Brie is a cheerful sufferer of Compulsive Shopping Disorder, which she claims to stem from a dedication to the Fashionista Lifestyle. This includes owning multiple pairs of everything and playing the lottery in hopes of winning a shopping spree. Unfortunately, this isn’t conductive to her university budget, so she has been educating herself in the art of self-control and bargain buys. When Brie is not reading magazines, writing blog posts or fantasizing about owning her own Carrie Bradshaw closet, she catches up on sleep and goes to class.  She’s also a big fan of bad reality TV, photography, and museums.
