Favorite food: Oh god… fast food is my weakness. My roommates and I indulge in Taco Bell or Mcdonald’s once a week (sometimes more).

On the weekends you will find her:

On the weekends I’m at Segredo working either at the front giving out wrist bands, in the back doing coat check or walking around the club with a tray full of shots. And if I’m not working I’ll basically be doing the same thing- minus the wrist bands and coat check :) 

 
How would you describe your style?

Colored skinny jeans, some type of patterned loose shirt, boots and accessories, whether it’s earrings or a bunch of random bracelets, is my day to day outfit. 

Where are your favorite places to shop: 

So typical but I love it, Forever 21

Which do you prefer: In store or online?

 In store for sure for 2 reasons:

 1. love the instant gratification of new clothes

 2. I often have to try on things before buying to make sure they actually fit.  My body type is unusual.

What’s your approach to getting ready for a night out?

For me it’s go big or go home. If I’m going out on the weekend it’s make-up done, hair did and heels high.  It back fires at times because from living all my life in Wisconsin I don’t think about what the weather is like…I literally will wear anything even if it’s 10 below. You only live once, right? 

What trend are you loving right now, and why?

Right now I’m really into high wasted skirts and jeans. They just cover the right places but acentuate the good ones.  I will always love off the shoulder or backless shirts. I just think they’re sexy but not in like a “low cut/short skirt” kind of way, a more sophisticated sexy. I also love seeing girls that can layer different patterns and make it look good. For me it shows they have their own individual style.  And I’m obsessed with accessories; so when girls can mix and match them, believe me, I’m taking notes.  

What are three pieces in your closet that you couldn’t live without?

Right now: black peplum skirt, chunky gold necklace and my closed-toe suede wedges 
 

What are you favorite accessories?

Earrings for sure.  I wear a pair every day.
 

If you could steal one celebrity’s wardrobe, who would it be?

I’m stuck between Blake Lively and Rihanna.  Not only are they gorgeous, but they also dress their body types so well. They rock whatever clothes they’re wearing, not the other way around. Form fitting, unique, and colorful.
