H&Mmm…: Lamenting that the chain hasn’t opened a store in her city, Dane says, “Every time I come to D.C. I have to come to H&M at least twice…I have an H&M fund.” Another favorite brand is Lux Deville, whose leopard-print bag Dane is sporting and whose slogan is “handbags that will tear your heart out.”

Brush-Off: “It doesn’t take me long—10 minutes—to get dressed. Most of my stuff is in the same color grouping. I can just grab a shirt and throw it with some jeans.”
