Q: Where do you shop?

A: I shop everywhere. I don’t discriminate when it comes to shopping. I can go from shopping to Buffalo Exchange, a thrift store in Wicker Park, to Topshop and American Apparel on Michigan Ave. I don’t have a specific store I shop at to purchase my clothes, however, some of my personal favorites are Zara, Topshop and Free People.

 

Q: If we were to walk in your closet, what color would we mostly see?

A: That’s a very hard question. If you were to go in my closet you would mostly see an array of different colors. I honestly have the entire color spectrum within my closet. If there was one color I have the most of I would have to say black, but it’s not the only color I wear. It kind of looks like a rainbow in there (chuckles).

 

Q: Favorite shoe line?

A: I love all shoes. Shoes have to be my favorite addition to an outfit. Some of my favorites are Steve Madden, Puma and Adidas. Right now my favorite shoe has to be my Creepers which is Rihanna’s line at Puma. You can wear these shoes with almost anything.

 

Q: Who’s your celebrity fashion icon?

A: Zoe Kravitz, Kelis, Solange and either Nicole Richie or Gwen Stefani. All of those girls know how to dress. From the red carpet to their everyday look all of these ladies never fail to look amazing.

 

Q: Any fashion tips you can give to your fellow dolphins?

A: Style is the way you are without having to speak. You can express yourself through your clothing and make it what you want. You shouldn’t feel judged or shy when it comes to what you put on your body, it’s what you make it. Risk it all.
