Occupation/ Industry: Grad school (2 more years!)

Favorite brand:
- Clothes: The brands I love aren't the brands I wear...I tend to just wear Ralph Lauren to work, but I would love to wear Chanel and Dior dresses, but it would be silly with my lifestyle

Current obsessions: Jewelry is always an obsession...and food

Hobbies: I love reading so much...don't get to do it much since I'm stuck in the lab all the time, but I just finished reading all The Decameron and it's brilliant. I love the classics, and am now starting The Aeneid by Virgil. So far it's amazing

Best/worst jewelry story: Most of my experiences are pretty average, though I have to say I get the best service at Tiffany's. My worst experience was actually at Van Cleef and Arpels. I went to the NYC store and the SAs were all really mean and unapproachable It's a shame because I love VCA designs but am so put off by the service that I hesitate to buy anything
