Clock: Biological. Charging: My new wardrobe. Inspiration: Hitchcock heroines, Kate Spade ads ‘Thank You’: Chocolate, champagne, framed photo. Flat note or folded: One shouldn’t have to choose. Organization: Euphoric! Handwritten or emailed: Handwritten. Book: My checkbook. Color: Aubergine, Turquoise, Gold, Red. Magazine: Lucky, Country Living, Martha Stewart Weddings. Stationery: Too many wonderful choices to just pick one! Planning: Parties. Business: Busy body.
