Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale 2018: FAQ + Sizing Guide

The After Party Sale is almost here!! As you know, I've been a big fan of Lilly for many years now and this is far and away the best time of the year for us. The After Party Sale happens twice a year and it's coming up THIS Monday -- September 10th!

(top and skirt not on sale but still very cute!!)

I was lucky enough to go into the Madison Ave store before the sale started to take some photos of items that will be included in the sale. Fun fact: the sale starts TODAY in store! So if you have one near by, go check it out. There are a lot of great items but there will probably be a better section online Monday morning.

So here is what you need to know about the sale before we get into the items on sale:

1. The sale starts Monday September 10th at 8am ET(ish) and ends Wednesday September 12th at midnight ET.

I usually log on Sunday night (more below) to my account so I can log in and be ready to go Monday morning. Logging on around 7:30 and patiently waiting for the site to go live and to be placed in the virtual line. **One thing to note: you cannot shop via the iOS app this year -- only online (computer, tablet, phone).

2. You need an account to shop the sale

You can make an account HERE. I would suggest doing this before the sale so all of your information (address, CC info) is updated and ready to go. Placing things in your shopping cart does not mean that it's yours. It's a first come first serve sale so get what you can! Would hate to miss out on a sale due to not having your information updated. 

3. You should sign into your account today!

The site goes down in preparation for the sale the night before and will not be live (the entire Lilly Pulitzer site) until the sale goes live. To save yourself some time, login tonight and make sure everything is up to date and ready to go!

4. Day of the sale there will be a virtual line -- do NOT refresh your page.

This is a pro tip -- the page will automatically refresh and it will place you in a virtual line for the sale. The earlier you're on the site the sooner you will get in so refreshing it makes it seem like you just got there and it will place you in the back.

Also, don't hesitate if you're number like 40,000 in line. The line moves really fast and there will be plenty of items to go around!

5. All sales are final

The catch with the sale is that everything is final sale. So you really want to be sure that you're getting what you love but also make sure that you know your correct sizing information! Lilly Pulitzer runs TTS for the *most* part in dresses and (IMO) runs big in tops, TTS in pants. I'm normally a 6 in dresses, 8 in pants and a small in tops.

They have this really great thing on their site called the "true fit" profile. Just answer a few questions and they can suggest the best size for their items for you! It's kind of brilliant.

We also have (below) reviews and sizing guide information for a ton of items in the sale. Like said above I'm normally a 6/m in dresses, 8/29 in pants. For general guide I'm 5'6, 150 with a 34DD chest. (note that the items aren't on sale yet but will update the links when they are live Monday!)

Our Ultimate Guide: How to Clean Beauty Tools

Did you know that you’re supposed to be cleaning your beauty tools as often as you wash your sheets or clean your countertops? And in case you haven’t been keeping up with cleaning recommendations, that’s about once a week – at least. If I’m being honest, I don’t clean my makeup brushes nearly enough. Not only are dirty brushes gross, but they’re also one of the top causes of acne and irritation. But regularly cleaning your beauty tools will keep bacteria and build up off your skin and out of your pores. Plus it will protect your investment, prolong the life of your tools and save your hard earned money.

Here’s how to keep everything from your brushes to loofahs squeaky clean.

Dry brush

Fill a small bowl with half an inch of water. Add 3-4 drops of tea tree oil (or any essential oil you have on hand) and a little bit of liquid castile soap. Place the brush bristle-side down in the bowl and slosh it around for a minute without getting the wood wet. Rinse the bowl and fill it with plain water, then slosh the bristles again to rinse the soap off. Place the brush on a towel, bristles down, to dry.

Clarisonic

Remove the brush head. Squirt a few drops of dish soap on your fingers and scrub the bristles and crevices thoroughly. Rinse with cool water and set the brush head aside to dry overnight. Reattach to the handle once the head is completely dry.

Jade Roller

After each use, use a soft towel and warm water to wipe the roller head clean. Dry with a towel.

Once a week, sanitize your jade roller by spritzing the roller with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol or vodka and wiping clean.

