Your style in three words
Edgy. Girlie. Stand-out. I love being noticed!

Currently Reading
Becoming by Michelle Obama and Crushing It! by Gary Vaynerchuk. I’m usually reading an autobiography and something business-oriented at the same time. I am always on the go, so I’m an audiobook type of girl.
Celebrity style crush
Naomi Campbell, of course. Beyoncé. Kanye.
Indispensable App
Google Analytics. The businesswoman in me cannot live without it. It gives me a snapshot of my stores at any point in time.
