Personal style: My style changes with my mood and weather. But usually 70s chic with a hint of wanna-be Parisian.
All time favorite clothing item: Black turtleneck ribbed tank. It's a staple item in my closet and it goes with practically everything and fits any style.
Trend worth bringing back: 90s Versace Over the Top Pieces.
Fun fact: I am a grand-aunt already.
Remember the Coastal Grandmother? Somewhere in Nantucket, she lies, adjacent to a shingled summer home, in a muted tone tomb. May she rest in peace.

You’re 7 years old, and your parents are about to drag you to the closest regional park for a good old family bonding hike. Look down at your clothes, what are you wearing?
It is 1991.
You’re sitting in the front row of the Versace Fall runway show.

It is a fashion statement, a social statement, and a visible means of protest against misconceptions. It’s never too late to say something, you and your experience matter regardless of whether you speak of it or not.