Nail tools and tweezers

Metal tools should washed with antibacterial soap and water and scrubbed with an old toothbrush. Then clean the edges with a cotton ball or q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol to kill any lingering bacteria.

Plastic tools like toe separators and cuticle sticks should be wiped down with rubbing alcohol after each use.

Beauty blender

Dampen your beauty blender slightly and apply a dime-sized amount of castile soap or dish liquid. Massage the soap in to the sponge, focusing on the dirtiest parts. Hold the sponge under running water and continue squeezing it until the water runs clear and you don’t see any more suds. Roll the sponge on a clean towel and set aside to dry.

Curling iron and flat irons

With the iron unplugged, wet a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe down the surface. You may need to use several cotton balls to remove product build up and gunk. Finish by wiping off the surface with plain water and then dry with a soft cloth.

Makeup brushes

First, wet the brush head with warm water. Squeeze a bit of dish soap in the palm of your hand and swish the bristles in the soap for 30 seconds. Rinse with warm water, keeping the handle dry as best you can. Squeeze the water from the bristles and lay the brush flat on a towel to dry overnight.

Shower loofahs

After each use, rinse the loofah well and shake out any remaining water.

Once a week, soak the sponge in a 1:1 mixture of water and white vinegar. Let sit for five minutes then rinse well and let dry.

Plastic hair brushes and combs

Remove as much hair as possible. Dampen the brush with water, and using your hands, work a bit of shampoo into the bristles. Fill a sink with warm water and let the brush soak for 15 minutes. Rinse well and set aside to dry.

For brushes and combs with wooden parts, clean them like you would clean a dry brush (above).

Eyelash curler

Wet a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe down all surfaces that come near your eyes. Rinse the curler with warm water and let dry overnight.

Cheryl Cole Opens Up About Her Breakup With Liam Payne

Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole might have officially split over the summer, but the former couple and parents of little Bear are still keeping things amicable.

In a new interview with The Daily Mail, Cheryl opened up about their post-breakup life. “There's no animosity whatsoever. We are learning all the time,” she said of their relationship today. “And it's good, it's healthy. We're just like any other couple that have gone through this, but we have a few more eyes watching us...just a few.”

Cheryl also added that their son Bear has changed her perspective on fame and life in the public eye, saying, “'Having Bear has helped. I have a different purpose now. Before, I would work and work and work, and that was the main subject in my life — and now he is.”

Cheryl and Liam first met on the set of The X-Factor, which is, of course, the TV show where One Direction was eventually formed. She was a judge and he was a contestant, and according to Liam, he’d always had a crush on her. “She's been my dream girl since I was younger. She's so ace,” he said in a 2017 interview.

They confirmed their relationship via Instagram in 2016, and welcomed baby Bear the year after. Cheryl and Liam weathered a great deal of attention and more than their fair share of cheating rumors during their relationship, and formally split in July of 2018, noting that they “still have so much love for each other as a family.” Despite their high-profile relationship and breakup, it looks like they’re doing the best they can for themselves and their son — and that both Cheryl and Liam have a lot of respect, care, and love for each other.

6 Beach-Body Secrets for a Smooth Bikini Line and Glowy Skin

A smooth, itchless bikini line that looks all but Photoshopped is actually easier to get than you think. No matter the texture of your hair, removing it—whether you wax, thread, or even laser—doesn’t have to lead to bumps, redness, itchiness, or ingrowns.

The bikini-line essentials in the below routine from Fur (a female-founded brand that’s cracked the code on modern hair-removal products) are soothing, bump-discouraging, and clean and nontoxic—and they’re brilliant even if you don’t remove hair at all. Made with skin-smoothing botanical extracts and calming oils, they also work better than any of the conventional bikini-line solutions we’ve tried. And trust: We’ve tried a lot.

