finding out Michael S. Smith’s favorite things is pretty much what everyone wants to know- i know i do!

we already know if he wasn’t an interior designer he’d probably be a real estate developer, like myself, he loves jcrew cotton linen cardigans, and one of of the most fascinating insights is that he has several hunderd converse silvery-gold tennis shoes- now that’s a collection!

now we get to find out where he’s eating, what he’s reading, what he’s wearing, where he’s shopping, what gift’s he’s giving and what he likes receiving!

not a surprise, all you will find to be very chic, stylish and glamorous! i know i did, i’ve already made it to one of his favorites restaurants and i’m pondering planning a visit to his vacation destination of choice!

i know you will enjoy finding out more about michael- i did!
