Where are you from?

I’m from Philadelphia.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

I define my style as feminine, yet powerful. I love to give you a little bit, but leave you wanting more. I like classic silhouettes with a little bit of flare.

My personal style guru is Tracee Ellis Ross. She is so intoned with who she is, and it really shows in her style!

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

I love me a good high-waisted jean! I love how you can dress it up or down, and the way it sucks in that belly after a good barbeque. Also, I love the way it compliments my long legs.

Where do you shop?

Well, I would like to call myself a “Budgetnista” since I enjoy making things look more expensive than they actually are. I love Target, Amazon, and ASOS.

Describe your personal style in three words?

Vibrant, charismatic, and joyful.

Any fashion related tips?

I think my tip would be to not worry about the trends, don’t worry about what’s popular. Just focus on what you like, and what makes you feel good. When you put it on, you should feel like the most ultimate version of yourself.
