What were you doing when scouted? Just doing some shopping.

Describe your style: It’s mostly just relaxed and trendy. It’s really comfortable with a little bit of style mixed into it.

Fashion trends you love: I like the wide-brimmed fashion hats, relaxed dresses and sweaters.

Fashion trends you hate: Leggings with Uggs will never look good on anybody.

Fashion influences: Mostly Pinterest but I just love looking at people here in Lawrence. There’s so much style here.

What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? I would like to see more sharply dressed men and women in Lawrence. I think there’s a tendency to be lazy when students are only going to class, but looking nice helps you feel better about yourself. By the same token, less sweats/athletic wear as everyday clothes.

Whom do people say you look like? Anne Hathaway

What type of music do you like? I like a little bit of everything. I really like mainstream indie music like Of Monsters and Men as well as some pop.
