“I came out of my professional athlete career with a 450 credit score, no money in the bank to show for it, but I had an Ivy League degree. So I put that Dartmouth degree to good use and got a job on Wall Street.

“But what Dakota most enjoyed about the beginning of winter was the crispness of the air (that practically demanded the wearing of knits) and the way that tough New Yorkers - on the street, in elevators, in subways - were suddenly willing to risk a smile.

“I always try and mix High Street finds into my looks. It really doesn't matter how much something costs, it's the way you wear it! Fashion is about self expression, having fun, and occasionally being a little disposable. I really enjoy lots of stores that are found at local shopping malls. French Connection, Zara, and Topshop always interpret the fashions direct from the catwalk at affordable prices. This playsuit from Hoss Intropia is delicate, super sexy, and has a lingerie feel. I'd throw on a super soft, chunky cardigan and a pair of flat gladiator sandals.” WayFeelsTryingLooksLittlesSelfMatterFoundFunEnjoyStreetsFashionExpressionCostDirectConnectionsSexyStoresLocalsHaving FunPairsFlatsShoppingDelicateAffordableSelf ExpressionMallsDisposableLingerieSandalsCatwalkCardigansZaraTopshopSuper Sexy Author:Cat Deeley
