Radiating in this Michael Kors ensemble, Jessica Simpson lights up the November cover of InStyle magazine. In the issue they gathered Jessica’s closest friends and had them submit questions that she answered.

Roberto Cavalli asks: How many bags and pairs of shoes do you own?

“Countless! You really can’t put a number on that one!.”

Ken Paves asks: Do you have a pair of lucky pair of socks you wear under all of your favorite stiletto boots?

“OK, I have a thing about socks. I have a pair of Penguin socks that I bought at Hot Socks at an airport — I don’t remember which airport. And they’re lucky. I’m weird about socks. And I also have people draw on my socks, and I save them and wear them if I want some luck.”

Ashlee Simpson asks: What is your fave thing about having a younger sister?

“Oh, that is funny. My favourite thing is that she is cooler than me. I go to my sister for advice all the time, mostly about guys, life or how to deal with an argument with Mom or Dad. You’d think she was older. I had to go through life first, and she saw the choices I made, good or bad. She can look at my life and be, like, ‘OK, I’m gonna do it this way.’ I might be a little more jaded, but it’s exciting for me to see her making good choices.”
