“On the cover of Elle Girl this month is Grammy winner Michelle Branch wearing Alex Woo's smoky quartz Chiara earrings. Keeping it real, the 20-year-old rock star speaks out about boys, sneakers, songwriting, and how to surive being a teen. What is her advice? "The hardest thing for me to learn was that everything that happens isn't the end of the world, whether you're in a fight with your best friend or you break up with a guy. There are so many moments when you feel like you're the one one who's ever felt this way, but that's not true....everyone goes through these experiences."

Favorite movie:
Dazed and Confused—I own it and I've seen it a million times. When I was in high school I even did one of the monologues from it for my drama class.

Favorite time of day:
I love one o'clock in the morning because that's when I'm always up and getting things done—my neighbors must hate me because all my lights are on.
