Trivia

Things do happen and it's not you that changes, it's your life that changes.

—Perrie Edwards.

I can't wait to get married and have kids, but it's Little Mix at the minute... I want Little Mix to explode and be massive, then I think we'll all settle down and get married and have kids and stuff like that. It's going to be lovely. I can't wait.

—Perrie Edwards, speaking to the Metro.

“I can’t live without lipstick. I used to like red, but that got too boring, so then I decided I liked purple, like a dark purple. Now I just like a brown, nude lip!”

—Perrie Edwards

“We were like new kids at first, we didn’t know each other. It wasn’t until we went to my house that we just clicked. It was instant. We went shopping, and we stayed up every night watching movies, eating food, rehearsing, singing. It was like being at camp with your best friends. We had such a laugh.”

—Perrie Edwards

“For my perfect girls’ night, I’d rather stay in and watch a movie, like a chick flick or something romantic. And eat loads and loads of food!”

—Perrie Edwards

“I have a hippie-boho style, with long skirts and flowery headbands, then a rocker side with leather jackets and biker boots. For daytime, I love a flowy skirt with a crop top and sandals, then for night a long dress with a nice belt and lots of silver jewelry.”
