4. a wallet
5. Kleenex
6. an old fashioned week-at-a-glance daytimer
7. Blackberry
8. sunglasses from Visionary Arts Museum’s gift store (“They cost $5, and are great. They have a magnifier built in so they are reading glasses as well as sunglasses.”)

Worst Handbag Disaster
I went to the Sundance Film Festival and my handbag broke.  I had to try to find a handbag for under a thousand dollars.”

What’s In Your Closet
“Various size clothes from 8 to 12 because I never have time to go through them.  I’m an eclectic shopper.”

What’s Your Favorite Comfort Outfit
“An old black Nike warm-up from Nordstrom.”

What Are Your Favorite Shops
1. Nordstrom. “I like to use the personal shoppers there.”
2. Jones and Jones
3. Radcliffe for giftware
4. Target

What Was Your Biggest Splurge
“The dress I had made for my daughter’s wedding and now she’s divorced. I had to go to NYC three times for fittings. Today that dress would cost around $5,000.”
