Style icon:
Iris Apfel. "She dresses for herself, with no concern for outside opinions. Her personal style is just that, personal."
Her own style: "I don't take fashion too seriously; I dress in what suits my current mood. It's often playful, and rather retro. I like to mix pieces from different decades, and I almost always either make or reconstruct at least one item in my daily outfit."

Geronimo and am looking forward to seeing more of Jenny Reyes' collection."
Sleepwear: "I am the kind of girl who wears actual pajamas...with pandas on them."
