Earlier this afternoon, some of Lucky's editorial team was treated to a special visit from Karlie Kloss, who brought along Victoria's Secret's new Body by Victoria collection for us to check out. Equally excitingly, she also brought along a tall stack of Karlie's Kookies, her mouthwatering gluten-free (not an oxymoron, people-seriously, try one!) cookies for Momofuku Milk Bar. When you invite a bunch of editors into a room filled with pretty bras, chocolate chip-studded treats and one of the sweetest catwalkers in the biz, we tend to get a little giddy-and luckily, I was able to steal a few minutes with Karlie post-presentation for a chat. Read on to learn about her summer beauty routine, her most recent footwear purchase (warning: you will be jealous)-and most importantly, how she's celebrating her 21st birthday this weekend.

Lucky: First off, you're absolutely glowing today. Do you tend to tweak your usual beauty routine during the summer?

Karlie Kloss: I do! Because it's hot, and you're sweaty, and walking around the city-I mean, it's dirty! In the summer, all I really focus on is skincare. A good cleanser, a good toner, just wiping everything off at the end of the day. I have the Clarisonic Mia, which is excellent. And I love Clinique's basic cleanser-it does the job, it really does.

Which items in your wardrobe have been getting the most play this season?

Hello-my Karlie Forever jeans! I just love them, and love the fact that they're long enough. I also recently discovered the Reformation here in New York-I love that place. It's not super-expensive, and it's perfect for those chic summer dresses you can just throw on even when you know you're gonna sweat. And I love their concept of recycling fabrics.

Much of your day-to-day job requires heels, but I'm sure that's a major pain to deal with when it's 85+ degrees outside...

Oh, I live in my Repettos. I also just got these Ann Demeulemeester lace-up suede sandals that are so chic. They just take a good five minutes to put on, is all! And you know what? I bought them online-on sale!

Speaking of treating yourself to stuff, I hear you've got a pretty big birthday coming up on August 3rd...

I know, it's the big 2-1! On Thursday night I'm having a birthday party with a big cookie cake...

Dare I ask if it'll be a Karlie's Kookies Kake?

Haha, yes! Tomorrow, I'm going to Momofuku Milk Bar and we're gonna work on it.

Sounds delicious. But enough about what you're eating-what's your first legal cocktail going to be?

Well, since I've never had a drink in my liiiife...I'd have to say a margarita. Frozen. With a little umbrella.

I'd say 21's an umbrella birthday. Enjoy!
