1. What were you up to before you found The Scout Guide?
I was a stay at home mom with our two young children. Before that I worked in design in New York and San Francisco. In a nutshell, I designed flip flops for Old Navy and key chains at Tiffany & Co.
2. What do you love about your current city?
I love the amazing restaurants we have. I love how convenient, small and accessible Durham is and the proximity to “big city” Raleigh and sweet and sophisticated Chapel Hill! I love the mix of people, native North Carolinians along with New Yorkers and West Coasters. I like to tell people it’s like a southern fried Brooklyn!
3. What book have you been reading recently?
How Lucky You Are by Kristyn Kusek Lewis. Kristyn is a local author and friend of mine. I am still so amazed that my friend wrote such a great read!
4. Have you seen any good movies lately?
Yes! Well, lately for me… my husband and I saw The Master at The Carolina Theatre. It was unsettling and very, very visually rich! I loved it.
5. What is your favorite product for fall? Fall is such a great fashion season, so I will have to say clothes…I have a clothes-crush on a Paul & Joe Sister metallic jacquard top with a Peter Pan collar from Fleur that you could wear “up” with a party skirt and vintage heels or “down” with denim and flatties.
6. What is the local event you won’t be missing this season?
The Chapel Hill Christmas Parade is always a favorite along with The Santa Train at The Museum of Life and Science in Durham. I hope my sister in-law will host The Griswolds’ Christmas party in Raleigh again this year!
7. What is your dream vacation? I am pretty simple- it involves salt water, sand and sunshine along with great food and ample entertainment for the kids. The Outer Banks just after labor day are pretty incredible.
