Each day we’ll feature a different girl with a different personality and style.  Along with our new GIFT GUIDE, this will make it very easy for you to narrow down your gift— we know girls can be tough to buy for…

What are your beauty secrets? Any favorite products? I am the worst person to ask about beauty secrets, I am still learning how to do eye makeup. That being said, I have used cetaphil as face wash and lotion since I was in middle school. I also love Rosebud Salve and Bare Minerals.

What is your favorite accessory and why? Is there something you wear everyday? The DANNIJO Rejas necklace. No contest. I’m not even saying this because of the context of the interview…I wear it all the time, dressed up or down, and it always gets compliments.

Do you have any holiday traditions? Favorite places to go or celebrate? Midnight mass, Manheim Steamroller and Lobster pretty much sum up the holidays for my family.

What’s the coolest gift you ever received and who gave it to you? My grandma Rita started me on antique Milkglass pieces. Whenever she saw one, she bought it for me and kept it stored in a box in her basement. Now she is gone but I still get a present from her every year because there are still milkglass pieces in a box in the basement with my name on it. She did the same thing for my sister with yellow blown glassware. Opening our gifts from her is an exceptionally special moment each year.

What item at DANNIJO.com would you give this year, and which item/s would YOU want? I am obsessed with the Sparo Cuff and the Rejas Necklace. But honestly, I love the Fergie and the Dominica because they remind me of our summer memories out east and our beach runs in Quogue.

What holiday gift would you want the man in your life to buy you at dannijo.com and why? My DANNIJO wish list includes the Laurie U ring, the Mariella earrings, the Gia necklace, the Chanterilli necklace, the Jacinda ring, oh and the Shoshanna necklace. Ha too much?
