I think I am just drawn to accessories because I grew up in a children’s accessories showroom. My parents owned the largest children’s sales showroom in Dallas. I grew up surrounded by any and every accessory you can imagine. I was writing orders at age ten, and held the very important role of popping fresh popcorn for all of our customers.

These are my go-to vintage sunnies! The shape is great for a narrow face. I used these as a template for the sunnies Linda Farrow [produced] for my line with Lane Crawford. They will soon be available for all those who love a cat-eye.

On the left are very edited story boards for my “FOB” or front of book pages. These are the pages where there are only a couple items on the page.The right side of the board is a story I had just shot that week. I pin the shots on a board to work on the edit.

While I do love a good bling piled on, I find myself taking more and more bracelets off these days. Too many people doing the same thing and it’s getting a little redundant. This is my third name plate and I just gave up when I told them my name has Hill on the end of it. I was married long before I came to Marie Claire, but my first day of work the name plate read Tailor Tomassi, the second, Taylor Tomassi, This is what I got the third time around so I just went with it. It gets the job done.

The mixtures of textures, prints and bright fluorescents is just so amazing to me, I can’t get enough. It’s hard to save money for decorating my new apartment when I am surrounded by these lovely ladies all day!

This is the second love of my life, Stormy Morning Tomasi Hill, she’s thirteen years old and when she developed arthritis my lovely brother-in-law and his girlfriend offered to move her to Dallas where she won’t have to deal with a crazy walk up, she just can’t take the stairs anymore. My brother-in-law’s girlfriend is so thoughtful and sends me these adorable cards which she calls “Tim Mail,” we call her Timmy for short, long story. They always end up posted at my desk to keep me laughing throughout the day.

I’m definitely one to try to find the fun in anything I do. This shot was when Sergio and I were playing around with the interns after a run-through. It can be so serious around the office at times, and sometimes you just need to take a little down time to play around. Sergio is constantly trying to get me to pose for his column and clearly I don’t mind the camera when I’m all decked up in any sort of “costume”. The neck piece is an amazing brand named after a French expression meaning “You think you’ve seen it all”. Neck Piece, On Aura Tout Vu
