What is your go-to for the holidays?
Leopard print, chunky turquoise jewelry, and fur coats rule my holiday looks (and my year-round looks for that matter).
Recently I’ve been super obsessed with Charlotte Simone jackets, corsets and dresses from Bella Venice, and obnoxiously large belts from the back corner of my local thrift. Sparkly eyeshadow, statement rings, and a pointed heel sharp enough to cut … that’s my recipe for the perfect holiday look.
What makes you feel confident?
My openness to meeting new people is my favorite trait about myself!
Nothing fulfills me like hearing strangers tell their stories or making new friends in unlikely places. Other people’s kindness and authenticity make me confident in my own identity, and I’ve met the most iconic, interesting people just by saying hi.
Who are your style icons ?
Fran Fine, Rebeca Oksana, Penny Lane, (Season 2) Carrie Bradshaw, and Grece Ghanem are my absolute style ICONS.
They know how to play with crazy prints and textures, strut with confidence, and make classic looks their own: all goals I want to achieve when getting ready for the day.
Describe your style in three words.
Western Rockstar Princess !!!
I can’t escape the pull of cowgirl boots, concho belts, and bolo ties. My competing obsessions include all things 70’s: suede, leather, animal print, furs, huge sunnies, and bell bottoms. The last third of my fashion brain is dedicated to “princessing”, a delicate balance of noisy heels, shiny dresses, and glitzy jewelry.
What are your New Year resolutions?
Next year, I want to spend more time in nature, get involved with NOLA festivals, and see more live music.
We live in the coolest city ever, and I want to take advantage of every artistic and cultural opportunity New Orleans has to offer!
