Style Scout: Kelly Renick

Least favorite trends? Flared jeans, jean skirts in general, printed T-shirts, and really orange fake tans.

Favorite coffee shop? La Prima Tazza. I like it for Alex and John and Anne!

Favorite bar? I like the Replay because people burn me with their cigarettes, and I like the Tap Room because I get bored there.

What book are you reading? Short Stories by Lorrie Moore and Secret Carnival Workers by Paul Haines.

Tell us a secret: Until the age of 15, I told people that I wanted to be a dinosaur when I grew up.
