertaining!”
