Frequently Asked Questions

As a career woman - what women have inspired you?

My life is FULL of inspirational women.

I will be uploading a blog post soon paying homage to some of the women who have supported me, influenced me or motivated me.

  • My Mother
  • My Grandmothers; Granny and Gran Sara Ann
  • My Aunts; Leslie, Linda, Paulette and Sherry
  • My Boyfriend’s Mother; Maria Cantu
  • My Mentors; Katrin Barnabas, Ashley Nissen, Dawn Toroker, Dawn McFarland, Ivonne Artiga
  • My Fellow Boss Babes; Ally Frey, Morgan Fowler Valdez, Florencia Pacchioni, Caitlin Brown, Jessica Cortez

And of course; Reese Witherspoon. I have always admired her style, grace, sense of humor, backbone for advocacy of what is right and of course her work. Reese has been a role model for me since middle school teaching me I can be whoever I want to be. That women can be successful and still have the “whole package” of career and family. Her book, “Whiskey in a Teacup” is the cutest tribute to her Grandmother’s words describing southern women as “a combination of beauty and strength – we may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, but inside we’re strong and fiery.”

Define your sense of style:

My style is ever-evolving. It is a mix of designer street style with true southern glam. The diversity in this combination serves as a road-map of sorts to all the towns, cities and states we lived in from childhood through today.

How long have you lived in Houston?

I moved to Houston in April of 2016! Napoleon and I loaded up a huge U-Haul and made the nearly 20 hour cross-country trek from Cincinnati to Houston.

What was your first Designer Handbag purchase?

ChloeMedium Marcie” in Cashmere Grey.

Would I buy this bag again? Absolutely!
This bag has been put through the ringer and it honestly looks just as good as the day I bought it.

I had ONE scary encounter with denim transfer – I was so scared I had ruined it forever. But when I got home that night, I just used a leather care wipe on the surface where the discoloration was, and it came right out instantly.
