Describe your favorite fan experience. Well, okay. I have a lot. I don't know if I could ever choose one favorite fan experience, and that's not just me saying that. I have a really cool kind of singular relationship with my fans because it took me forever to even acknowledge the fact that I had fans. That's so confusing to me. As a human being, you see yourself through all of your stages. I remember what I looked like with braces. I remember who I was in my onesies when I was like four. To think of that human having people who see something different or aspire or whatever, relate to on a massive scale is just strange. It's definitely not something that I think every human is born feeling. It's not a natural thing that happens to everybody. It took me a really long time to sort of get my brain around that and then once I did, it was like I don't want to have a separation between me and my fans. I want it to be like a friendship. If you see something in me that you relate to and connect with, I probably do too. If I were to get to know you, but there's so many of you that I can't really get to know every single one of you. I have this really friendly give and take with them and the other day I was in New York and I just hit up like four of them, randomly. I was like, "Hey. I know that you guys live in New York. What are you doing tomorrow?" They were like, "Oh, nothing." We went and we got fries and then we got our nails done. It was just totally spur of the moment. We spent like the whole day together and they picked out my nail polish color. We ordered a lot of fries. It was amazing. Then later, one of those fans actually had me draw a heart and she got it tattooed on her wrist. I thought that was kind of amazing. Not that I'm condoning that, but it was just so sweet. It was one of the most permanent things that I've ever seen and I love that. Funniest or most memorable red carpet ever? See, I'm terrible at a red carpet. I just will never learn. I see all these photos of these girls in red carpets and like, okay I can do that. 24
MODEL DIARIES Q&A's Interview by JILL WINKLER
Then I get on there and I see myself in photo shoots and that person knows how to pose. On a red carpet, I do not know how to pose. I don't know what happens to me, I think I just get anxious. There's too much going on. I see the same faces and so sometimes I'll have conversations with the paparazzi on the red carpet. You get a lot of me being real, like with spit coming out of my mouth, being like “hey!” I haven't fallen yet. Now that I've said that I'm going to fall. Every one is memorable because I just lose my mind on red carpets. I have to embrace the fact that I'm a ridiculous human and they're all memorable when you're me. Who is someone you would love to costar with in the future? Wow. My two male actors that I'm obsessed with are Stanley Tucci and David Tennant. I love them so much. I feel like I know them. I'm like a fangirl. I'm obsessed with them. I also love Lee Pace. I fell in love with him during his Pushing Daisies days. That kind of comes fast. Then for women, I love Jessica Lang. Who else do I love? Obviously Meryl Streep. Kristin Chenoweth was my main hero that I really wanted to meet and spend time with. We've obviously built a really incredible working relationship. I want to work with her for the rest of my life. It's a lot. We heard you're working on a new singing career. Can you tell us about that and what can we expect for your first single? I'm really excited about my music. I have been waiting a long time to be able to do what I think I'm about to do. It's been my dream and I hate that, “my dream”, but it has. It's been my dream and part of my goals and part of who I am and my spirit and my bones since I was alive in the world. Having people be like, “Hey do you want to do this? We'll give you the resources to do this.” and having people be like,
"We want to hear it!" is really surreal and awesome. I'm excited. That's definitely coming. 2017 is going to be a really big year. I can't speak too much on it, but in terms of my first single, it's definitely going to be exciting. I think a lot of my fans can anticipate what it's going to sound like. I think a lot of you can't. I'm really excited about that, excited to show what the inside of my body is like. That sounded strange. I'm excited to show you what I am on the inside. That's what it's going to sound like. Where do you draw your inspiration from when creating music? When I'm creating music, I draw my inspiration from honestly not even experiences. I know that every song writer in the world is like, my personal experiences. I've tried to do that, but they all just end up sounding like really ridiculous. They get too wordy. My mother is a poet and my dad was a pianist and so I just get really wordy and I'm like, it's not exactly how I feel. I just give up on it. I get really angry and I walk away. There's like pages and pages of me being like, “oh.” I write like, it's going to sound so lame, but vibes. I write based on whenever I've been in the room and I'm like writing with a group, or with somebody else, I'm very sensory. I love really nostalgic feeling songs, songs that can make anyone universally hit that thing in them. We all know what that is. We all know that thing. We all know those feelings and that stuff. That stuff that is like the life energy that we all feel and it can hit us sometimes. We're like, oh. It's that breath. I feel like I like to write about that. You know, it's like being a human is like being a beam of light. Then, whoever you are that day is just like a different gel over that. Have you ever looked up at a stage and see these lights. They have like a blue gel, or a red gel, or a purple gel and that's what's creating the light on stage. That's what being a human is, right? It's like we're all just lights and then it's like different gels over us. That's what songwriting is like. It's like you get a light, get a feeling, and then you just put a different gel over it. You vibe?