1

Soothe Your Skin

This jojoba-infused stubble cream is such an itch-obliterating miracle that we actually bring it with us to the waxing salon (and of course keep it at home for shaving, too). Beyond soothing irritated skin, it helps prevent shaving bumps, as well as soften regrowth. Smooth it on immediately after waxing or shaving or before bed so it can work go to work while you sleep. It’s just as brilliant for underarms, legs, happy trails, even the face—it’s truly life-changing if hair removal ever bothers your skin at all.

Fur Stubble Cream goop, $38

Fur Fur Oil goop, $46

2

Moisturize Skin and Hair

Moisturizing skin, whether it’s your face, body, or bikini line, leaves it plump, healthy, and less prone to irritation. Conditioning the bikini area with a hydrating oil (this one is light enough to melt in without clogging pores) can make a huge difference in terms of eliminating bumps and ingrowns. The jojoba-and-grape-seed base is supercharged with tea tree oil and clary sage. Smooth it onto your pubic hair and skin a few times a week (it also works on any area you want to remove hair from). Because the oil has a softening effect, it makes waxing a lot less painful—just use it the night before.

3

Exfoliate Regularly

Regularly exfoliating your face ensures it’s healthy and glowy and keeps your pores clear and unclogged. The same principle applies to the bikini area. Using a gentle scrub to sweep away dead skin cells lessens the chance of ingrowns. This scrub is specifically designed to treat the bikini line and exfoliates with a combination of gentle jojoba beads and lactic acid. It’s gentle enough to use daily in the shower, ensuring that the next time you shave, wax, thread, or even laser, your skin is left flawless and silky.

Pro tip: If you’re shaving, a sharp (as in, one pass should suffice) blade makes a world of difference. The friction of going over the area multiple times inevitably leads to irritation, as does the pressure you need to exert when you use a dull blade. Shaving in the direction of the hair growth can also help minimize ingrowns.

Fur Silk Scrub goop, $48

Bonus: Body-Glow Essentials

and the Perfect Bikini

Now that you’ve got your bikini area perfected and can laze, cartwheel, and yoga it up on the beach with abandon, there’s the rest of your body to think of.

Body-Glow Lotion

Pure magic on every skin type, this light, hydrating lotion uses light-reflecting minerals to add the sexiest subtle sheen to skin. We’re particularly obsessed with it for shiny, gleamy legs. For real, omg.

goop Beauty GOOPGLOW Body Luminizer goop, $48

Self-Tanner

If you want some color, this ingenious tanning water conjures a gorgeous, sun-warmed burnish. Plus it’s clear, so you can literally roll around in white sheets after applying it with zero consequences.

Vita Liberata Invisi Foaming Tan Water goop, $39

The Bikini of the Summer

Just the right amount of skimpy, stretchy, and wildly flattering, this bikini is the perfect cut—and the perfect olive-green shade—to show off gorgeous, glowy skin, not to mention your new smooth-as-silk bikini line.

Meg's Magazine Mash Up 08/2018: Part 2

My waistcoat bodice dress is coming along great and I love the fun leopard print! I can’t wait to wear it over various sweaters and T-shirts depending on the weather. This week I finished up sewing the bodice complete with buttons, and then attached the skirt and inserted the invisible zipper.

Last week I ended off with stitching the opening for the shoulder seam to attach the inner and outer bodices. Here is the view once it is stitched and ready to be pulled to the right side. I made sure to backstitch well at each start and end point overlapping about 1".

I reached my hand back in and pulled out the inner bodice from the outer.

Then gave those edges a really nice press! I just love how this finishes both the inside and outside at the shoulder seam.

View from the right side.

I repeated for my other front and now I have my two complete bodices ready to be attached at the front.

According to the center front markings on the pattern, I overlapped the fronts and positioned my buttons.

I placed a pin on the outer edge to keep in place while I hand stitched my buttons.

To prevent the fronts for flipping up to much, I did some hand tacking at the seamline and the corner.

Now it is time for the skirts! The skirt is super simple, I first serge-finished all my edges and then stitched the side seams right sides together and pressed open.

I placed my skirt on my finished bodice, right sides together, and stitched. Then I serge-finished all my allowances together and pressed downwards.

Front view! Looking great so far! At this point I also serge-finished my center back back edges separately.

