What’s a piece of fashion/style advice you live by?

The cooler you feel, the more you’ll radiate confidence. Everyone will not dig your look, so the most crucial part is that you feel like a total queen in your outfit. Some might think it’s too dramatic to wear fur and sweats to the library, but I embrace unexpected pairings. 

Do you have any fashion don’ts?

I stay away from mixing gold and silver. If my leather has silver hardware, then I’ll probably avoid gold jewelry. 

How do you dress to stay warm and chic in the winter?

Lately I’ve been into wearing large fur coats over all white or all black. I’ll add a baseball cap, bold lip, and heeled booties too. Something about this combo has me ready to hustle (and it’s quite warm!).
