What drives your purchases? 

What doesn't drive my purchases! If I see an accessory, cool print or top, the first thing that comes to mind is how I can style and mix it with my existing wardrobe. 

Shopping Desires: 

God! Okay, I buy things that make me feel happy, so whether that is a certain color, or print; I'm usually driven by pieces that make me feel happy. I like accessories that pull together complete outfits. I like the little things that add to an outfit. 

How do you react to trends? 

I'm usually slow to pick up on a trend. I don't necessarily follow what's on trend at a given time. If there is a specific trend that I like, I tend to buy pieces within that area. For example, The Aztec trend. I'll buy pieces along that theme.  I feel like I buy trends when they are no longer in trend anymore. 

Fave brands, if any? 

My favorite brand would be Ann Taylor Loft. I'm also going to say J Crew. I like the simplistic, classic sort of  style.  I can accessorize classic,chic and simple styles with accessories; a piece of jewelry, handbag, shoes.

Favorite online shops: 

None, really.

Fave item to buy each season: 

Fall- Boots

Winter- A Coat 

Spring- I love Spring dresses, but dont necessarily look for new ones every Spring. 

Summer-  Purse or bag, I like two switch up from a basic black or brown and switch to a bright colored bag or a pattern/print. 

Can't live without: 

My knee high boots! 

Where do you find most of your wardrobe pieces these days? 

Lately I've been shopping at local thrift stores and flea markets. I like the idea of mixing vintage with new items to complete a look. I like to balance classic, timeless pieces, with something very trendy at the moment.
