What are you wearing right now?
Velvet dress from Max Azria, Thrifted Leather Jacket and boots from Posh Boutique in Nashville
What are your favorite stores?
I really like boutiques like Jigsaw London in Nashville and also Anthropologie. I’m not too big into thrifting unless I get things dry-cleaned.
Who is your favorite style icon?
My grandma. She was my age during the ‘60s, and I look back to younger pictures of her as inspiration. I also find inspiration in a lot of foreign pieces.
Most disliked Vandyguy trend?
It is never OK to wear Oakley sunglasses outside of 1994.
If your closet was burning and you could only save one item, what would that be?
I love shopping, so probably nothing just because it would give me an excuse to buy more things!
And lastly, describe your style in three words ...
Fun. Flashy. Functional.
