1. How does fashion complement your lifestyle?
I see a lot of people through my healing work and feel my best when I’m expressing how I feel. I get mistaken for an artist which is a compliment because fashion lets us be creative. I’m unique and my style reflects that. I feel youthful and my style complements the way I feel within.
2. Describe your style.
I've been all over the world and I’ve met fascinating people like the Dalai Lama and talented Native American artisans. I love to buy sentimental jewelry from the source like one-of-a-kind pieces in India or leather and fringe in the Midwest. I often wear handcrafted items. One time I had to buy an extra suitcase when I was in Brazil because I bought so many pairs of shoes directly from a woman who was making them. I also love giving items like this to family and friends as gifts.
3. Give us some fashion advice.
My advice is to wear your fine jewelry. I love accessories, especially diamonds and gemstones. I also love to wear silver and turquoise pieces made by Indigenous peoples. I like to support their community and the communities I work in.
4. Where do you shop locally?
For local shopping, I suggest NP Jewelry, which offers great value and has deep roots in the community (known for the puzzle ring). Fox’s clothing store always has something new or a great deal and the staff is so friendly. Stamford is an incredible City with so much to offer. I’ve been here for 50 years, originally from Greenwich, and I enjoy the many cultures and diversity.
