6. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cowgirl. And then when I realized you can’t make any money as [one], I wanted to be a lawyer. I had an obsession with Divorce Court.

7. My guilty pleasure is shopping.

8. The [most] extravagant thing I’ve bought recently is a vintage black and white diamond Cartier necklace.

10. The best concert I’ve ever been to was Culture Club at the Greek Theatre [in L.A. with] the Housewives. Gladys Knight made an appearance.

12. My college experience was studying and working — not partying.

24. I’m doing a bridal collection with Nektaria. I’m excited about it. We just dropped the first styles.
