In L.A., it's very hard to have some kind of conscience of some style out there. The weather's too hot; there's no seasons.

I lived in a studio apartment until my mid-30s. I don't have an extravagant lifestyle.

It's frustrating to not be able to wear the same dress twice, so I don't have a go-to dress like all girls do. Renting is definitely going to be my new fashion obsession.

I grew up partially in L.A. and partially in New York. In L.A., anything goes because it's really temperate. There aren't any fashion rules dictated by weather, whereas in New York, of course, there are. New York is seasonal, and also it's a fashion mecca, so people are a little more aware of how they put things together.

I don't get to go to the super fancy stores unless I am in L.A. so you stay pretty real and normal that way.

I spend so much time in Los Angeles and normally stay at a corporate apartment when shooting 'Top Chef: Just Desserts,' but when I have the chance to stay somewhere more luxurious, I love The Montage in Beverly Hills.

I don't take fancy vacations. I buy all my jewelry at Claire's. I can't remember the last time I went out to a fancy dinner. My family lives in a modest two-bedroom apartment, and my kids share a bedroom. But I do have one extravagant vice: shoes.

When I'm living in L.A., I'm mainly a jeans, vintage T-shirt and Nike high-tops guy.

I love seeing what people wear out to dinner in different cities. I know how differently I dress in New York than I do in Los Angeles.

I keep a pretty low profile. I live in Culver City with some roommates. I don't do the whole 'Hollywood' thing.
