6. If you could meet anyone living or dead, who would it be? Virginia Woolf or maybe one of the Bronte sisters? My dream is to have a modern day literary salon out of my house!
7. What is one thing that you can't live without? My guilty pleasure, swiss miss hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. It is the best!

3. What do you do? I own and operate Conifer, a boutique in San Francisco.

10. Why do you love dace so much – you do love us… don’t you? It’s all love! I can sense the passion in the line which makes it really easy. Great fits, styles, fabrics and it’s accessible. You can’t go wrong!
