questionnaire series: Shereen De Rousseau

 For this week’s questionnaire, we give you the wonderful Shereen De Rousseau. We are anticipating the arrival of her new pieces for the shop!

What is your idea of happiness?

Big question.. I’m still searching for what makes me truly happy, but a perfect moment of happiness would include my family, a beach, some music, and an empty appointment schedule for the week ahead.

We will never see you wearing?

Fur or 6″ heels. Both seem unnecessary and cruel.

Quality you most admire in a women?

A fabulous sense of humor! The ability to listen.

Quality you most admire in a man?

Again a sense of humor, and confidence. (Not to be confused with arrogance.)

What is the biggest mistake you can make when getting dressed?

Worrying what others will think. The most stylish people I know dress for themselves.

What is your greatest indulgence?

Travel and luxury hotels. I’m always dreaming of my next destination.

A woman should always look…

Approachable.

The best advice you have ever been given?

Luck is an opportunity taken. Nothing bad comes out of hard work. Words to live by.

Best beauty tip/beauty product?

Geisha Ink mascara. I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s a miracle product.

If you could only wear one piece of jewelry, what would it be?

My wedding ring, but I hope that never happens!
