In my humble opinion, Vanity Fair has the best columns. I am typically the girl who flips through magazines for the pictures and very rarely read the articles (hence, why I don’t read Playboy) but every month, I always look forward to “My Stuff” and “Proust Questionnaire”. So, I thought I would take this time to share with you my stuff. Enjoy!!

Underwear: Hanky panky (Gosh, I really hate their name).
Sneakers: Asics for workouts but eyeing the new Emerson Fry trainers in black for everyday.
T-Shirts: J.Crew vintage cotton v-neck… simply the best.
Favorite accessory: Michael Kors Bradshaw watch in silver and rose gold with a killer navy face.
Favorite boutiques: I am such a boutique girl. Here on the island I love The Lovely, Hepburn, and Erica Wilson. Back in Beantown (my former home for 10+ years), I always made out at Wish in Beacon Hill.
Jewelry I never take off: My screw-back ivory earrings my mom gifted to me two Christmas’ ago. I don’t have my ears pierced so always am looking for vintage screw-back (not clip) earrings.
