How would you describe your style? 

Why be tied down to one style? I consider myself

unpredictable when it comes to fashion. I make my own

rules and blend the trends as go. If I dream it, I do it and

when someone tells me they "can't" - I say, "Why not?"

 

What trends are you appreciating now?

I am appreciating fun hair accessories that break typical

rules - such as feathers and big flowers. I am all about

the flair. 

 

What should every girl/guy have in her/his closet? 

Everybody should own a significant accessory that gives

you a special boost and makes any outfit better. When I

look in the mirror and something isn't quite right I add a

feather to my hair!

 

 

What do you never leave the house without?


I can't live without my planner. It reminds me that I am in

control of my time and well being, regardless of how many

things I have going on. It keeps me on track and helps me

plan my future goals.

 

Who gives you the best advice?

My husband gives me the best advice. He keeps me grounded and balanced and always exposes me to a new point of view. He catches my blind spots in life and makes me aware of them.

 

What is your greatest extravagance? 

My makeup is my greatest extravagance. I could never have

enough makeup in my case and I appreciate something

about each piece I have - makeup is a limitless art and has

the power to transform how you feel about yourself.

 

What skill would you most like to improve? 

I would love to improve my cooking skills. Cooking was a big

part of my life growing up in Colombia and I would like to

perfect the art of creating traditional Colombian cuisine.
