What have you been doing this summer? “I've been doing makeup at Nordstrom.”
How would you describe your sense of style? “Leather. Black. Black and leather. I think almost all of my clothes have some sort of leather in them.”
What are you wearing tonight? “Tonight, I'm wearing a dress I got from Urban Outfitters. It's, I think, a vegan leather with this pleated skirt thing. The bracelets are Alex & Ani energy bracelets. They're really tight. I guess they're made with energy infused in them? Like, this one's an Ohm, which represents peace. This other one is a Ra, which is protection.”
Are you a big believer in that stuff, or do you just think they look good? “Oh, I'm totally a believer. I've got the rings, too. I've got them in everything. My necklace is a Chakra crystal necklace with all the different Chakra points on it and a big quartz crystal with the healing points on it. I dunno. I just think it's cool. Mother Nature and all that.”
