Do you do Pilates?

I do Gyrotonics, not Pilates. Gyrotonics is better for my joints and my back; the classes I go to in the village are amazing and our teacher is incredibly knowledgeable, and I’ve been going twice weekly since I was a little girl.

Do you have a boyfriend now?

There is a man in my life, yes. He meets all of my requirements, lives up to all of my standards, does the most to make me happy, and makes me feel like I’m truly understood. However, if we’re ever going to be together, I do have to get my degree. That was the agreement that we made. We see each other for meals a few times per week and do activities together as well.

Say it with me: I owe it to myself to see how good it can get.

Favorite hair tutorial? I can't seem to get the blowout look right

I think that this is the holy grail of hairstyling routines.

Daily Makeup?

Sometimes I switch out the Hourglass concealer for my Armani concealer. I think it’s creamier, it blends well and doesn’t crease under powder, and I love the color I have it in. It’s a simple routine, but it’s not one that I’m devoted to; I like to switch up my eye makeup.

Favorite Clothing Brand?

Helsa is probably my favorite brand at the moment. I think half of my closet is Helsa, and I find myself buying and wearing a lot of Elsa Hosk’s brand as of late. I’ve never had any trouble with what I’ve bought; the quality has all been really nice, and the fit and length have been perfect for me. I will say that I feel like a lot of the pieces are priced like investment pieces but, in reality, have a bit too much polyester to be worth the price they are, but all in all, I buy from the brand because I love what I own so far and enjoy the way and feel everything looks when it’s on my body.

Something you swear by?

Whenever I take a long flight and I land late, I make sure to set myself up for success by doing one thing. After I’m checked in and after I wake in the morning, I call down to concierge to have a bucket of ice and spa water sent up, dunk my face, gua sha, and spray with Na-Pca Spray to hydrate and depuff. I do it twice to enhance my results, I make sure to let myself rest, and I finish up with a lightweight hydrating moisturizer.

I saw what I wanted in my mind’s eye and decided I could have it. I decided that nothing was too grand, nothing was impossible or out of my reach, and nothing would hold me back from getting it. I thought to myself, “I would like to be beautiful", and so with a lot of work and planning, beautiful was what I became.

I feel like my conception of It girls was deeply shaped by growing up in the 2000s…I simply don’t believe that anyone who is chronically online can ever be a true It girl. It girls aren’t supposed to take loads of photos of themselves, they’re supposed to be photographed by others stumbling out of nightclubs or in appear in best dressed magazine spreads …They’re supposed to seem a bit mysterious and unreachable and like they’re always busy having fun and being glamorous. For this and so many other reasons I just cannot understand how anyone could conceive of Dasha from Redscare or any of these dead-eyed Dimes Square adjacent people as an It girl. Those people are a charisma vacuum. They never look like they’re having any fun and they’re also obsessed with online culture wars (profoundly unchic behaviour). Also their personas are extremely effortfully contrived while the true It girl exude effortlessness and seems like she influences people and culture simply by existing.
