I stole this from Sartorialist

Because I like to pretend I'm really really fashionable.

Job?
I get paid to Nanny, Temp, Direct, play music.

Best Sartorial advice from your parents?
Make sure you have your basic pieces.

Style icons?
Darcie Young? My friends? I can't think of any one famous person. Maybe Zoey Deschanel, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Cloe Sevingy.

Describe your personal style...
Classy Cheap chic. I've been trying to phase myself out of my overly experimental days at North Park. Although my uniform recently has been a deep V with skinny jeans and a blazer....it's just easy.

I build my daily look around?
What is comfortable and clean. If I'll be wearing it all day I'm not going to throw on tights and a high waisted belt.

Personal Style quirk?
half the stuff you'll see me wearing doesn't belong to me....I feel closer to the people who's clothes i wear.

Favorite designers?
I'm going to be honest here, I couldn't tell you.

Most cherished item?
Any Jewelry that my Mom or sisters have ever bought me.

Never caught wearing?
a baseball hat

Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear?
I'm going to have to go with Romney on this one.
"The perfectly tailored woven shirt, the slouchy trouser, and the leather biker jacket."

Dress to impress who?
My friends, strangers down town.

Flats or heels?
Well I'm a gargantuan so I'm going to have to go with flats. I do like how heels look though, I just have a hard time wearing them for longer than 30 minutes.

Favorite stores?
In Chicago - Clothing Optional, Vintage Leather, (really any of the second hand shops in Wicker Park) And I'm cheap so, H&M and forever 21. But when I want to look at and touch something beautiful with out feeling out of place - Anthropologie.

Your next "must have" purchase?
An Off White spring Trench, A deep purple leather hobo bag and Greek goddess sandals :)

I skimp when buying ...
Almost anything...

I splurge on...
Good fitting jeans, and when ever I find "THE" perfect thing (see below)

Favorite item of clothing?
My Velvet black blazer, Brown lace up oxfords and my Dark wash skinny jeans.

Favorite fashion magazines?
Nylon, Vogue, GQ (is that a fashion mag?) and Does The Sartorialist count?

Favorite (style) books?
I have a photography book from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's Nick Zinner. I love looking at that thing.

Favorite stylish movies?
The Royal Tenenbaums and The Science of sleep.

Favorite vacation spot?
Red Bay Ontario Canada. It's not very fashionable but my family is always there.

Favorite neighborhood restaurant?
Sultans Market....even though I don't live in Wicker Park.
