What is your favorite dress? Any classic wrap dress, they can typically be dressed up or dressed down and also accentuate the right curves.

What is your favorite pair of jeans? David Kahn - Heidi

What is your favorite pair of shoes? I love peep toe heels because they can be worn all year round. I have this black and gold pair by Enzo Angiolini that are my favorite. I am really digging the comfort and cuteness of ballerina flats and loafers this season too.

What is your favorite pair of boots? I have these brown leather Born boots I bought last fall, that have a slight wedge to them. They are more of a casual style, but oh so comfy, stylish and great for tucking jeans.
