How would you describe your style?
" Palm Beach meets Southern Belle. Does that make sense? My style is very pastel, feminine, preppy and beachy. You willI never see me in a dark color because I believe in cheerful dressing. It isn’t really possible to be sad when you wear pink, right?"
 
Who is your style icon?
" Oh, I adore so many! Reese Witherspoon is the epitome of charm and I truly love her style beyond words. My staples are hot rollers, gingham and pink lip gloss, just like her. I also adore the individuality and ambition of Lilly Pulitzer and the demure femininity of Doris Day. "

How'd you style the Cha Cha Tassel Dress? Can you share any of your styling/fashion tips? 
"There is so much glam on this stunner of dress that I didn’t want to take away from it with too many accessories. “Less is more” and with all of this detailed stitching, I wanted to let the dress wear me. I added a simple chain necklace and bracelet, plain clutch in a complimenting blush color, and shiny gold heels to keep the shimmery dress detail going. This dress is so fun and it can be fancied up or dressed down with a pair of casual wedges for an outdoor event easily!"
What would be your ideal way to spend a day in this dress?
"Somewhere I can dance, or somewhere with a light breeze! The tassels on this dress are even better in person and they twirl and flow beautifully. The dress is loose fitting with a lot of coverage to be worn during the day, but still shows off your curves to be sexy enough for a night out. So, truly anywhere—anytime!" 
What has been your favorite summer cocktail?
" Usually I am a summer sangria lover, but this summer has been Prosecco cocktails! My favorite to date is Prosecco and strawberry purée with a little hint of mint, vodka and honey. You’ll be asking for thirds, but may not be remembering it. Hee hee!"
