Jennifer Goodkind
“Radio Maven [I]”
Town: Greenwich
Occupation: Co-Host of “A Fashionable Life,” a radio show that airs on 1490 WGCH Radio in Fairfield from 9 to10 A.M. She is also a partner of JL Rocks fine jewelry in Greenwich and Westport.

Most coveted closet item: Brown/black velvet Roberta DeCamerino clutch bag that was purchased by my grandmother in Rome.

Favorite outfit: Jeans, t-shirt, Christian Louboutin shoes, several JL Rocks (my own line) diamond bangle bracelets and Tom Ford oversized aviators!

Wardrobe must-have: Jeans.

Biggest fashion faux pas: My biggest fashion faux pas was wearing a silk men’s pajama top (as a dress) out “clubbing” in Paris when I was at Parsons School in Paris. I thought I looked so fabulous until I started dancing … oops, it was a little short!

Favorite local places to shop: Mis en Scene, Scoop and Dighton Rhode (all in Greenwich) and www.net-a-porter.com.

Biggest fashion splurge: Shoes are the ultimate accessory. If my shoes are gorgeous, everything flows up from there. My favorite shoes ever are my pink, rounded toe, crushed velvet Christian Louboutins. Toe cleavage and jeweled sandals ... now that’s a prelude to any great look. It’s fashion foreplay!

Biggest bargain buy: A Velvet (the clothing company, not the fabric) black, jewel-neck dress I wore for New Years. It looked “designer” and was cheap, cheap, cheap!

Favorite designers: Alber Elbaz (Lanvin), Nicolas Ghesquire for Balenciaga, Sari Gueron
Fashion inspiration/icon: Jackie Onassis, Jane Birkin.

Favorite fashion advice/tips: Trends come and go. Style lasts forever.

Describe your sense of style: My sense of style is just that—a ‘sense.’ My great-grandfather, fresh out of the shtetl, became J. Press, arbiter of taste for the Ivy League set. He just utilized his skill set. That’s what I do.

What makes your style unique? What makes my style unique is me. I am in the box (lived in Greenwich for 23 years, married for the same, two kids, my parents have been married for 45 years). Yet, I’m out of the box, never predictable. Who wants to have such a sense of style that you can’t evolve?

Jayne Chase
“Radio Maven [II]”
Town: New Canaan
Occupation: Co-Host (with Jennifer Goodkind) of “A Fashionable Life” and a fashion editor for a chain of regional lifestyle magazines.

Most coveted closet item: My mother’s black alligator handbag with turquoise-encrusted handle and her monogram handkerchiefs from E. Braun & Co.

Favorite outfit: Worn-in 7 Jeans, Ralph Lauren black leather jacket and white tuxedo shirt.

Wardrobe must-have: Ralph Lauren cashmere slim-fit sweaters in every color. Absolutely can’t live without these!

Biggest fashion faux pas: My high school prom dress. It was a key-hole brown and white stripe halter dress with wide belt. Ugh! Very ‘70s!

Favorite local places to shop: Neiman Marcus.

Biggest fashion splurge: My Marc Jacobs black lace gown. It was very expensive but didn’t cost as much as my wedding dress. I had to alter it extensively, but I loved it so much! The lace is the prettiest I have ever seen.

Biggest bargain buy: Havaianas flip-flops! They cost under $20 and I wear these every day in the summer. On the first day of wearing, I’ve already gotten my money’s worth!

Favorite designers: Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew, TIBI, Milly, Tory Burch, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin.

Fashion inspiration/icon: My mother in Palm Beach, FL, in the 1950s and ‘60s, wearing Lilly shift dresses with her braided headbands dyed to match her blonde hair.

Favorite fashion advice/tips: Wear sexy lace underpinnings always ... day and night!

Describe your sense of style: My sense of style is definitely American. I always gravitate towards American designers and classic silhouettes. I love dressing up and feeling sexy, but I am most comfortable in blue jeans, great boots and Ralph Lauren cashmere slim fit sweaters. I should really be living in the mountains.

What makes your style unique?
It’s all about my expression and creativity. I have always dressed like an outdoorsy girl. I love to ski, play tennis and golf, and just be outside. I think people would be shocked to see me show up in a Cavalli dress!
