What do you treasure most about your life?
My family. They’re the most supportive parents and sister a girl could ask for. Because of them I have the freedom to do whatever I want with my life.

Most cherished piece of jewellery?
That would be a tie between the Tiffany’s earrings I got on my 18th and an onyx and gold ring I bought second hand as Christmas present for myself.

Favourite wardrobe item?
Don’t make me choose! But I always love a good pair of bright patterned tights and an oversized shirt for everyday wear.

Style inspirations?
I can’t decide what style I like best. One day I’m stuck in the 90s, the next I belong in an Elvis film.

Tunes on repeat?
Crystal by Stevie Nicks and Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine are two favourite songs right now. They’re tracks that put you in the best mood, always.

Favourite read?
I’m the read-half-a-book type of girl. Embarrassingly, the only books I’ve ever read from front to back was the Twilight series during high school. My Norton Anthology of Poetry, a uni textbook, is my favourite of all my books. Geek much?

Last cooking success?
I think it would have had to be a toasted sandwich or something of similar skill. I’m no Masterchef.

Perfect day?
Wake up in my New York studio apartment where I live with my boyfriend (Emile Hirsch, duh) and our cat (currently unnamed). Get dressed and hail a taxi to the head office of NYLON magazine (my place of employment) and make this month’s issue look rad. Hail another taxi and have dinner with my friends before heading back to the apartment for sleep time.