How would you describe your everyday style. I wear the same pair of jeans and t-shirts and little Adidas sneakers every day with my hair up and some red lipstick. That's kind of it actually. That's kind of my style. Or I wear some crazy “costumey” look, like I found it in the back of a thrift store and pair it with huge combat boots. I don't know. I also like to sort of dress like a big, baggy sweatshirts as dresses. What is your current handbag? I just got a little baby Celine bucket bag that I'm really obsessed with. I never used to be into bags, but now I have. It looks like a little lunch box. You can throw it over your shoulder and also just sit in the side of my car because I stop and go really fast. I'm a crazy driver. It doesn't fall over. It's got a very stable bottom to it. I'm practical, you know? What kinds of accessories do you gravitate towards when putting together an outfit? I love chokers. I'm not going to lie. I get mad at myself for how much I like a choker. I gravitate towards, I have like 80 chokers, like so many. I have my “Little” necklace that I wear all the time that Kristin Chenoweth gave me and that's kind of became my nickname, “Little”. People call me that. Then I obviously I have my bracelet from my boyfriend that I wear all the time with everything. What are you looking forward to most with summer fashion? White, everybody is always all about the white in summer and white is my number one favorite color to wear. I'm looking forward to, I really want huge platform stuff this summer. I'm sort of paying attention to what I want instead of trends. Yeah, I'm feeling like a white bohemian Twiggy vibe for this summer. Lots of platforms and satin ribbons. What are your three must have beauty products? Ooh. I love a thick brow. I love a little boy brow action. I have crazy eyelashes naturally so I used to be obsessed with mascara and I'm not really any more. . I prefer sort of a fresher face. I like a little highlight, just like dewiness and maybe. I found this lip liner that is the exact same color as my lips and so if I do a little
bit of lip liner, a little bit of highlight, and a little bit of brow. I've just woken up from a fairy princess dream. That's kind of my life goal all the time. Having been on set with so many different make up artists, what are some tips you've taken away to use in your own beauty routine? Okay. Listen up. Highlight on the inner corner of the eye. Highlight on the tip of the nose. Highlight on the bow of your lips. That will change your life. Brushing your brows up instead of this way. What else? Oh, my make up artist and I, I'm looking at her right now. She's like my second mother. What we like to do is take instead of a full eyelash strip because I feel like that closes my eyes and my eyes are fairly big naturally, because of the nature of my face they can just get closed. We'll cut a lash strip in half and then just do straight from here out and then do a couple individuals here. Then we take the part that we've cut off and double layer it to make like a crazy wing. I just changed your life.
communication, by taking your opinions into consideration in terms of what I do, and keeping that lack of wall between us. I can't describe what it feels like to be on the other side of you guys but it's one of the biggest blessings in my life. Thank you so much for what you do every day. I love you.
What kind of look do you go for when doing your own makeup? I'm obsessed with makeup recently. I never used to be a makeup girl at all. I used to be terrible at it. You can travel back in time with me and you can verify. I tend to do everything. On my typical day, I don't wear any makeup because I'm lazy. Usually my hair is up and back and I'm fresh faced. I like everything. I've had a great year so far in 2017 in terms of shoots, crazy variety of hair and makeup. It's just so fascinating. It's like art. It's like wearable art. I do the full range. What would you like to say to your fans? Obviously, thank you for the immense support. Fan and idol relationship is so interesting and singular by nature because it's taking a stand and saying, "I associate with this person. I align myself with this person. I support them. I follow them." You have never met me. You might never meet me. That's something so gorgeous about being a human and the way our society works. I think that that's one of the most interesting relationships to come out of the way that we work today. It's like you're family but you chose me. My way of choosing you back is by being good to you, by giving you what you want, by keeping in

THE COOL GIRL'S GUIDE TO SUMMER BEAUTY TRENDS Six statement-making hair and makeup looks that you need for Summer.
COLOR POP
When it comes to eyes this season, pick a color, any color and then make it pop. Try something more playful like jewel tones-emerald and sapphire blue. Start by filling-in your entire lid with a creamy and colorful eyeliner to get the maximum opacity. Then sweep a matching shadow across your entire lid.
TRY: Smashbox Cover Shot: Eye Palettes- Bold $29 smashbox.com 30
GO GRAPHIC Instead of tracing your traditional cat-eye liner, continue the line done toward your inner corners, then about half-way across your bottom lashlines.
TRY: Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick- Quick Fine Eyeliner Pen In Panther $30 charlottetilbury.com

