Personal Style Philosophy: Generally, I stay away from trends and invest in classic, basic pieces that I can wear for a very long time!
Favorite Brands: Isabel Marant, The Frankie Shop, Anine Bing, Frame, and Khaite.
Favorite New Brand: Covey Skin!
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Stick to investment pieces. I went through
a lot of phases of shopping at fast-fashion places, but the clothes never last and neither
do the trends. Find pieces you love, take care of them, and wear them forever!

Summer Uniform: A Réalisation Par dress.

costume.

Personal Style Philosophy: Be creative, comfortable, and conscious. Fashion is a means to express who you are—and also your values. Fast fashion is killing our environment, so make statements with where you shop.

Fashion Inspiration: I will forever be inspired by the ocean in all ways, but there’s a real part of me that leans toward fashion. I also look to friends often. I’m surrounded by the most amazing women who share similar passions. Another huge inspiration is right on the street. Walking around Montauk or NYC is constant creative input. It’s real and authentic and I love that.

Personal Style Philosophy: Being in the fashion industry, I believe spending on staples is always key. Never wear something you’re not comfortable in, even if it’s trending. It will never look good!
Favorite Brands: Bottega Veneta and Chanel for key pieces this season. I like to fill the rest of my wardrobe with Re/Done, LoveShackFancy, and Isabel Marant.
Favorite New Brand: I’m loving Made in Tomboy, available at Matches. And Cult Gaia for fun summer pieces.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: If you buy something and you’re not dying to wear it, return it. My rule is if the tags are still on after a week, it’s not worth it.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: A print with a designer logo.
Summer Uniform: My go-to summer look is a LoveShackFancy long skirt with a Johanna Ortiz bikini top and my new Chanel raffia sandals.

Favorite New Brand: La Detresse.
Best Fashion Advice You’ve Ever Been Given: Never be afraid to take risks with your fashion because fashion is an expression of yourself and if you wear what you feel confident in, that confidence will rub off on others. You can’t go wrong being yourself.
You’d Never Be Caught Dead Wearing: Anything khaki material.
Summer Uniform: Dress up with a two-piece set with sandals (wedge or flat) or dress down with jean shorts with a crop T-shirt and white Nike sneakers.
Fashion Inspiration: Zendaya.
East End Shopping Haunts: Intermix, because it has a bit of everything.
