Not locally- I like small, local hotels; not chains when I travel.

Cocktail of choice?
Either a red bull/vodka( i know, i know) or a Downtown, which is a Salty Dog( Grapefruit and vodka) w/o the salt rim. Oh, and always the Bubbly.

Style advice?
Personalize it!
Wear what makes you comfortable, accessorize with complimentary colors.

What is style?
An outward expression of what's inside

What is at the top of your style / wardrobe wish list?
A fantastic black, cropped blazer and some great running shoes are what I'm scouting for these days

Hair advice?
Always COMB through product in wet hair; this ensures that it is evenly distributed, creates consistency. Also, don't overdry the top of your hair, it gets the brunt of the damage anyways. Instead, section it out of the way with a clippie and save the top for last!
