Where I'm From:
Alameda, California (a small island in the San Francisco bay)

My Style:
A friend recently described my style as "boho-electric, thrift-store chic"—a hodgepodge of high-end and low. I buy an astounding amount of vintage—mostly on eBay and in Berkeley thrift shops—including scuffed-up boots, gently worn leather bags, reworked dresses, and mod wool coats. During the week you'll find me in a flared vintage dress, a cropped tuxedo jacket, and sky-high heels; and my weekend outfit consists of an oversize Nation Ltd. tee, skinny jeans, Frye motorcycle boots, and whatever designer my generous sister will loan me.

My Favorite Online Stores:
Ebay.com, shopbop.com, vintage-instyle.com, repopny.com, designpublic.com

My Favorite Stores in My Neighborhood:
Soho, New York:
Steven Alan, Opening Ceremony, Z Gallerie, Barneys New York Co-Op, Taschen, Tokio 7 (not officially in the neighborhood, but I am willing to walk!)

My Most Treasured Possession:
An old T-shirt that reads #1 GRANDPA that my grandfather actually used to wear. It?s covered in holes and threadbare, but I refuse to ever get rid of it. I also love opal jewelry (my birthstone) given to me by my parents, as well as anything from my grandmother?s wildly eclectic jewelry collection, amassed from every continent.

You'll Never Find Me Without:
High, high heels (with a pair of flats thrown sensibly into my bag) and a Goody rubber band or two placed around my wrist.
