What I Can't Live Without As A Model Going On Stay

We The Free Emerson Tote Bag

As soon as I started modeling, I quickly found out the importance of having a large tote bag. Having a large enough bag that shows off your personal style well while also fitting your comp cards, heels, and portfolio book is so important. This is my favorite bag I have ever owned and my most prized possession. Although, I highly recommend not forgetting it on train in Italy because you will never get it back.

Some may say this is performative, I say it is practical. The headphones never die while

waiting in line at a casting if they never have to be charged. They are also more affordable and easier to replace if lost. This is the perfect headphone option for someone who is constantly breaking electronics.

Maglia Scollo Cashmere Top Intimissimi

During the winter months, having a long-sleeve top to layer over a black tank top is necessary. I chose to have fun long sleeves, again... to show off my personal style. Plus, if I can wear it to more then just a casting, it is always a yes for me.

Black Heeled Boots

If living in a larger city, wearing boots to a casting and then changing into heels is the best way to go. I started off trying to walk in heels my first week in Milan, and I ended up with blisters that wouldn't go away for weeks. Just start off with boots and you will thank me later.

Leather Jacket

I recommend going to a vintage store and buying a leather jacket. They are very warm and perfect for the winter months, especially when you have to wait in long lines during fashion week. Leather jackets never go out of style and contribute to the wonderful aspect of a capsule wardrobe.
