What sort of advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
Oh damn that was only a few short years ago for me, but I think I'd tell myself to just chill and try my best to always live in the moment. College classes and trying to secure internships and all that can be stressful at times, but those years go by just as fast as everyone says they do — so you've really gotta' just enjoy every second.Share a funny anecdote from a first job or internship.
I interned at Refinery29 this summer and was in the kitchen area talking to one of the other interns — I leaned in to grab milk from the fridge and was saying something along the lines of, "yeah I totally feel you homie," only to pop up and realize that my friend wasn't there, but the super-cute co-founder was… cue a major blushing moment.What beauty product are you loving right now?
This is tough because I feel like I love so many things right now, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with these incredible new lip lacquers by Giorgio Armani (out September). They go on subtly glossy and leave behind this gorgeous, just-been-smooching stain that lasts me through burgers, wine, whatever.What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?
Dresses. Literally always dresses.What's your go-to karaoke song?
"I Wanna Dance With Somebody," by Whitney Houston — it gets me so high on life that I don't even care about embarrassing myself.Who's your favorite model and why?
I'm not sure if I can choose — I think it's really cool (and refreshing) when models are a tad unconventional-looking or have something about them that really stands out.What's your favorite Instagram to follow (other than Teen Vogue)?
I'm a sucker for anything food-related (who isn't though?). A girl I interned with a couple falls ago started her own food Instagram over a year ago and now it's really popular. Whenever she posts, whether I've just scarfed down a full meal or not, I always find myself craving whatever she's having. You can follow her @gilliehouston.What's your favorite meal?
I have to choose just one?! Ima' go with a really ballin' burger and fries followed by strawberry rhubarb pie.
