9:00 a.m.

2

I don’t sleep well, and because

2

I travel so much, when I wake up I often

2

don’t know where I am. The other morning

2

I woke up in Paris and I was like, “What?

2

Why am I here? Should I be at an airport?”

2

When my alarm goes of, I look at it and

2

wonder what it’s going of for. It’s like a de-

2

tective series—I have to unravel the mystery

2

of the beeping phone.

2

9:13 a.m.

2

I survey

2

the foor and fnd an item and build an out-

2

ft around it. Something will catch my eye—

2

a foral shirt or a pair of boots—and I’ll be

2

like, “Okay, how do I make that into a look?”

2

I try to keep things pretty minimal. I don’t

2

even carry an umbrella. It’s very English. If

2

it’s raining, I’ll just put up with it. I’m not

2

very good at looking after myself and being

2

a grown-up. I roam free like a terrifed lone

2

wolf. If I’m going to a shoot, they do my

2

makeup there, but on my days of I don’t

2

wear any, so I just shower and wash my hair.

2

I’ve got, like, three strands, so it takes, like,

2

one minute to wash. I hate people who take

2

ages to get ready and are late. I measure dis-

2

respect in minutes.

2

9:30 a.m.

2

The problem

2

lately is that the paparazzi are waiting outside

2

my house in New York, probably for my

2

outfts more than my exciting dating life.
