THOROUGHLY CHARMED! WITH CAROLINE VREELAND
How did you meet Lewis? He came up to me at a party; he acted so familiar. I thought, “Who is this cute guy?” Then I saw him talking to Carine [Roitfeld] and she said, “Honey, that’s Lewis, how could you not know?” We got tagged in photos together on Instagram, and he sent one to me. I looked at it and thought, “I love this guy!” Ever since, we’ve been close. My boyfriend and I watch his races all the time. I’m a super fan, and a granny who tells him to buckle up and be safe. He laughs at me. Was he hitting on you by sending the pic? Totally. I need all the attention I can get! You’re really tight with Tommy. I’ve been working with the brand for the past few years, and they’ve been so accepting of me. I’m not the perfect cookie-cutter blogger type. They’ve always supported me. The fact that they go above and beyond for all their s**t, that’s how I like to live my life. I’m the most extra, and so are they.

FANBOY MOMENT! WITH VIC MENSA
How are you doing? What’s your relationship like with Tommy? I’m all good! He’s legendary. When I was in high school I would buy vintage Tommy Hilfiger on eBay. Are you a fan of racing? I drive fast. What’s up next for you? A lot of legendary s**t.
