The author, founder of two companies, and model for brands like Aveeno lives in a loft in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood and has created a space that she says reflects her lifestyle: sustainable, eco-friendly and rooted - so to speak - in the surrounding community.
Oakes' home is currently filled with 500 plants, including a vertical garden, banana and sweet potato plants, and a kitchen herb garden. Oakes has essentially created a living jungle inside a third-floor walk-up, which she says stems from her childhood habit of spending every spare moment outdoors - which led to a degree in environmental science and entomology from Cornell University.
