What sort of advice would you give your 18-year-old self?Sometimes even if you put in the work, things won't go the way you wanted them to the first time around. It's okay to be disappointed, but don't let it discourage you from trying again. And don't be too hard on yourself because things always have a way of working out -- I still need to give myself this advice.What’s your favorite Teen Vogue moment?Gemma Ward's Teen Vogue cover from waaaay back in 2006. I was in high school at the time and she was my absolute favorite model -- it's still probably stashed in my room at home somewhere. Then, of course, having been such a fan of Teen Vogue, seeing my first post on the site.What beauty product are you loving right now?I could never pick just one, so bear with me here..the Dr. Jart+ Vital Hydra Solution sheet mask because it instantly perks up your skin, Maybelline The Colossal Chaotic Lash Mascara, and Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick in Penelope Pink.What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?Turtlenecks, dresses and boots -- always in black.What’s your go-to karaoke song?"Spice Up Your Life" or really anything by the Spice Girls.Who’s your favorite model and why?I've always been a big fan of Georgia May Jagger's quirky/cool style.
