My Personal Style
“Comfortable and colorful. It’s become
a little more whimsical since I had my
two boys [Huck, 12, and Jasper, 10].”
Memorable Misstep
“I’ve shown up in those fashion-police-
type pictures a few times. But I was in
the magazine, so that was something—
and they spelled my name right! I
think I was wearing brown shorts
and boots; the shorts were baggy, and
so were the boots. It was a really bad
combination.”
Simple Beauty Routine
“It’s all about the face: lots of sunscreen
and night cream. I just started using
Beautycounter for my makeup. Unless
I have a photo shoot or something, I’m
trying to use the most natural products
I can find. I like Juice Beauty mascara
and Thistle Farms lip balm.”
Our Thanksgiving Tradition
“We love watching the Macy’s parade
and cooking all day, slowly. We do
some of it the day before, so there’s less
stress. Then there are the good smells
that come from the kitchen...hopefully!
I’m not the best chef, and neither is my
mother-in-law, so we just try hard to
tackle it. But if my sister comes, we’re
golden, because she’s amazing.”
An Unconventional Turkey Trick
“My Aunt Diane is a phenomenal cook,

Fresh face and bright
colors for fall
so I’m always on the phone with her at
Thanksgiving. I need tips and reminders
on how to do a turkey. Last year, she
told us to pour a whole bottle of Sprite
into the belly of the bird, and it was
fantastic.”
The Family Pets
“I never thought we would have a
donkey, but we do! His name is Oliver,
and he’s a sweetheart. We adopted
him; he’s a rescue donkey. We also
have two dogs and a bearded dragon.”
A Lesson I’m Thankful For
“My mom taught me to seek out
adventures and come back with
stories. The spirit in me that goes
out and does things (especially
with Huck; he is my risk-taker)
comes from her. The reason I went
to Guatemala and Haiti—and why I’ll
go on a 50-foot-high ropes course—
is my mom. She said yes to so much
in her life. If she was at the beach,
she was in the ocean. She was not
the kind of mother who would sit
it out. I think Huck would say I’m
that kind of mom to him.” μ
