12. West or East coast?
I live for the energy and beauty of B.C., but I think that there is a constant pull back to the calm and consistency of the East Coast if you’re born and bred there. Proximity to NYC and Europe is also a perk.
13. Best vintage find?
A Chanel 2.55 from Tokyo
14. Your ideal Friday evening?
A fireplace, fondue and prosecco with my husband and friends, preferably after a great day on the slopes.
15. You have $10 to spend in 10minutes. Go?
Shea butter hand creme from L’Occitane. My hands are constantly dry from working with metal.
16. Words to live by?
“Well, you can only do so much.” It’s my husband’s little mantra, and an inside joke of ours. I have a classic Type A tendency to push myself to excess, so it helps to be reminded to slack off sometimes.