REACH FOR RED
Try a more relaxed red lip this season. Strip away almost all other makeup going for natural skin and nude eyes and then put all your focus on creating a statement cherry lip done in a velvety matte finish. This bright lip looks just about as cool as it comes.
Try: Doucce Luscious Lip Stain in Ruby Red $28 doucce.com 32
THE GLOSS
Try pairing a dramatic matte, rosy pink blush flush with glossy lids. A matte finish blush is the most important item to add to your makeup arsenal this season, Sweep color on the apples of your cheeks toward your temples. Skip mascara and eyeshadow, opting instead for a clear eye gloss dashed across both lids.
TRY: Laura Mercier Windflush Colour Powder for Cheeks & Eyes $40 lauramercier.com 33
SHINE ON
This summer, we can't get enough of glowing, shiny, sparkly skin. Swipe a cream highlighter over your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, along your cupid's bow, and dab it on the inner corners of your eyes. Don't apply a drop of other makeup except for a touch of concealer here or there.

SUMMER FASHION TRENDS TO KNOW NOW
BRALETTES Namely: Bralettes Over buttoned-up shirts. Miu Miu, showed bralettes in the form of ruched Fifties bikini tops worn over utilitarian dresses and Victoria Beckham paired bralettes with everything, including suits giving a feisty take on office wear. Consider this glass ceiling ammunition. 40Image: Victoria Beckham
FUCHSIA
Think Pink- Valentino gave the ultimate pink pop with its cape/dress hybrid. Do you dare? Image: Valentino
KITTEN HEELS
The ultimate French street style. And‌ we all know that where the French style set leads, we follow. Image: Dior
41
DECONSTRUCTED SHIRTING If you don’t have a blue striped shirt in your wardrobe now, buy one, and do the buttons up wrong. While there was one-shouldered sexy shirting at Victoria Beckham, Alexander Wang had a more of a chopped up version adding extra sleeves, collars and cuffs. Image: Alexander Wang
42
EIGHTIES We’re facing a full-on revival. Eighties was large this season as Saint Laurent imagined young girls going through their mother's old YSL and pilfering the bits they liked: velvet, sweetheart neckline mini dresses, cropped smoking jackets and lots of metallics. Image: Saint Laurent
43
TULLE Calling all wannabe ballerinas: tulle will be everywhere this summer. Molly Goddard presented it in tutus of stylish navy and brazen party pink, with lots of frothy layers. Image: Molly Goddard
44
SPORTSWEAR Versace had the most fun with the trend, studding tracksuit tops with crystals, leggings and drawstring-pulled nylon pants. Image: Versace
45
SKEWED SKIRT HEMLINES
46
The only consensus on hemlines? There is no consensus. Erratic, asymmetric, handkerchief, layered and unpredictable. Where will yours take you? Image: Marni
47
MINI BAGS Bags are tiny this Summerjust big enough for a lipstick. ChloĂŠ attached its mini bags to gold bracelet bangles. Image: ChloĂŠ

