I Was Young, And I Think Your Mistakes Sort Of Mold You. It Was Important For Me To Make That One. After That, I Definitely Made It A Point To Not Let Others Get In The Way Of What I Wanted To Do.

Everyone Has That Friend Who's Every Day, Like, 'i Hate My Nose, I Hate My Nose, I Hate My Nose.' You Either Need To Come To Peace With It And Be Like, Alright, I Hate It, But It's Part Of Me - Or Change It. So I'm Not Against Plastic Surgery, I'm Against Plastic Surgery When It Doesn't Really Need To Be Done.

I Think When You're Put Into A Completely Different Situation And Environment, You Really See Who You Are. You're Not Affected By What's Around You. You Are Who You Are.

When You Love Someone

I Almost Exclusively Wear Skinny Jeans. I'm Terrified Of Any Other Cut Of Denim.

A True Friend Is Someone Who Never Gets Tired Listening To Your Pointless Drama Over And Over Again.

Maternity Has Come A Really Long Way From When My Mother Or My Friends' Mothers Were Shopping, But It's Still Very Limited And It's Hard. Just Because You Become Pregnant Doesn't Mean Your Style Changes. You Still Want To Maintain Your Same Aesthetic, But It Can Be Very Challenging With What Is Out There.

People Label You The Way They Know You Best.

When You Do Multiple Things You Love, It Doesn't Feel Like Work.

I Think That A Lot Of Times, I Trust People I Shouldn't, And It Turns Out Right, And It Makes Me Feel A Little Better About It.

I Definitely Respect Other Designers But I Don't Necessarily Have One That I Look Up To.

There's Always Someone Out There Telling You Your Nose Is Too Big Or Too Small, Or You're Too Fat Or Too Thin, Or They Don't Like Your Hair.

Give Yourself A Compliment Every Day. I Know This Sounds Silly, But It Really Is Important. As Girls, We Spend Countless Hours Focusing On Our Flaws And Trying To Correct Them Or Cover Them Up. It's Essential To Focus On Something You Like About Yourself. Maybe You're Having A Good Hair Day Or Your Skin Is Looking Especially Healthy. Take A Moment Each Day To Focus On The Good, And Then Try To Carry That With You Throughout The Day, Because While Bangs Don't Look Good On Everyone, Confidence Does.
