Laziest Place She’ll Wear It: “On a boat getting sun.”

What She’ll Be Binge-Watching This Holiday: “The last show I watched was ‘Narcos’ because I came back from Colombia and wanted to know everything about that [part of the world]. The first two seasons are really cool. Afterward when Pablo dies everything changes. It’s not the same.”
