While I've been screaming over her shoe collection for years, she's now also launched Nou home, a collection of chic home pieces picked using her same impeccable process and taste; thoughtfully handpicking each and every piece as if she were buying for her own home.Many of you also might know her from the Real Housewives of New Jersey - which happens to be my absolute favorite reality television show of all time. While she has stayed very far away from talking about the experience of reality TV and the extremely traumatic life events that have occurred alongside it, she recently opened up on her substack, finally allowing herself to share her side of a very publicly documented experience.
