A travel-size dry shampoo is the answer to many problems.

I have always loved beauty and fashion. Some of my earliest memories are of being surrounded by fragrances and lipstick samples.

I don't use a stylist. I know what I like, so I do it myself. I rip things out from fashion magazines. It's easy to order when the phone number is right on the page.

Even though beauty is very much my heritage, my real passion is accessories and home.

I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet.

We have a house near East Hampton, and of all the beaches I've been to, I think there is something so beautiful about Long Island beaches. I love them in the fall and winter.
