My FW2013 Saint Laurent jumper, it id purely comfy and beautiful!
Your most prize possession?
My camera or mac as without them, I will be a total lost casue
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
I never was influenced by anyone as I never really connected with people or felt they were the same as me. But I stylized and look up to the coolest and legends that are Kate Moss and Alexa Chung. I hope to be as cool as them!
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
To my mom on the phone because I've not seen her in a while...