SUMMER’S MOST FASHION-FORWARD BEDDING: Lili Alessandra
Want to learn how to create the comfiest and chicest bed? We enlisted Sandra Hernandez Yedor President and Founder of Lili Alessandra, herself to help us put together a list of bedding essentials and their tips to creating the coziest haven for rest and retreat. This uber chic line is well-versed in the language of luxury and will have you catching up on your beauty sleep in no time. Sweet dreams!
84
85
86
What was your inspiration behind the creation of the Lili Alessandra line? Sandra: Lili Alessandra was created as a turning point in my life. I made a big decision to walk away from a successful career in retail to starting over from scratch and having my own business. I was at a point when I wanted to incorporate everything that I had learned in my life with everything that I loved which was the driving force behind the creation of Lili Alessandra. Describe the overall concept of Lili Alessandra. Sandra: Lili Alessandra is about Luxury Bedding and decorative textiles that makes a statement in each room setting. Each collection has many options and allows our customers the ability to create their own special look. We design our collections like a clothing or accessory line. There are basic components that you should start with. The decorative pillows and throws give each customer a chance to be creative. We encourage our customers to “make it fun and make it your own” What makes the line so unique in the industry and a must-have in every bedroom? We are known for our Chloe Diamond Quilted Velvets which are a Must-Have basic that works back with many of our other collections. The Chloe quilted coverlets and pillows are luxurious, soft to the touch and machine washable. This collection comes in 8 colors and has become one of our signature statements. What is your approach to integrating fashion and comfort? Sandra: Our collections are about fashion and design. Each collection represents a look that is translated in every detail of our product. For example, our new Blush and Platinum Velvets this year tells a story of “Old Hollywood” glamour. The easy care and wash ability makes the product comfortable that can be used for everyday life.
87
88
What tips do you have to make it easy to create a bed that reflects individual style? Sandra: I always start with the Basic components first. If you want a more natural organic feel I suggest our Emily quilted coverlets and pillows that are made of 100% linen. If you are going for a little more glam look then you start with our Chloe Diamond quilted velvets. Or if you want a cleaner more transitional look then you go with our Retro Coverlets. Now that you have your basics you then need to think about a color in the room you wish to enhance. Once you have a color in mind then you can choose what I call the “top of the bed” which can be a duvet, decorative pillows and possibly a throw. What are the elements of building a comfortably chic bed? Sandra: I love mixing textures and of course working with fabrics that are easy care. Don’t be afraid of mixing linens with velvets and finish off the bedding with a statement decorative pillow like any of our 18x30 large rectangle decorative pillows. How do you best pull a bedding look all together? Sandra: As I mentioned before always start with your quilted basics, add the decorative textiles that works with some of the colors in the room. You can add a duvet at the foot of the bed, or omit the Duvet and use a beautiful throw. Any design/decor rules you live by? Sandra: Always mix fabrics and textures that are enhanced with hand crafted embellishments. What inspired your latest collection? Sandra: The inspiration for our new collections this year was all about color. I wanted a soft Fashion Color that was in the pink family. If the pink color was too strong I knew it would not work. So I looked at my favorite lipsticks, nail polishes and scarves and came up with our new Blush palette. I then chose our new Platinum color as complement to our very neutral Blush statement. 89
90
What are your Spring/Summer Lili Alessandra Must-Haves? Sandra: Our Must –Haves this Spring/Summer are our Guy and Karl basket weave with Blush velvet applique pillows accented with Valencia and Christian Blush velvet w/ silver print decorative pillows. What's next for the line? What can we be on the lookout for? Sandra: We have some exciting new fabrics that will give a more transitional and cleaner look that will be available in ivory, ivory with gold, slate blue and slate blue with silver. I am very excited about our new collections but don’t want to give too much away. So please stay tuned.

SHOPPING GUIDE

Can you handle it? The gateway to Southeast Asia? There is a reason it’s called Bangkok you know. It is best known for its mouthwatering food, vibrant nightlife, and diverse shopping scene. If you are looking for one of the most unforgettable experiences and want to return home with more bags than you came with, then your next trip should be to shop and explore Thailand's capital, Bangkok. It’s has been named the “World’s Best City” as well as the “World’s Most Visited City” in recent years. One thing to keep in mind when traveling to Bangkok is that it is a weekend city. During the week many shops, around the whole city, are closed and most of the main attractions are only in operation on Saturdays and Sundays. That said, Bangkok has so much to offer even if you are not there on a weekend there is still so much to do! Bangkok shopping is multidimensional and it really does have something for everyone. If you are looking for luxury, fair-trade, or just fun souvenirs you will find it in abundance. Hop on the back of a Grab motorbike, catch the Skytrain, or hire a car for the day to explore Bangkok. Most tourists, travelers, and foodies say that Thailand has some of the best food. Street food to be more specific, fresh squeezed orange, papaya, or mango juice as well as exotic noodle bowls, meat skewers, fried rice and a big favorite, papaya salad! To bag the best shopping and food all in one market then make your way to Chatuchak Weekend Market. 126
Chatuchak Market is one of the largest markets in the world and around 200,000 people visit the market in one day. There are over 20 sections of the market and each section is designated to its respective category of goods. Clothing, home goods, gardening, electronics, ceramics, food, etc. you can find almost anything. The best souvenirs can be found at Chatuchak Market, whether it be the ever so popular harem pants, elephant tee’s, or beautiful traditional Thai home decorations. Another great feature about the market is that everything is fairly cheap and if you feel something is a little over priced then bring out your bargaining skills! Next head to the Pathum Wan neighborhood where you will find multiple chic shopping centers all within walking distance from one another. Central World is one of the largest malls in the world with eight floors of international brands, luxury brand names, food courts, an ice rink, and even cars for sale.
It is easy to get swallowed up and not feel the need to shop anywhere else but follow signs to Siam Paragon to continue your shopping spree. Lit up by bright lights and big golden letters pointing the way, Siam Paragon is a more humble shopping center with it’s own luxury center, food markets, and international brands. If those two shopping centers haven’t filled your bags then continue on to Siam Center, Siam Discovery, and MBK which are all a short walk from one another. Bangkok is a true wonder. The unforgettable street food, the never ending shopping, the kind and hospitable inhabitants, the incredible history and traditional architecture, it will leave you breathless and wanting more.
