Describe your closet. What are some of your most treasured items?
My wardrobe is an infusion of colors in the summer and neutrals for the winter with vintage treasures, modern essentials, and ethnic pieces. I love my Olympia Le Than clutches and cannot live without my Rabih Kayrouz silk white shirt. I love the pieces that have been passed down to me by my Mother and Aunt; they both have such great taste and have always inspired my fashion choices.
