A flair for unique fashions clearly runs in the family.

When Kendall Jenner and niece North West twinned in the same pink feathered top last week, fans thought that the model may have borrowed the shirt from her 5-year-old niece — but Kendall says that it was a complete accident, and they bought the same shirt (apparently at an outlet) without realizing the other had it.

On putting happiness first: “I get a lot of questions about how I chose to take that leap of faith [into entrepreneurship]. The answer is always the same: We are responsible for our own happiness,” Tsai says, adding that her happiness stemmed from finding a genuine connection to her work. “I knew that if I kept doing work I didn’t believe in and that didn’t speak to what I wanted to do with my life as a human being, there was a 100 percent chance that I would be unhappy. If I tried something different — whether it was starting my own company or changing careers — there was a chance that I’d be unhappy. I’ll take a 50 percent chance of being unhappy versus a 100 percent chance of being unhappy any day of the week.”

On riding out the lows:  “I had to leave my groceries at the grocery store when I was nine months pregnant [because I couldn’t pay]. That was definitely a low point,” Tsai says. But the beauty industry powerhouse didn’t let it phase her.  “[After it happened] I went back to work. There’s only one way out of that hole — work.”