Before I pinned my zipper in place, I pressed the teeth away from the tape. Then starting at the top, I pinned my zipper right side down on one of my center back edges.

I stitched down one side of my zipper with my invisible zipper foot, and then pin and stitched the other side to my center back.

After my zipper was sewn on both back edges, I shifted my zipper tape to the side and pinned the rest of my center back seam down to the hem. Using my piping foot, I stitched from the bottom of my zipper to the hem and press my allowances open.

To keep my garment consistent with no topstitching, I used fusible tape to press my hem allowance up in place.

All finished!

Can’t wait to wear and photograph my jumper and share it with you all.

Happy Sewing!

Mike Pence Is Under Fire for Appearing with a Fake Rabbi to Commemorate the Pittsburgh Shooting

SAUL LOEB

The rabbi is a member of a group that's accused of cosplaying Judaism.

After the deadly shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend, local communities have been banding together to show support and give comfort to the victims and their families. That includes Muslim-led interfaith fundraising and statements of solidarity.

The White House, on the other hand, has had a less supportive and more chaotic response. Donald Trump—who tacitly eggs on anti-Semitism with his talk of globalist conspiracies and the menace of George Soros—reportedly had to be convinced by his daughter and son-in-law to formally condemn violence against Jewish people. Kellyanne Conway tried to all-lives-matter the shooting by telling Fox & Friends it was inspired by "anti-religiousity" fueled by late-night comics. And Mike Pence, the man who's supposed to be the respectable white-washer for the Trump administration, also royally botched his pantomime of caring about religious diversity.

On Monday, Pence appeared at a campaign rally for Lena Epstein, a GOP candidate for an open congressional seat in Michigan. At the rally, he invited to the stage Rabbi Loren Jacobs for a memorial for the 11 people killed in Pittsburgh. The problem: Jacobs is a "Messianic Jew," a sect that believes in the divinity of Jesus. In fact, Jacobs invoked Jesus in his opening prayer.

As NBC News reports, Messianic Judaism "is not recognized as Jewish by any mainstream Jewish movement in the United States, or by the Chief Rabbinate, the supreme spiritual authority for Judaism in Israel." Per their own website, one of their goals is converting Jewish people to believe that Jesus is the messiah.

While, for what it's worth, Pence didn't arrange for Jacobs to appear at the rally, but by all accounts he did invite him onto the stage. He's drawn fierce criticism for appearing with him so shortly after a mass shooting at a synagogue. It certainly doesn't help that, instead of saying the traditional Jewish prayer for the dead, Jacobs prayed for a series of Republican candidates off a list he was given.

This is a good indication of what exactly Republicans are referring to when they call for "unity not division" after national tragedies: the steamrolling continuation of whatever their agenda already was and quiet acceptance from the people who were victimized.

Styled Social Philadelphia: Lush Garden Wedding Inspiration with Summer Peonies

Lovers of peonies and connoisseurs of astilbe, united! Cause today’s lush garden wedding inspo (and Part 2 of our Styled Social Philadelphia) is in full summer bloom. Cupid must have shot his arrow because boy, are we hooked on the outdoor fireplace wedding ceremony with climbing florals that transitions into the indoor garden reception with a mauve velveteen table as the focal point. You just might erupt with praise over the local talent that crafted every darling detail, so read on for more of the good stuff!

These soft, romantic images from Lauren Fair Photography are simply kissed by the sun, with an otherworldly sort of glow every couple dreams about for their wedding day portraits.

A bundle of happiness from Lauren of Belovely, who we’re pretty sure has a magic green thumb because these blooms are BEYOND gorgeous!

We couldn’t imagine a dreamier locale for this modern garden mood than the newly opened Terrain Gardens (aka Anthro Outdoors!). With a moody black fireplace, show-stopping bistro lights and suspended greenery indoors, we were pretty thrilled to call this unique wedding venue our Styled Social stomping grounds for the day!

