I personally think my sister is so stunning without makeup. And she doesn't wear that much makeup because she has the best skin color.
I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
In third grade, I played basketball with the boys every day at lunch. I had braces that were yellow and purple, and I wore full Laker uniforms to school.
I always say, 'Eat clean to stay fit; have a burger to stay sane.'
The bigger fan base you have, the more companies will be attracted to you. And having a following, you can be so much more involved being a representative with the brand you're working with.
I love sports - I used to play volleyball really competitively...I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers, and I've ridden horses my whole life.
The first year I lived in New York, I tried a different burger every week to find my favorite burger in New York.
We get to live in a time that we get to use social media as a tool. It's not just a face on a piece of paper, and that's what makes you someone's favorite model. We can have a very similar sense of humor as someone, and that's why we're their favorite model, or our personal style, off the runway, is why we're their favorite.
When I was 11, I made truffle risotto for my family for Christmas dinner.
I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that's three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.
I eat healthy when I can; I eat a burger when I want, and I work out. You have to live with the routine that keeps your body the healthiest, and that's what I do - I don't change it for a swimsuit shoot. You have to figure out what works with your body the best.
I personally would rather do the Master Cleanse for ten days than just eat salad for six months.
I'm really lucky to have a lot of friends in fashion. I don't know if that's common, but I just get along with a lot of people. My really close friends are Ireland Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldridge and Devon Windsor.
I'm always tan and blonde and don't really fit into New York. I'm a California girl, even if I try and cover it up with leather.
