Did you have any fashion role models growing up?

Actually Debbie Harry was one of my fashion role models from about age twelve or thirteen.

Why Debbie Harry?

She wore a lot of graphic prints and stripes. She was attractive in a more unique style.

Where are your favorite places to shop?

Thrift shops, Urban Outfitters, and American Eagles

Do you have any tips with thrift shopping?

Yeah, you have to be in the right mind set to be able to look through everything. You also need to have a different perspective on how you look at things. For example, a shirt you think might not look good will actually look good on your body type.