A naturally tossed up ‘do from Top Knots by Aimee gives the inspiration the perfect balance of organic beauty and thoughtful arrangement. Paired with an au naturale makeup look by Shimmer and Spice, it’s a recipe for success every time.

These wishbone chairs, though! Perfectly coordinated + set by Feather & Rock Events, we’re bookmarking every angle of this contemporary tablescape with elegant details.

Now, House of Catherine is giving us a taste of the future with these calligraphed acrylic menus (and an invitation suite that’s both black + white AND *read* all over).

We’d be in denial to say that we haven’t been thinking about this pretty pink wedding dessert from Clara’s Groovy Deliciousness at all hours of the day. Every day.

Don’t you just adore these furniture + tabletop items from Party Rental? We’ll take one of everything please!

We’re a big fan of the off-the-shoulder bridal gown, so this classy stunner from Liberty & Lace Bridal had us at hello!

What’s this? Oh, just another taste of HEAVEN from L. Priori Jewelry in this alternative wedding band set!

We’re gearing up for our next Styled Socials where wedding photographers will have the opportunity to shoot a full-scale editorial like this one, produced by us and designed by a team of handpicked local vendors. We’d love to see you there!

The Belt Bag

 Wearing: Frame jacket, Christopher Esber trousers, A.Emery slides, Parisa Wang x Zanita belt bag 

I love it when my friends totally nail it with their work. One of my favourite women in my life, Zanita, has teamed up with Parisa Wang to design this super chic belt bag, or bum bag as its lovingly called in Aus.

The perfect finishing touch for this all black look that needed a belt anyway. I love a wrap style jacket or styling a blazer with a waist belt, and this is just the right amount of statement.

The best online-only shampoos and conditioners | Sali Hughes

After mattresses, tights, shower caps and those weird (though curiously tempting) felt slippers, the time has inevitably come for hair brands to circumvent traditional retailing, market relentlessly on Facebook and follow consumers creepily around the internet. “Disruptive brands” are all the rage, and they’re working – I’ve rarely known a more requested product review than one for , a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner in one, by achingly cool US brand Hairstory. Evangelical customers say New Hair has changed their lives, delivering full, silky, manageable hair that finally styles well with much less frequent washing.

I concur it’s an excellent product, but I’m not without reservation. New Hair leaves hair in remarkably great shape (even fine hair, which can respond unfavourably to co-washing, or washing with something closer to conditioner than shampoo): within a week, my hair felt great and looked healthier. But you have to use so much product and rinse for so long, that it’s neither easy nor all that pleasurable. Also, £44 for 236ml of anything that must be used abundantly (albeit infrequently: New  Hair allows longer between washes) is too much, and for that reason I won’t buy it again.

I will, however, be repurchasing , another disruptive brand utilising Harvard scientist tech to blend bespoke shampoo and conditioner (£29, 236ml x 2), according to your answers to a questionnaire about your hair condition and concerns. I was sceptical of what appeared to be a gimmick (you choose the colour and scent), but love these products so much that I look forward to washing my hair. Though sulphate-free, the shampoo lathers richly and rinses away easily. The conditioner (pleasingly available in a bigger or smaller bottle than the shampoo, according to your hair type) causes neither buildup nor droop. Your combination will be different from mine, but I’ve recommended the brand to a diverse group of friends and they’re similarly delighted.

Finally, I must mention , despite being allergic to permanent hair colourant myself (you must perform a skin test first). A professional colourist on this site will blend the colour of your dreams, suited to your hair type and survey answers, from seven quid. If you don’t love it, they’ll refund the lot.

FENDI Showcases Their New F/W Eyewear Collection With Jamie Campbell Bower

41.9028° N, 12.4964° E

The phone rings. “Signor Campbell, a video camera has been delivered”

Reading Time: 2 minutes

FENDI’s resurgence could not have come at a better time. The love for big branding has continued to reign supreme and the Italian luxury brand’s unmistakable double-F fits right in.

There are some items that are best worn under the radar. One of those items is sunglasses. FENDI satisfies this requisite with their new fall/winter 2018 eyewear collection for men.

