So as you all know, I am a huge fan of Refinery 29 — they cover all the best, and they recently featured the Williamsburg home of Kate Foley, former model and buyer for Opening Ceremony. Here are a few of the excerpts from the interview....
What are the three pieces you find yourself wearing constantly?
1. "I'm always wearing platforms and wedges, the higher the better, nearly always with socks."
2. "White ankle socks. I'm forever bleaching mine and buying new pairs to keep them pristine."
3. "White and cream nighties and lace dresses. I grew up wearing white cotton nighties made by my grandmother. I think it stuck with me. I'm hugely attracted to natural fabrics such as cotton and linen. This style of dresses are just so easy and feminine."
Tell us a little bit about your job and what you love about it:
"I work in such a great environment, with inspiring, creative, and talented people. It makes going into work everyday enjoyable and exciting, which I think is so incredibly important. It's a great pleasure to work closely with all the designers and their teams. To be able to watch young designers grow in confidence and strength is fantastic. And to be able to support that process and see such talent is so fulfilling."
What's the story behind your tattoos?
"I like that my tattoos don't really have a specific story or meaning. It's more of an art thing for me. I'm really fascinated by skulls. The one on my hand was partly inspired by Renaissance paintings, which often include a skull positioned somewhere within the painting (always depicted without a jaw) as a symbol to represent human mortality, so it reminds me to live life to the fullest, I guess..."

One of my favorite restaurants in New York is Angelica Kitchen. Nestled in the East Village, their menu is fully vegetarian. My favorite things to order are cornbread with tahini spread, their daily soup, daily nori rolls, or the tempeh open-face sandwich. If you're in the city and you want a meal that your body will love you for, definitely check it out!
