My faves in the Bay Area...

www.vivadivaboutique.com
Viva Diva Boutique is my favorite boutique in Oakland. They are not only on the cutting edge of fashion, but they also offer spectacular customer service. Laurie and her staff are fantastic. Special thanks go out to them for lending me the use of the boutique as the location for all the photos on this site.

The Nail Shop is my favorite place for a mani-pedi in Oakland (or anywhere, really). Every single employee provides top-notch customer service and delivers a stellar final product.

Peter Thomas Hair Design in Berkeley is where I get my hair cut and colored. I love love love this place. Annette is my stylist (or as they say where I grew up in Texas, she’s my “beauty operator”), but all the stylists are wonderful. Check them out.

I’m inspired by...

Emily Neill is a fashion consultant in Boston. I’ve been following her career for years, and she was one of the main reasons I decided to make my dream come true. We met this summer and she was kind enough to share her experiences with me. If you live on the East Coast, you must hire her. She’s the best!
