I play in men's and women's wear, and I kinda mix and things like that.

Being able to take control of my life again, take control of what I'm eating and my fitness is enlightening and empowering.
Me and my dad, we go shopping all the time. He helps me pick out clothes and bags and stuff like that. We do share a common love of clothes and traveling.
I'm having so much fun getting to play around with a lot of different looks, a lot of different outfits, a lot of motifs.
I celebrate the things that make me different, and it's worked to my advantage.
Only in 2016 can a brother and sister have problems over the same man.
I've worked as an E! News correspondent covering New York Fashion Week and have appeared on several fashion shows and online sites.
I have an allowance for clothes and stuff.
I think that NYC naturally brings out a bolder personality in people.
People are more up front about what they want. That's what I love about New York in general.
I would love to jet set all around and take all the fashion weeks if I really could. I would love to go from London to Paris to Milan and just do them all. I think that would be amazing.
When it was time to come out, I was obviously scared, as most people are.
Don't let anyone tell you no - don't care about what anyone else thinks.
I like things that are avant-garde, but at the same time I can also go downtown edgy.
The only time it gets weird is which bathroom do I go into sometimes.
I'm always constantly doing something else.
A lot of people ask me if I only get all this attention because of my dad. The answer is no.
Obviously if it's a larger bag, you can always debut it at a nice lunch or a good shopping date - maybe like a luncheon or a Dodger's game. Obviously for smaller bags, clutches and stuff, you can always wait for something in the evening like a big party.
I really think it's important that you not listen to so many fads; you really need to find what works for you.
So I'm definitely coming up in the entertainment world. Definitely a talk show down the line is my ultimate goal and you know, dabbling in fashion and entertainment.
Find a workout that's something you love to do.
I've always wanted to be successful, but I wanted to make sure I found my own way.
I just want a friend with benefits.
No two days are ever the same, but usually I wake up and immediately check out what's happening online in the fashion world. Doing so inspires me to create and shape my own fashion trends.
I'm actually studying hospitality and I have a concentration in event planning and design. I study mostly around event management and a little bit of business.
All the people that are so quick to say that, like, because I wear womenswear sometimes, that means I'm transitioning. People are just so ignorant and dumb sometimes.
Oh, I shop all over the place, really. Like I love department stores like Barney's and Saks and stuff like that. But I also just like to walk in Soho and find some interesting boutique that doesn't really have a huge name or following, and I'll go in and find something amazing.
It's very exciting to have this great opportunity to interview designers for PopSugar. This is certainly my first step toward making my debut in the fashion industry.
My parents have always been super supportive.
We get only one life, and you need to just - give it. Give it your all.
I certainly think it's important to build relationships with movers and shakers in the fashion industry.
After I got all the love and support from my family then I knew I could go out and conquer the world, I guess.
I just wanted to feel sexy and get male attention and get guys and do that whole experience because I didn't really have that before. And so when I started to get it, I just took it and ran with it.
My dad's entire business and enterprises have been about helping the African-American community.
With a strong foundation in place, my goal is to keep progressing forward and continue making my mark within the entertainment and fashion industries.
It's a totally new mindset - I'm completely dedicated to living a new, healthy lifestyle. It's given me a whole new view on life.
I've completely changed what I eat and how I view food. My friends and family eat really healthy and they've been encouraging me. I feel great!
It frustrated me as a kid. Like, why didn't I just wake up every morning shooting half-court shots from my bedroom?
I was always very much a diva.
I've always known that I wanted to do something in entertainment and fashion.
It's important to come out to yourself first and be comfortable with it. After that, I feel it's important to surround yourself with a group of friends who support you and love you for who you are.
You have to be careful that you're not too involved in so much social media that you miss out on real life.
My friends are all about Instagram and all about Snapchat.
I don't know if I would describe myself as a little goth. But the all black is very New York.
You never know what kind of person you're going to be faced with, and you never know what kind of obstacles you're going to have to overcome.
I am very, very, very blessed to have the family that I do.
I love Rihanna all day, every day.
First of all, there's the celebrity thing. Like, who are you here for, are you dating me or are you trying to date my dad? These men either just want to be there for one thing and don't want to stay for the real relationship part or they just want to ride the wave and be bougie and bomb and have their picture taken and do all of that.
I always wanted to come into the spotlight. I always had dreams and plans of doing my own thing and creating my own image, so it came a little sooner than I thought it would but this is still something I knew I would be going through and would have to experience.
I realize I'm not going to meet my man at a club, and that's where I used to troll for men.
