On her blog’s beginnings:
I jumped around in the lifestyle journalism world and felt there was something of a void for a girl like me—I was always more interested in what my husband was reading. I love nail polish and earrings, but I also love sports cars, classic cocktails and duck boots. I wanted to start something that struck that same kind of balance.

The quintessential tomboy is:
Adventurous, confident, rebellious and plucky.

Daily must-reads:
There are so many great blogs out there, but these in particular are some daily reads:
Even*Cleveland
Quite Continental
Miss Moss
A Well Traveled Woman

On her upcoming book with Rizzoli:
I’m so excited about it! There will be some sneak peeks on the blog very soon. I’m just about done with it—I’m actually taking a quick break from writing photo captions right now.

Dream interview for Tomboy Style:
Is this an awkward time to ask if you know Jenna Lyons?

Looking back at it:
My first job in publishing was an internship at W Magazine, where one of my duties was to transcribe hours of interviews for an editor. At the time, I thought I’d really made it in the publishing world! I guess I would tell my younger self that things get better and more rewarding, but maybe that would have ruined it.
