What’s hot right now?
High-low is my motto in this economy: A white Hanes tee shirt with a navy Raf Simons blazer; Bon Chon chicken wings with Veuve Clicquot; a Bell & Ross watch with some old twine from a cake box on my wrist; watching Workaholics on Comedy Central and waiting for the new season of Our America with Lisa Ling; and of course, my one-carat cubic zirconia stud earrings.

What are you looking forward to most this fall?
Taking a trip down South to Asheville, North Carolina. It’s so witchy and hippie and a perfect place to celebrate the changing seasons. Also, one of my favorite restaurants in the world, Table, is there.

Who are the jewelry designers to watch?
