Source @stuartbrazell ・・・ This quarantine has me spending a lot more time on @tiktok ? Who else is on there? It’s kind of fun because not that many people I know have accounts, so it’s definitely become my guilty pleasure! Here’s a video I made with my babe @andreafeczko at last Monday’s @tasteawards. I’m also realizing that this was the last time I’ve been in public and that I have technically been on a home quarantine for a week now. Wow! I’ve put my #tiktok account in my bio if you’d like to join me over there. I’m currently trying to post at least once a day and have a lot of fun with it! Wishing you all a wonderful week despite these unique and challenging circumstances . #StyledByStuart #tasteawards #redcarpet #redcarpetfashion #redcarpetdress #celebrity #awardshow #awards #taste #goodtaste #la #beverlyhills @lovebevhills #beautiful #fashion #luxury #modeling
