I’ve featured reality star Audrina Patridge as a beauty and fashion inspiration on my blog many times. So can you imagine how awesome I felt when I had the opportunity to meet and interview her for a website I freelance for?
I was thrilled—but to be honest, I was totally nervous. I remember right before going into the interview room I was kind of having heart palpitations. I think anytime you meet someone famous, you’re bound to feel a little anxious about the experience.
Fortunately—talking to Audrina was like talking to a friend. She is so incredibly genuine, sweet, nice…I just can’t say enough great things about her. She’s smart and funny—and one of those people you know you’d be friends with in real life (you know, if she weren’t a celebrity and maybe you met through work or school).
I’m going to go let you read the full story/interview over on CultureMap, but I’ll share a few tidbits here with you as well:
- Her best advice? “You’re never going to be perfect and you just have to accept that and be happy with who you are.”
- She hates the gym and prefers to swim, play beach volleyball or do the Bar Method classes
- She get an airbrush tan every couple of weeks
- She loves Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Light-Weight Body Lotion SPF 30
- She said Houston-based Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer is her favorite foundation and that she religiously washes her face morning and night — even when traveling.
- She packs Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths for easy makeup removal on planes.
- She gets a professional blowout once a week and only washes her hair every three days (she raved about the Bumble & Bumble dry shampoo that she uses between washings.)
- She also loves Moroccanoil and uses it on her hair and skin.
Here are some photos from our meeting!

So so awesome! Loved the interview…such thoughtful questions and answers. You did a great job! And I'm sure you made quite the impression on her! Love the photos of you two together! 🙂
@natasha—she did tell people she really liked me and thought I was sweet—we got along really well 🙂
Omg that is amazing that you got to meet her!! I would of been so nervous too haha. Cute pictures of you guys 🙂
So awesome that you got to meet her! She was my second favorite from The Hills:) You looked great (as always) in your pix…
Wow – that's so cool! I really like Audrina – I haven't watched much of the Hills – but in all her magazine photos (both at events and on the street) she always looks so pretty and well dressed. Loved reading about her make-up faves.
that is so cool! i'm so jealous!
love, rach.

She is cute. You are both pretty, but to be honest your are prettier, she is cute but just doesn't look anything special.
So awesome! Great article!
That's so neat you got to meet her. I absolutley love her!
What a great opportunity Veronika!
you are sooooooooo much prettier than her! our at least more photogenic.
That's great you were able to meet someone you like and she turned out to be a nice "normal" person. Sometimes it sucks when you like a celebrity and you meet them and they turn out to be jerks.
That's awesome that you got to meet her! Such cute pictures. You look like a celeb yourself here:)
That is so exciting that you got to meet her! She does seem like she would be down to earth and sweet, that's so refreshing to hear that she was.
I've never noticed before, but she has ginormous teeth. She's pretty of course, but I wonder if those are her real teeth or veneers. Love her jeans!
congrats!that's awesome you got to interview her! I love her outfit. Thinking of recreating it today!
That's so neat! If I had known she'd be in Houston, I would have gone out there!
I really like her and her style. It's so awesome you could meet her
What an awesome experience! As much as I know The Hills was not really "reality" I loved it and was sad to see it come to an end. Great interview!

Great interview Veronika! I especially loved her remark about trying to remember all the nice comments people make and taking power away from the negative people who try to hurt her by simply deleting them. I adore Audrina as she always seems so grounded and "real." Plus, her style truly is effortlessly chic.
Thanks so much for sharing!

PS – the two of you seriously look like sisters!
P.S. I agree with Chritins…you're definitely prettier than her and more fresh looking, still such an awesome experience! I got to meet Lo a few years ago and she was super sweet and chatted my ear off for a while and it was so neat to see someone from a show I loved and get to see a little of the "real person" as opposed to what you see on tv.

You are so lucky! I love Audrina, as I have always been obsessed with The Hills. What a great opportunity!
Her hair is so greasy!! whats the deal? is it just in the pics?
@anon—her hair is beautiful and not in any way, shape or form greasy. you must just be seeing things weird on your monitor.
The article was wonderful. Looks like a blast!
You guys look like BFFs!! 🙂 I love the shoes you're wearing–great outfit all around 🙂
I normally think her hair is amazing but i think i have a new hair crush.. you! Your hair is so lovely here so much nicer than hers but shhhh xx
I agree that her hair looks a little weird…I think it's a combination of her highlights and the fact that it's a little flat on the top of her head. Usually I like the ombre look but hers is a little severe – not the best I've seen of her.
it looked great in person 🙂 wish you could have been there!
I'm happy for you that you got to meet her, I know you have enjoyed her style and fitness tips in the past! You wrote a great article.
thanks sheila 🙂
Veronika!
I've been a long follower of your blog! (finally say hi, I know!)
Love your shoes, Zara??? Were they comfortable I've contemplated (if they are in fact from Zara) getting them myself! Either way love your outfit!
Actually had several run ins with Audrina in Vegas (I lived there for about 5 years)!
You guys seriously look like you could be sisters! Also, the interview was excellent! You did a great job. We just HAD to repost it on our twitter!
