PURPLE BLAB

Don’t let her glossie brunette locks and saucy style fool you. This art history and Renaissance connoisseur will challenge you to a jump rope match and tell you Blake Lively’s secret to getting those long, glistening legs…

1. I was captain of my High School lacrosse and field hockey teams.

2. I have a killer scar on my left knee from when I tore my ACL playing lacrosse in college. I didn’t completely finish my rehab so now my gait is slightly off…you can’t tell by looking at me but I can tell when the shoe heels on my right foot end up collapsing in.

3. I have a weakness for Chex Muddy Buddies and make them so often that I have the recipe memorized and can eyeball the measurements.

4. My favorite place to get inspired is at the MET in NY looking at all of the ancient jewelry.

5. I’ve spoken at a Renaissance Conference about the history of dress in 15th Century Florentine portraiture.

6. I have a really strong pants complex. I hate any pants that are slim fitting and I rarely wear denim. I only wear pants if they are relaxed fit and loose fitting.

7. If I weren’t in the fashion industry, I would be an archeologist and marry Robert Langdon so we could solve ancient mysteries together.

8. I don’t really get excited when I see celebrities, but if I met Roger Federer I would be like a 14 year old girl who just saw Justin Beiber.

9. I once had to go on a mad hunt in the Lower East Side to find aloe vera gel for Blake Lively’s legs during a photo shoot.

10. I’ve lived in Sydney and my life long dream is to spend 6 months there and 6 months here and have one continuous summer.

11. My bookcase is filled with non-fiction books on ancient civilizations or anything to do with women in the Italian Renaissance. I just can’t get through fiction books because I know they aren’t real (DaVinci Code is the only exception).

12. I’ve held a koala in captivity and been chased down a beach by a kangaroo in the wild. The first: really fun. The second: not so fun.

13. When I was 16, I lit my hair on fire right before meeting one of my favorite members of Nsync.

14. I get night terrors when I’m really stressed out and will scream and think I see animals in my bedroom. Weird and really, really annoying.

15. I drink way too much Cherry Coke Zero but I can’t start my day without one.

16. I studied abroad in London and interned for Lancôme while I was there. It is still one of my favorite work experiences.

17. When it comes to a fitness routine I swear by jump-roping. I could jump rope for days and will challenge anyone to a jump-roping duel.

18. I am very content staying in on a Friday night watching the History Channel.

19. Both my mom and my grand-mom are amazing painters and I can’t even draw a stick figure.

20. I bite my nails and I know it is the worst habit but I can’t get rid of it!

21. I’ve worked at Cosmopolitan Magazine in their fashion department and was featured in a 3-page story in one of their issues!

22. I love driving. I would rather drive all day long in traffic than take the subway or walk everyday. That sounds lazy but I just love to have the music playing and be in my own space.

23. I have an older brother who lives in NYC and works in finance.

24. I don’t hold a degree in fashion but instead studied International Affairs and Art History. All the rest of my classmates went to work at the U.N. and I ended up going into fashion…

25. I thrive off of finding really good deals and shopping sales. I get really excited when I find something I’ve been dying for all season really marked down and affordable!
