Gabriella’s favorite hobbies? She likes to play outside with her brother and she likes arts and crafts. She also likes design — she’s the creative type.

What were you doing when scouted? Taking my daughter to TCBY, her favorite.

Describe your style: Usually laid-back and comfortable: I’ve got two kiddos! I have to be able to chase after them.

Fashion trends you and Gabriella love: I love the maxi dresses and skirts. I like the nautical (look) that’s trying to make a comeback. For Gabriella, the “more sparkle the better” is her trend.

Gabriella’s style: Gabriella only wears dresses or skirts. She will not wear pants or shorts so we have to work around that at all times! That’s her own choice: she will get out and play with the boys in the dirt but she will not wear pants and shorts.


Fashion trends you hate:
High-waisted styles on females is not really flattering for most.

Fashion influences: She just likes going into a store and seeing what’s on a set or mannequin. I subscribe to InStyle magazine, and I also have a sister who’s in high school, so she keeps me on top of things.

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? Lawrence is so great because it has such a good mix of everything from bohemian to classy. I love Lawrence!

Tattoos or piercings: Three (tattoos) and all very meaningful. Although my dad wishes I had none.

Whom do people say you look like? Alicia Silverstone in my younger years, maybe.

What type of music do you both like? Gabriella likes pop like Taylor Swift, where I like everything from country to hip-hop.

Tell us a secret: I have three cats, which means people already give me “the cat-lady look” but I secretly love it… I would have a hundred!
