"It's a big ole Southern saying that my mom has always said to me. I really think it rings true and that's my biggest people of advice: if you treat other people with kindness and you treat yourself with kindness, you are going to glow from within."

"I know it's cheesy but it's so real. I really believe it,” she continued.

"I first think, how hot is it going to be and what do I want to wear all day?" she told the outlet. "What am I going to feel comfortable in? What's not going to be too revealing for me? I also think boho, light colors and then I add my own little flare to it like a studded belt or a cute shoe and really embrace what I'm wearing."

Philippe wore a white baby doll-inspired dress which she paired with a pair of ankle-length white boots, wavy hair and a pair of sunglasses.

"I've just been hanging out in the sunshine with my friends and my boyfriend and enjoying being outside with other people," Philippe also told E! "It's such a lovely memory to create."