To help showcase this new range, they have tapped actor and musician, Jamie Campbell Bower, to be the face of the campaign.

The visuals open with Mr. Bower, sporting a pair of FENDI sunglasses, in his opulent hotel suite in Rome, Italy. He had just been delivered a peculiar package containing a video camera. Upon turning on the device, the footage reveals that someone had been following him and documenting his movements throughout the city. In every scene, Mr. Bower is seen in a different pair from the eyewear collection.

This voyeuristic theme speaks to how we often feel sunglasses offer a shade of privacy when we step out into the public sphere. This however, does not apply for Mr. Bower, as his rockstar status is undeniable and he cannot escape the gaze of this unknown videographer.

The collection itself gives off a vintage feel. Every piece is delicately wiry and the detailing is well-appointed. You’ll spot FENDI branding subtly appears upon the bridge of the frames.

If you have yet to update or own a pair of sunglasses, we recommend that you take a good look at the images to the right. You may or may not be a rockstar but you will certainly feel like one with a pair from FENDI’s latest offerings

Discover the full video on FENDI on September 7th, 2018.

It's been exactly one week since Glee star Lea Michele and Zandy Reich tied the knot, and as we continue to pour over every detail of their adorable ceremony, there's some good news for those who wish to recreate the bride's wedding makeup look. As Lea's makeup artist revealed, some of the items in the official wedding day beauty routine are actually super affordable.

Speaking with People, makeup artist Meredith Baraf ran down the complete list of products used in creating Lea's look, which was inspired by actor Sophia Loren. Lea told People that she wanted a "simple" look, saying, "I don’t want to look back, and feel like, ‘I did a high pony because that was cool!’ ...I want it to be something that’s gonna be classic, that I can look back on forever and feel like I made the right decision.”

Based on photos from the big day — which include Lea rocking a chignon — we definitely believe she made the right decision. (TBQH, a bridal high pony sounds equally amazing though.) And as Meredith shared, the makeup used was intended to help Lea truly sparkle. "The whole weekend’s glam was about Lea glowing, looking like herself, about being in the moment and focusing on the love in the room," she said.

Looking to recreate that glow in your own daily beauty routine? Meredith started with the face, using Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels ($30), a ReFa Carat Face Roller ($290), Skyn Iceland Brightening Eye Serum ($35), and black seed oil from Nigella ($14).

Once a "dewy" look for her face was achieved, Meredith moved to the eyes, using Surratt Beauty eyeshadow ($20), Surratt Beauty Auto-Graphique Eyeliner ($42), and a drugstore fave, L'Oreal's Voluminous Butterfly Waterproof Mascara ($7.27).

While we add all of these items to our beauty wishlists and shopping carts, here are even more of our fave mascaras that retail for less than $8.

Ilfenesh Hadera Eats Veggie Burgers For Breakfast

We’ve long been fans of the beautiful Ilfenesh Hadera, whose beauty (both inside and out) was obvious the minute we met her. We caught up with the actress (currently starring in ABC’s Deception, the finale of which airs this Sunday) in NYC to talk about favorite New York meals (she has a lot!), beauty routines and body image…

From start to finish what would be your ideal food day?

I love breakfast, it’s my favorite meal and when it comes to what I eat in the morning I’m a real creature of habit, so my perfect breakfast would be what I’ve been having daily for the last month or two. A Dr. Praeger kale veggie burger. I love the idea of getting my veggies first thing in the AM and in the colder months it’s nice to start with something warm. And I ALWAYS make two skim cappuccinos before I leave the house.

I haven’t been in a long time but I used to love to go to Cafe Cluny for lunch. It’s bright but it’s still cozy and it’s perfectly nestled away – though always lively. I love their tuna burger which comes with a wonderful wasabi mayo and fries. Add a glass of Nebbiolo and I’m happy.

For a post lunch (post wine) pick me up, I might walk over to Sant Ambroeus on Lafayette for a cappuccino to-go – to-go partially because I love their to-go cups.

