Your favorite designers? For day, I like Ellen Tracy and Dana Buchman. For evening, Louis Feraud and Escada.

Is there a dream item you’d love to own? Chanel clothes. They’re classic, and the workmanship and the quality of the fabric are incredible.

Your best bargain? Anything that’s half price with an additional 30 percent off! I do go to sales at stores, but half the time I go through catalogs. I like Neiman Marcus and Boston Proper.
