Working in my field I just love a funky sock. I get my socks from one man, and one man only…That man is Sock Man on St. Marks. It’s a classic East Village staple - When you get there, don’t rush, comb the entirety of their selection and keep an open mind. In my early years in New York as an intern and stylist assistant I always picked up socks for my bosses there, and then when I had days off I would go and get socks for myself. I never leave without a minimum of 10 new pairs of socks and at least a 5 minute conversation with owner Marty, who is a cool, village grunge who loves Japanese socks.

I bought a few of these socks from ALAND Brooklyn a few years ago when I was visiting because it’s right above the ankle, and the colors are fun, especially the mustard. Ever since then, these are the only socks I’ve bought since. You can sometimes find them on their site every now and then, but they can always be found at the store if you’re around!

i dress socks first, i love a little matching moment, or a statement sock in an otherwise monochrome fit. i also love long walks, feats of athleticism, and wearing boots. these socks are beautiful, comfy, cushioned, and stay where you want them all day long. they don’t roll under your toes, and they come in two sizes!

Recently, I’ve been listening to or watching Joan Rivers standup and red carpet demolitions. She is so damn funny. I love her shockingly harsh comedic approach and roasting. My brain seems to be wired similarly to hers; mostly in her blatant honesty. She used to really speak her mind on red carpet critiques…Today everyone treads around on eggshells, it’s all so celebratory, confirming, and inclusive when it comes to fashion critiques. She was so real and hysterical as a commentator and told it like it is. I don’t think it will ever be the same again and hasn’t been since she died. I recently found a reality show she did with her daughter Melissa, called ‘Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best’ from 2005 on the E network, and it's just phenomenal.

My grandfather, who is my hero, has one of the firmest handshakes in a powerful but not squeezing way. I love handshakes.. I hug my friends but otherwise when I meet someone I like to shake.. I feel like it's such a great way to gage someone basically immediately - I really admire people who look you in the eyes and shake your hand with confidence. The way you shake hands is very telling of what type of person you are, deadfish shakes really scare me.

My family loves the great outdoors and one of my fondest memories and activities that we do together come fall is quail hunting..If ever given the opportunity to go- you must. It's exhilarating. Quail’s move in small covey’s and hide low in brambles in thicket. The bird dogs are muscular English Pointers, English Setters, and English Cocker Spaniels that can smell the birds and are trained to lift their tail to the heavens in a “point” when they have identified a group. On the command, they pursue the birds rapidly causing them to fly in the air with grace giving you a split second to try and hit your target.
