About Anna.
For those who are eager to know, I’m just about 6′1″.
I have what some might consider an unhealthy obsession with bargain shopping, the color green, my cat, and high heels that make me awkwardly tall.
With a B.S. in Textiles & Clothing from UC Davis, and a mother who is a couples’ therapist and sex educator, I write about everything from designer fashion to insight about sex, relationships, and communication that I have picked up from being a therapist’s daughter (and serial dater). My writing adventures have lead me to Yahoo’s Shine, Excelle.com, UC Davis Magazine, LVMH’s former online retail space: eLUXURY.com, StoreAdore.com, many coffee shops with free Wi-Fi, and most recently and frequently, BitchBuzz.
