What gets you most excited about fall? Any trends you're looking forward
to wearing?
"The opportunity to layer and add even more boots to my collection!
Nicole and I are loving tonal color-blocking and are obsessed with oxblood
and navy for fall."
If you had to wear one outfit forever, what would it be?
"I would choose a long floral dress with my Balmain leather jacket and the Suki lace up
bootie."
What's your favorite comfy-chic ensemble?
"Jeans, a cozy knit sweater, and the Sydney boot."
How would you characterize your NYC style (versus L.A.)?
"Peacoats, more tailored pieces, and menswear-inspired outfits in the East, and motorcycle jackets and flowy, feminine dresses in the West."
What's one pair of shoes you couldn't live without?
"The Mia! I love the height."
How do you cope with the stress of Fashion Week?
"I am hard at work on my show Hart of Dixie, so I can’t even get to Fashion
Week this season. I always find the best way to combat stress is to take time to hang out with
my family — my little sisters always put everything in perspective. Also, eating healthy always improves things! My current obsession is Pressed Juicery."
Do you have any guilty pleasures like bad TV or Hostess cupcakes?
"I will definitely indulge in some peanut butter cookies from Lark Cake Shop."
What do you wear when you know it's going to be a long day and a late
night?
"If I know I have meetings and am heading straight out afterwards, I love a flowy bright top, a great pant, and a bold statement shoe. You can always cover up with a textured blazer if it gets chilly."
Which shows are you particularly sad to miss at NYFW?
"If I could be there, I would love to see 3.1 Phillip Lim, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, and Prabal Gurung."
