I love spicy things, especially Sriracha. It makes whatever it’s on better, even pickles—which I also love. Maybe it’s my Texan upbringing, but I’ll just amount it to my super-tolerance for all things intolerable. Bring me a bottle of something spicy and I’ll be your best friend.

I don’t just love Marc Jacobs and shopping bags. I love style, runway inspiration, feminine style, helping others discover style, fashion blogs—pretty much everything fashion. My dream job is to be a style editor.

There’s not really a story behind the ceramic owl: I stole it from my grandma’s house because I enjoy how kitschy it is. The prop I intended to be pictured with—the rest of the staff bullied me into posing with the faux fowl—is my beloved copy of The Devil Wears Prada. Call me crazy, but the dramedy is why I’m in magazines and why I’m on DrakeMag. (That’s all.)

I’ve never been much of an animal lover, save them for those drool-worthy cookies. It’s become an unhealthy addiction—I can barely get through a day without their sugary goodness. No, I will not share with you.

Forget donuts. In my mind, bagels are the breakfast pastry that reign supreme, and I’m not ashamed to say that I’m more than a little obsessed with them. Maybe it’s because they’re portable and travel well. Or that they go great with coffee. Or that they’re shaped into a halo of carb-y, starchy amazingness. Even my Klout score says that I’m “influential about bagels”, so you know my obsession is legit. Regardless of the occasion, give me a bagel (preferably blueberry), some cream cheese, and I’ll be a happy, happy girl.
