(And always wear sunscreen.)What’s your favorite Teen Vogue moment?I have a really strong memory of reading (and re-reading, and re-reading) the September 2007 issue with Anne Hathaway on the cover poolside with my twin sister. Flipping through the pages of Teen Vogue and dreaming of being a fashion/beauty writer pretty much defines my teen years!What beauty product are you loving right now?Lately, I've been kind of obsessed with wearing glitter eyeshadow day, night, anytime! Urban Decay makes an amazing liquid one that I love to wear with a tiny bit of black eyeliner from Hourglass. For skin, I've been loving Aesop B & Tea Toner (an all-time fave) and Caudalie's Overnight Detox Oil.What fashion item seems to always be on your shopping list?The perfect white tee – not that I need any more of them!What’s your go-to karaoke song?Sk8erboi by Avril LavigneWho’s your favorite model and why?I think Teddy Quinlivan is amazing for truly using her platform to talk about important aspects of the industry.What’s your favorite movie quote? “Is there some reason my coffee isn’t here?
