What is one piece you would love to have lying around your home? 

After a long hiatus from the kitchen, I'm working to give up my dependence on takeout and start cooking again. Jessica Koslow's recipes are motivating and aspirational - but easy to simplify for a quick dinner. And, let's not forget that Sqirl has made it totally acceptable to make a meal out of toast! for my girlfriends and my staff!

What would you give as a gift to a friend and what you like to receive? 

The Marjolein Delhaas Basic Planner is perfect for my girlfriends and my staff! And for myself, I NEED the X Earrings by Trademark! I love simple statement earrings.

What special piece would be great for traveling?

Garlands Jumpsuit: All in one! The Garlands jumpsuit is perfect for my life as a touring musician. It's easy for me not to have to think too hard when I put on a jumpsuit, but also feel classy and utilitarian! Also, I just love the way they look.

What seasonal piece would you wear all winter? 

I would wear the Thora Boot all winter long - its shearling lining is perfect for the cold Minnesotan winters and the low heel makes it a great shoe to wear all day long. I love pieces that you can easily dress up or dress down and the stylish but understated design of this boot works great for that.
