Fun Facts:
"My parents both work in the fashion industry, so growing up and seeing the photoshoots and bloggers really inspired me to build my own brand."-Ella Mendelsohn
"Being from New York, I love a good street style cool moment. I get inspiration for my looks from some fashion icons on Instagram—@songofstyle @devwindsor and @brittanyxavier."-Ella Mendelsohn
"My amazing mom takes most of my photos but I've worked with some great photographers, like @lizlinett. An average shoot for me and my mom takes 2-3 hours and we usually get four looks done."-Ella Mendelsohn
"When I'm in a rush, I love a cool hoodie or sweater with some jeans or leather pants, and definitely a good pair of sneakers!"-Ella Mendelsohn

"This question is so hard, but my favorite piece of clothing in my closet at the moment is my high-waisted @brandymelville jeans. Although, they are so basic they go with everything so I can dress them up and make them cool for shoots, but also wear them to school more casual."-Ella Mendelsohn
"My life is not as perfect as my Instagram! I get asked a lot if I'm popular in school because of my Instagram, but really, middle school is hard for me and I'm sure many other kids, too. Just because I have a certain amount of followers doesn't mean I'm cool in school! People can be mean and jealous but just keep doing you. Kill 'em with kindness."-Ella Mendelsohn

"My go to makeup look is very simple. I use Glossier mascara, Milk makeup highlight stick in the shade "lit," Glossier cloud paint in the shade "beam," and Glossier Boy Brow. I also usually put on a chapstick or lip balm."-Ella Mendelsohn
