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
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.
