I grew up in a predominantly Caucasian community, and most of my friends had blonde hair and blue eyes. So I was always straightening my hair, wearing colored contacts, and I never tanned, if I could help it.
American Eagle clothing is stylish, flattering and all about embracing your individuality.
For everyday, Rebecca Minkoff’s collection is chic and comfortable at the same time.
I love colorful things. I think the world is so beautiful because of all the different colors. With my feed, I really like it to be a rainbow effect, very colorful and vibrant, and just showing happy moments.
Once, I had to clip a jacket back to take a picture, and after they were done I forgot to remove the clip until someone noticed.
I’m a fan of designers and clothes that look beautiful, but more importantly, make me feel beautiful and confident. It’s why I’ve always loved Stella McCartney, and more recently, Prabal Gurung. Their pieces are cool, yet timeless, and the fits are effortlessly flattering.
It didn’t take me very long to realize that modeling wasn’t very satisfying. I was always asking people, ‘How are you going to set up this shot? How will it be lit?’ And they’d say, ‘Stop. Just pose.’ I had a problem with that.
My mom grew up in the Philippines, and she would use coconut oil. I put that in my hair always – literally, natural coconut oil that you use for cooking. I use that for my cuticles and dry spots on my skin too.
I can’t live without mousse. When my hair is damp I put it at the roots. When I blow dry my hair it makes it so much bouncier. It gives you shampoo commercial hair and makes your blowout so much better.
I work with a cause called the Somaly Mam Foundation, and that is my purpose in life, above anything else. Everything that I do, I’m thinking about girls. As strong as we are, we’re also sensitive, and I feel like men take advantage of that.
I’m a fan of things I can get done fast! It feels awesome because it heats up in your hand, and leaves your skin tingly and clean.
Take that one thing you don’t like about yourself and more often than not that’s the one thing that makes you more special. Whether it’s that gap in your teeth, or that mole you never liked, or your skin color.
I’m a huge pasta and pizza lover. I can eat those every single day.
I love working out. Dance classes are my favorite.
Coconut oil has always been my favorite. Any dry spots I have I’ll put coconut oil on them because it’s a natural ingredient and it works better than anything.
I love to use beets as a lip tint. It lasts all day.
I actually just rock-climbed when I was away on vacation and now I’m searching out rock climbing gyms. That’s my new obsession for 2013.
I’d define my everyday style as put together, but also comfortable. A great pair of jeans and a cute top can be so versatile.
I think it would be cute to marry your high school sweetheart, but I think it would also be nice to be sitting on a plane with somebody who lives across the world from you.
My daily beauty regimen is definitely always in the mornings, and at night, always washing my face with a basic cleanser. I also use a moisturizer with SPF to follow up.
There’s nothing worse than seeing someone chewing gum on the red carpet!
