If you weren't working in fashion, what would you be doing?
I'd be a ballerina. I always danced growing up
and still love to take classes here and there.
Is there a fashion faux pas that still haunts you
I came to work at Teen Vogue with cowboy boots
and this baby-pink paisley dress
it was like Little House on the Prairie meets urban cowboy.
Who are your style icons?
Brigitte Bardot, Princess Diana, and Valentino.

What was the hardest part about breaking into the fashion industry?
Being able to accept the constructive criticism.
Being able to accept the constructive criticism.
It can be really difficult to swallow your pride and allow yourself
to be vulnerable.
Where do you find most of your inspiration as a designer?
I find it really awkward to go to dinner on a first date. I like to go to a comfortable, loungy place or do something fun, like bowling or a concert.
Do you remember the best advice you've ever received?
Diane von Furstenberg told me to empower myself in any life decision I make and never rely on anyone else to make it for me
How do you feel about The Hills coming to an end?
At first, I really didn't care. But now when I think of how it propelled me into the fashion industry, I'm a little bit sad. It's good that they're finishing on a high note—depending on what you consider a high note

What trend are you excited to rock this season?
