Executive vice president and general counsel, Fannie Mae
Her work style: “I like to be business-appropriate but feminine. Whether I wear a suit, slacks, or a dress, tailoring and good material are important.” Designers she wears: “I feel great in Louis Féraud suits—one of my favorites is blue with a pinstriped jacket and bouclé skirt. Theory is good for simple pieces with a bit of a ‘downtown’ look.” On her feet: “I love high heels. Stuart Weitzman shoes are comfortable, and I also wear Manolo Blahniks. I’m getting a pair of Jimmy Choo black patent open-toe shoes for spring.” Sophisticated extras: Scarves by Pucci and Hermès.
