Style is about what's in your house just as much as what you wear. That's why Dave and Alana got in touch with Douglas Elliman real estate agent Nicole Reber. Nicole was just featured in Vogue for her remarkable taste in just about everything. She's a Burberry super fan, hasn't worn black in years, and knows interior design like it's a second language. Nicole tells us about her upbringing in Southern California, her fashion origin story, and the tackiest renovations LA homeowners are obsessed with.
