"Araks Yeramyan started her career with a few very famous pairs of skivvies--namely, those that graced Scarlett Johansson&amp;#x27;s bum in Lost in Translation and later, the ones that Sarah Jessica Parker became a fan of. Intimates led to swimwear, swimwear led to ultra-femme, totally wearable clothes, and now, as her latest ARAKS collection debuts, the designer is launching a brand new blog. Keep reading to get a glimpse into her pretty little world. Before I go to bed I always lay out my diary so that when I wake up in the morning I can record my dreams. When I was a kid my nickname was Ajax, Clorox, Borax, Rocks, Pebbles. My favorite comfort food is Armenian food. My friend&amp;#x27;s farm in Montes Claros Brazil is my favorite place that I&amp;amp;#8217;ve even been to. I&amp;amp;#8217;d never have soda in my house. I have about 30 but I only wear three shoes in my closet. My parents have these candlesticks at their house in Pennsylvania. They are by Moser, Checklsovakian Crystal company that makes beautiful pieces. They remind me of the RingPops I used to wear as a kid. My biggest splurge was on vintage gold Rolex circa 1960&amp;#x27;s I found in Japan. It is very dainty, not your typical Rolex. My cheapest find was an enamel thimble with a beautiful floral design at a flea market in Armenia. I collect green glass for good feng shui. If I had to compete in the Miss America contest, my talent would be singing. The last good movie I saw was The Lives of Others. This is a doorstep is on my block. I love the way the colors come together and that there can be such an amazing door in the middle of such an industrial block. The one thing I can never throw out is sneakers. The color I wear most often is blue or green. Shirley Chien gave these envelopes to my kids for Chinese New Year. She handmade the envelopes and drew the Chinese characters with a gold pen. I can&amp;amp;#8217;t believe that I ever wore my prom dress. I&amp;amp;#8217;m originally from Philadelphia and now I live in New York, because I love New York! My fave color combo is navy and burgundy. My shoe size is 7. Loves: Dogs or Cats? Dogs Which do you read more: Books or blogs? Both I found this in my patternmaker&amp;amp;#8217;s studio. She made it in college - It is broken but I don&amp;amp;#8217;t think it would be quite as beautiful if it were new and completely intact. Fave season: Spring or Winter? Spring weather, winter clothes I found this in my Mom&amp;amp;#8217;s jewelry box. They are rough cut diamonds, so the natural imperfections remain in the rocks. I think it belonged to my great aunt, but no one knows for sure. Pepsi or Coke? I like the way Pepsi tastes. I love Coca-Cola classic for the bottle Jeans or skirts? Jeans Heels or flats? Flats Tea or coffee? Tea, I&amp;#x27;ve never had coffee I got these from my husband, Seth, for Christmas one year. They are amazing because the forms are so simple but they have so much character. My son likes to throw the heads of the birds out of our window and then I have to go and find them in the parking lot next door. These little guys are indestructible!
