I see you wearing lots of cool, retro patterns. Where do you shop to find such awesome garb?
My favorite store is Saver’s; they have the best vintage patterns for shirts. I also enjoy going to Banana Republic; their clothes are tailored true-to-size and add a “clean-cut” touch to my free-spirited style.
What accessories would you regret leaving the house without?
My sunglasses… ALWAYS! And, of course, a few pieces of jewelry.

Film and prose play a huge role in your life/career. What genres inspire your everyday style?
Definitely horror, because the setting is usually sometime in the fall. I love layering, anything flannel, and boots. Also, my denim jacket is basically all I wear when it’s cold out.
What characters from your favorite book/movie effect your clothing choices?
The 70s and 90s have truly inspired the way I dress. Pickford from Dazed and Confused definitely has a laid-back style like me, however, I also love the new trend of keeping things clean and simple. Lenny Kravitz’s role as Cinna in The Hunger Games suits my style (I LOVE Lenny Kravitz).
You are well known for doing yoga and working out, it has even taken you through a weightloss journey. How has your experience and dedication to fitness influenced your wardrobe?
I can wear whatever I want and it looks good. I had a struggle with my weight growing up, but when I moved back from college I managed to shed over 80 pounds. Yoga and going vegan is what really helped me keep the weight off. Now, I have room to move around in my clothes, even though my pants can be a little tight sometimes (*chuckles*)… I love the confidence I feel in my newly transformed body!
