<p>My family pulls straws for Christmas stockings. We each get a budget and have to pick small but meaningful gifts for the person we chose. It forces you to get creative!</p>

What is your most favorite holiday tradition?

<p>Definitely Thanksgiving. I have a giant Italian family and we always eat a full lasagna/meatball course before we even get to look at the turkey.&nbsp;</p>

What is your favorite holiday meal?

<p>I usually go home between Christmas and New Years. Spending two weeks with my family with less than the usual amount of responsibility is incredible. I always come back rejuvenated and happy.</p>

What do you love most about the holidays?

<p>Don’t buy anything at full price. There are too many amazing sales! Also keep a list year-round of gift ideas for your loved ones (I have a Google Doc) so that you don’t have to scramble last minute.&nbsp;</p>

Your best holiday gifting/shopping piece of advice:

<p><a href="http://bit.ly/1v38etu">J.Crew</a>. Always… It’s a mild addiction.</p>

You’ll be buying most of your holiday presents at:

<p>I just got caught up on Homeland. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FGEO9NE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00FGEO9NE&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=rast00-20&amp;linkId=6354IPPAAMVHWMNX">Season 3</a>&nbsp;might be the best one yet… Although it tends to give me massive anxiety.</p>

Your current Netflix addiction:

<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006HMYW0E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B006HMYW0E&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=rast00-20&amp;linkId=4CZ52AYNKL3KDFBQ">S.W. Basics toner</a>. It keeps my skin fresh and clean with only 5 wholesome ingredients.</p>

Skincare product you can’t live without:

<p>I recently and finally powered through <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316055433/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0316055433&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=rast00-20&amp;linkId=F6R4ADH5GIZOJSGP">The Goldfinch</a>. It was tough to start but once I got into it, I was hooked. The writing is beautiful and it’s a thrilling story.&nbsp;</p>

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. </p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><b><i>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.</i></b></p></div></div>

In 2016, she was appointed  to the CFDA, the association of America’s most prominent designers, after having  been sponsored by Michael Kors and Zac Posen. Her press coverage includes  Forbes “30 Under 30” and a 2016 feature in WWD, “Ten of Tomorrow,” which  showcased the best new talent in the fashion industry, as well as regular coverage in  Vogue, People, InStyle, Town &amp; Country and NY Times.
