What does cute mean to you?
Cute means fuzzy kittens, peter pan collars, twirly dresses, saddles shoes, knee high socks, and so much more. Cute is everything that makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

What is your most fun fashion moment?
This isn’t so much one moment but I really love getting compliments from strangers, particularly older folks.  As someone who normally gets eye rolls from the older generations it just makes my day when one says something sweet about what I’ve chosen to put together that day.

How would you describe your style?
Oh goodness, I dunno! I don’t have a particular style that I stick to – or maybe I do and I just haven’t realized it. But what I wear and like changes from day to day. One day I might be really into dressing like a housewife from the 50′s and the next like girl scout. It’s all about how I’m feeling that day.

Who is your fashion icon?
I don’t have a particular fashion icon. I’m influenced by everything around me.

What is your most guilty pleasure?
Reality TV. I’m coming out of the closet right now to admit I love the Jersey Shore, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Mob Wives, Teen Mom and all the other shows that are most likely rotting my brain. There’s just something so interesting about watching someone’s live (scripted or not) that is so very different from your own.
