Teased hair! When I first started on network news, I was based in Atlanta for CNN where it was believed that the higher to heaven hair was, the closer it would be to God.

Your biggest fashion faux pas, or a regrettable purchase /style phase:

Stop smiling and nodding. Ask the questions about things you didn’t know about…especially with regards to money.

One piece of advice you would give your 18­-year-­old self:

<a href="http://amzn.to/2jvmPvg">Rosebud Salve</a> is a savior that is inexpensive and smells delicious.&nbsp;

Skincare product you can’t live without (and why):

It will be OK in the end, if it’s not OK…it’s not the end.

Your motto in life:

I love teaching women about money. It’s a taboo, scary topic and I try to break it down in an accessible way.&nbsp;

What do you love most about your work:

A black sheath dress (and, SPANX).

Your go-­to power outfit:

There is not much a hot bath won’t fix.

You decompress each day by:

Beige heels!! For the girls with calves that are…not small.&nbsp;

The trend you hope never goes out of style:

Lust! I think I just love the shit out of everything.&nbsp;

Which of the seven deadly sins are you guilty of:

How to make latte art! I took one latte making class and it was a disaster…15 bottles of almond milk and 2 hours later, there was nothing close a foam heart. If you don’t already have mad respect for baristas…you should! Making a proper latte is no joke.

The skill or sport you’re dying to learn:

She began her professional career as a model, working internationally with top brands and couture houses, an experience that allowed her to develop an interest in both the creative and business sides of fashion. Always honoring her creative spirit, Nicole studied jewelry making and went on to spend time working with various jewelers in New York City. After honing her design and technical skills, she launched her first brand, Trunfio Universe. In 2016, ERTH Jewelry was born—fine jewelry that's expertly designed and crafted for everyday wear. The customer is of the utmost importance, and ERTH allows for one to develop personalization and curation of their own distinct style and look. In addition, sustainability is a key tenet of the brand; all of the gold used is recycled, the stones are ethically sourced or repurposed, and packaging is optional.In addition, Nicole has built Bumpsuit, a chic alternative to maternity wear which she launched just after the birth of her third child. Starting as a base layer providing comfort and function, the brand has grown to include shapewear for maternity and postpartum support as well as dresses and separates.Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nictrunfio/">Nicole</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bumpsuit/">Bumpsuit</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cheftrunfio/">Chef Trunfio</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/erthjewelry/">ERTH Jewelry</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/erthswim/">ERTH Swim</a> on Instagram for more.</div></div>
