the stylebook questions

A few days ago, I gave a joint presentation with my friend and local stylist Alicia Mccaslin on style, trends and what every woman should have in her closet. We were trying to come up with an interesting way of introducing ourselves, since many of the women in the audience did not know us or know why we had been asked to give such a presentation. Alicia has a seemingly endless supply of great ideas, and true to form she suggested that we poach Vogue’s 73-questions concept and film our own version.

If you’ve never seen these videos, you’ve been missing out. Here is the complete list of Vogue’s renditions, but my personal favorite is Matt Lauer’s interview.

Granted, with neither the time nor money that Vogue certainly has to pull these off, I am pleased with the outcome of ours. The response was so positive at the event, we are going to film the remaining Stylebook members in similar videos over the next few months. So, without further ado, here are our answers to somewhat less than 73 questions:

  • The latest from Elizabeth
I spent the first part of my career as a copy-writer who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive. At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.

Heard the buzz? The Shoe Hive & The Hive are a pair of luxury boutiques in Old Town Alexandria. Featuring both big name designers like Rag & Bone and Stuart Weitzman and smaller brands like AGL and L'Agence, our unique selection and impeccable service are what set us apart.
