- When did your obsession with style begin:
- Although I've always had a great love of fashion (I can recall making a handmade pair of "oh so fashionable" cut off jeans adorned with puffy paint flowers… and lace trim to top it off!), let's just say my destiny was not intended to "show" fashion week. Fashion icon? Not so much. Love of fashion, absolutely!
- Things I'll always wear:
- All things black. Jeans and a white t-shirt. Ballet flats.
- I can't live without:
- A big purse (filled with coupons).
- My next trip:
- Las Vegas — "You gotta bet big to win big!"
- Favorite Recent Purchase:
- My MW watch.
- Favorite Childhood Christmas Gift:
- It's a tie, either my Little Tikes Make Up Counter or my Bedazzler.
- Fun fact:
- I love my role as "Aunt Megan" and adore my nephews James Odin Masoner, and Baby Masoner II on the way…
- Secret Talent:
- Gift wrapper extraordinaire! (I love all things paper).
- Favorite Fashion Quote:
- Women usually love what they buy, yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960 (I'm sure you can identify...but now you have reFINEstyle!)

- When did your obsession with style begin:
- My obsession began in elementary school… I took sewing lessons while others were on the soccer field. This love of fashion took a brief hiatus in middle school, when I opted to wear NBA jerseys instead of following the latest pre-teen trends… but reappeared in high school when I designed my dress for senior prom.
- Things I'll always wear:
- My grandmother's gold wedding band, button down shirts, and eyeliner.
- I can't live without:
- My favorite accessory, Henry — my Maltese/Yorkie.
- My next trip:
- I've always wanted to visit the kitschy arts town, Marfa, TX.
- Favorite Recent Purchase:
- My cropped black leather jacket.
- Favorite Childhood Christmas Gift:
- Definitely my Lite Brite!
- Favorite Designers:
- Marc Jacobs, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Robert Rodriguez, Elizabeth & James.
- Fun fact:
- I am obsessed with keeping in touch with old friends… some of my closest friends are from elementary school. Luckily Facebook makes it a lot easier these days!
- Secret Talent:
- I'd like to think I can make the inexpensive look like a splurge.
- Favorite Fashion Quote:
- Carpe Diem!
