5. What are your 5 wardrobe staples? What’s your go-to style mantra?
My 5 essentials are heels, pantsuits, chunky necklaces or scarves and belts. I love shopping for pantsuits in different colours and styles; and feel most comfortable and confident when I am wearing them. I feel makeup is absolutely essential to give you a classy look.
6. What do you indulge in when you’re not working?
I love massages and believe that it is important for women to be selfish and pamper themselves.
7. Anything you would like to add?
Women are great at time management but terrible at guilt management. Get rid of that guilt TODAY.
