What are you wearing? I’m always
wearing 7 jeans. These I got at Rear
Ends in West Bloomfield, and they
are my absolute favorite brand of
jeans. They fit me well and I feel
comfortable in them. I think because e
I am little and they fit smaller people e
well, they’re just a great brand for
me. My sweater is 360 Cashmere and
d
my jacket is Illia. Both are from SHE
in Bloomfield Hills. This jacket is my y
staple. I have it in black, beige, navy —
really, all the colors. It’s one of my favorite
vorite
pieces because I can just throw it on
n when I
can’t decide what to wear — when I’m
m going
to work, when I’m going to dinner with
ith friends
or just whenever. Same thing with my Veronica
Beard blazers. I have a few of them, and I can just
zip the dickey in and out. These shoes
es are Matt
Bernson; I ordered them on Zappos. I also wear my
Nike wedges a lot. At work, I’m always
ys running, so
my shoes have to be comfortable. My y jewelry is Liz
Guz and Michelle Morocco. I like supporting
pporting small
businesses, and they’re always doing g trunk shows
at some of my favorite places to shop
p like Rear
Ends and SHE.

Describe your style: I don’t know if I really have
a particular style. I think I would describe
scribe it as a
mish-mash of everything or of what I know I like.
For instance, I love to go into stores and browse
and see what they’re showing for the e season. I
don’t think I am trendy, really, but I know what I

bought some Spiritual Gangster

price of the adult ones and I am
small enough to do that!

What inspires you? That’s a
good question! I think what
inspires me is shopping! Usually
I I’ll see something I like, and that’ll
just be it. I like to see what the sales-
people in my favorite stores are wearing, too.
