Can you tell us a secret no one would guess about you?

I have a candy drawer next to my bed. The junkier candy the better…hot tamales, lemon heads, now & laters…you get the picture.


One meal you could eat everyday?

Cheese enchiladas.


One vice you wont give up?

TV romance period pieces. I will literally watch anything. Just finished watching all 3 seasons of Sanditon on PBS.


Late riser or early bird?

I think I’m a late riser trapped in an early bird schedule. I’ve had young kids waking me up for 19 years so I think now my body is programmed. So even now when I can sleep in, I’m up by around 7:30.


Morning routine you swear by?

I love a hot coffee in my Ember cup and to step out of bed onto my reflexology foot pad. I swear it wakes my body up with some blood circulation from acupressure by just standing on it for a few moments.


One day I hope…

…to spend summers in France.


More the merrier or less is more? 

I lean towards more the merrier. We have 2 teens and a toddler and they always have friends over. But I do also really love a quiet moment to myself.


Cool Brands you love?

Carel Paris for cute French Mary Jane shoes. 

Wardrobe staples are:
Amo Denim jumpsuits, Frank & Eileen shirts, This is the Great sweats, Natalie Martin dresses, and Clare V bags.
Make up is all Westman Atelier or Jones Road beauty. Both created by women who are older and I really appreciate their attention to what women our age are wanting to wear on our skin.


On the horizon: what’s coming soon?

I just finished a line of jewelry for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation that I’m super excited about. I’m a huge fan of his architecture and when they reached out to me to work together I was incredibly honored. I also have a scent collaboration with By Rosie Jane coming early next year that I cannot wait for!
