So, I was tagged by GlamSpree to let you in on 10 secrets about me. From my denim dilemmas to my cooking prowess, it would seem that personal scoop just flows freely from me, but it’s really not that simple. As if writing about oneself wasn’t hard enough, I just don’t have many juicy secrets (I know, BOORING). So instead, I’ll let you in on a few of my obsessions, a couple of my quirks, and a serious(ly stupid) fear.
1. I love quotations. I must have thousands written in notebooks, on napkins or the back of receipts. From Sex and the City to Yogi Beera, notoriety doesn’t matter, it’s all about whit, originality and insight. Lately, I’ve found a few favorites on the side of my Starbucks cups under The Way I See It.
2. I’m sort of obsessed with eBay and Craigslist. I don’t buy all that often, but love scanning for vintage designs, rare releases, dream real estate or just for entertainment. Most wouldn’t believe the crazy things being sold on these sites- who seriously wants Paris Hilton’s Dirty Laundry Hamper (FYI- apparently it’s in excellent condition)?
3. I think greatness is found in the most minute details. I’m a total sucker for hidden enhancements. Be it the paisley print lining my trench, or the bright magenta suede inside my taupe leather handbag, I love creative little touches that are invisible to most eyes, but especially appreciated by mine!
4. I adore Marc Jacobs. I want it all, usually. I think his Marc by Marc Jacobs line fits my style best, but sometimes I wonder if he’s discreetly laughing at shoppers’ adamant consumption of rat motifs or the Miss Marc print.

5. I’ve always wanted to be an architect. I grew up infatuated by the pages of Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Better Homes and Gardens, I still love them. If the career didn’t involve straight-edged drafting or complicated math equations, I’d be designing homes.
6. I thoroughly enjoy documentaries. Dogtown and Z-boys is a favorite, and I just rented the Dixie Chick’s Shut Up and Sing, I highly recommend! Completely ignoring Deal or No Deal AND MTV’s Sweet Sixteen, I caught myself watching a two-hour PBS special on Haight-Ashbury’s Summer of Love last night. Try to catch an episode of Planet Earth (Discovery, Sunday nights), it’s amazing!
7. I am a total Sporty-Spice (just in cuter outfits). I played three competitive sports growing up, traveled the country with various teams and I’ve been a 49er season ticket holder since I was 18 months old (my mom claims a ticket was cheaper than a babysitter back in the day). Bocce ball or beer pong, I’m game for it all!
8. I always crave sushi. I wish I could eat it everyday. No matter the roll, it never seems to disappoint! And with a little seaweed salad on the side, I am a happy girl!
9. I heart Pop Art. As an Art History major, I should be more admiring of the Renaissance (all of them), Rococo, Impressionism, etc, but I’m always drawn to the colors, graphics, themes and humor of Warhol, Lichtenstein, Jones and others. While interning for Christie’s, I once saw an original of Warhol’s daisies laying on the ground, I was drooling, if only I could have stashed it in my handbag!

10. Bird conservationists beware, I seriously loath/fear the feathered kind. Pigeons, ducks, crows, etc., I think they all need to go. It started with traumatic childhood events involving a friend’s pet parrot- my taunting would lead to it chasing me around the house and occasionally leaving beak bite marks- and it continues today with my neighbor’s strategically placed birdfeeder!
So there you have it, c’est moi. GlamNest you’re up next, consider yourself tagged! With your ingenious recipe finds, travel recommendations and party tips, you’ll have no trouble letting us in on a few spicy secrets!
