“My first beauty moment was when I was probably four years old. My sister and I snuck into my mom's room and got into her makeup. We put on blush and lipstick and eyeshadow. I will always remember that day.”
“A perfect handbag is both functional and stylish. Of course you want to look cool, but you also want a bag that is going to work with you, not against you.”
“I keep my personal life personal. I don't talk about it.”

“Being confident without makeup is sexy.”
“I like to scrub everything down because I've usually got so much makeup and body makeup and products on. I have to shower every day.”
“For me, the runway is fun. I try to just chill out and look at faces in the crowd if I can.”
“Throughout the years I've been working as a model, I've gathered lots of information on the process of creating fashion without even trying.”
“I like to do varied exercises, even just going for a hike with my friends or taking my dog for a walk, then going to see my trainer or going to yoga.”
“VS is a family. Everyone loves each other.”
“I love to just throw on a leather jacket with jean shorts and a T-shirt, or I'll pair a menswear-inspired blazer with jeans for a casual but chic look.”

“I can't live without coconut oil.”
“Confidence is something you have to embrace.”
