What inspired your board in our Pinterest contest?
Living in Wisconsin, there is nothing better than a white Christmas! I wanted to create a board that included a lot of snow, glitter, and cozy touches!

What do you do for a living?
I recently graduated from UW-Stout where I studied hospitality and business. I currently work at a fantastic women’s boutique in Egg Harbor, WI, called Patricia Shoppe. ( https://www.facebook.com/PatriciaShoppe ) .

What are your hobbies?
I love to cook; learning new recipes and making up some of my own! Reading is also one of my favorite things to do. I also love to travel whenever I get the chance. I would love to be able to go back to Europe soon!

What do you love about butter LONDON?
The drying time is great, and the polish really holds up to wear and tear. I just washed a lot of dishes, and I don’t have a single chip!

What’s your favourite butter LONDON colour?
For every day wear, I love Yummy Mummy. It is a great neutral that matches everything. Tramp Stamp is another favorite that is my go-to for a night out!

Where do you like to shop?
Many of my staples are from H&M, and I enjoy finding unique pieces from local boutiques and shops. I also like to bargain hunt at Target and thrift shops for things to decorate my apartment!

What magazines do you read, if any?
Bon Appetit always inspires me to whip up new dishes. I also read Harper’s Bazaar because of their beautiful fashion spreads!

Who is your favourite actress/actor?
I love watching any movie with Meryl Streep because you know she will do a great job taking on any role. I also enjoy Audrey Tatou and, like any other woman, I love George Clooney.

Who are your fashion icons?
Audrey Hepburn is a classic icon. Anything she was wearing in 50s and 60s, you could easily wear today! I see Kate Middleton as being a modern day Audrey, as her outfits are always simple, classic and well tailored.

Do you follow any bloggers? If so, who?
Justina Blakeney’s style is so unique! She always has something interesting to look at. ( http://blog.justinablakeney.com/ ) Design seeds is another blog I love when I need a little color inspiration.

What kind of music do you like to listen to?
I enjoy a large variety of music. My playlists usually includes Michael Buble, Aerosmith and Lady Gaga!

Describe your style.
I believe in staying classic and comfortable! I usually dress in layers, so you will always find me in a cardigan or blazer. When I want to wear a new trend, I usually wear it in small amounts, such as on a clutch or a scarf.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
Spending time with family is very important to me, I am very close with my parents, sister and brother. I also love to see my boyfriend, Bryan, watch classic movies with my friend, Katie, and make cupcakes with my friend, Danielle. I also love to help my friends and family plan events, including parties, showers and weddings!

What you can’t live without?
I wouldn’t be able to live without my best girlfriends! And cast iron. Everyone needs a cast iron skillet.