Dinner’s hard to say because there are so many amazing places in NY, so I have to do it this way – the focaccia from Charlie Bird – bathed in olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt, crunchy crust, warm and soft inside, little rosemary to finish. For appetizers, I’d do the Insalata Verde from Via Carota which is a tower of crisp leafy greens lightly dressed in a sherry shallot vinaigrette. The tuna tart from Bond St sushi, which I could eat every day for every meal, and the leeks from Pasquale Jones which are cooked with walnuts and parmigiano reggiano (my grandmother now does her own version after falling in love with theirs). Entree would have to be the steak au poivre from Raoul’s, extra au poivre sauce on the side. I’m not huge on dessert but birthday truffles from Momofuku Milk Bar are my weakness. And wine with that! Lots of red wine.

How do you practice beauty from the inside out?

To me physical beauty is lovely but there’s nothing so special about it. A. Anyone can pay for pretty and B. If you were born what our society considers classically beautiful or handsome, it was only by luck, you didn’t do anything to earn it. I think if you approach beauty that way it’s impossible not to see the value of internal beauty; kindness, compassion, generosity. When that light’s on inside, people will notice you and for all the best reasons.

What are your morning and nightly beauty routines?

Mornings are pretty simple, I use the Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Extra strength Daily peel followed by the SK-II R.N.A Power face cream. If I’m not working or auditioning I prefer to go wothout much makeup so I’ll do brows – Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color, Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara, and Sephora brand black liquid eyeliner. At night I use Caudalie makeup removing cleansing oil, Kate Somerville’s detox daily cleanser and then the SK-II mosturizer again. My skin is the best it’s ever looked since I started using it; it’s hydrating but never greasy. Finally, I put on some Dior Creme de Rose smoothing plumping lip balm and I’m ready for bed.

What are your favorite workouts?

The Dogpound is my home away from home; it’s my perfect place. From the trainers, to the other clients, to the facility itself…It’s impossible to step foot in that gym and not feel motivated by the hard work and enthusiasm of everyone in the room. The trainers are top notch and they really listen to your fitness goals and push you to achieve those goals. On days that I don’t go to DP I love flywheel for some good old-fashioned cardio and the Barre classes at Exhale.

What were you always insecure about growing up, and how did you overcome it?

I think that insecurites come and go – hopefully go more than come – so at different stages in my life I’m sure I was insecure about different things. When I grew nearly twelve inches the summer before 8th grade I imagine and went back to school feeling a little awkward. I wasn’t necessarily aware of that insecurity, but an older friend one day pointed out how bad my posture was. I can still see thirteen-year-old me leaning SO deep into my hip to make myself shorter. Thank God she snapped me out of that. I don’t know where it came from but from about that age my feeling was and still is, for the things you can’t change – height, cup size, that area of your body that never looks quite the way you want it to – embrace it! It’s yours.

What advice would you have for young women struggling with body image?

Just that. To embrace yourself and love where you came from, your history, your ancestry. I’m a product of my mother and father whom I love fiercely as well as all those who came before. I am them, the best and the worst of me and I love seeing them when I look in the mirror.

What foods and drink do you love? Which do you avoid and why?

I like simple food. Grilled or baked vegetables, meat and fish are my favorite. I really think less is more when you’re working with fresh and in-season ingredients. I won’t drink soda or fruit juice and I don’t eat candy. Luckily I have very little taste for the sugary stuff.

What three things are you coveting right now?

I just got a beautiful new sofa so I shouldnt say this but the Montauk Jane sofa would be heaven to park my butt on every night

I don’t wear a watch but if I did it would be this one.

A custom made gold signet ring from Rebus.

What are the hair products you can’t live without?

I love the Aveda Men Pure-Formance shampoo and conditioner as well as Acai Buriti Maracuja Oil.

If you could put a quote on a t-shirt to sum up your current mood and mode, what would it be?

I’m not sure. Moods are ever-changing and I could sport a shirt today that I’d want to burn by next week. If I had to pick though, it’d be something about gratitude as an expression of my appreciation for a wonderful life or a reminder on the days I’ve forgotten.
