Name one thing you love most about being a woman?
Fashion, strength, resilience… Never thought about this one.

What moment or event made you think life would never be the same?
Losing my mom. She was my best friend, the sister I never had and one in whom I could count on good solid insight.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?
I block out the noise, create my “Zen” space, pray and reflect.

What would you do if you had the whole day to yourself?
I do it every year for my birthday. I check into the spa at the time I would normally go to work and spend the entire day. I come out like a wet noodle… Super relaxed!

What is your favorite piece of clothing and why?
It is hard to say as it changes with my mood. I like striking, comfortable, flowy pieces that just go with you! That is why I enjoy Alembika so much. Easy, striking, low maintenance and always fabulous! Last weekend, I was in a restaurant in Florida. I was wearing my dolman sleeve top with the striped patch pants. A random woman walked up to me and said I was beautiful and kissed me on my forehead… In a pandemic… Not sure how I feel about that but the outfit was too cute!
