What do you like to listen to when you're running?
"I have a playlist in my iPhone for when I need the motivation. It's basically all rap music. My favorite songs on there are probably Drake's 'I'm So Proud Of You,' and Fabolous' 'You Be Killin Em.'"

Where do you like to shop?
"I just discovered Reformation. That place is awesome! I had no idea. There are also some cool places in downtown L.A. But, I honestly think the best place to find cool, up-and-coming designers is online. I do a lot of online shopping."

What fall TV shows are you excited for?
"My secret TV addiction is Downton Abbey, for sure. The final episode of the last season made me crazy!"

I've heard you're foodie! What food trends are you into right now?
"I've been on this pasta kick recently. I pretty much carbo-load year round."
