If I didn't love the hourglass, I wouldn't love myself.

I am inspired by life, past experiences, what's to come, women around me, art, colors, paintings, and emotions.

I tell girls all the time that the men that have fallen in love with me, have all fallen during a man repeller stage... funny how life works out like that.

Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls.

A person's life is of their own making, and I take full responsibility for mine.

The beautiful 1940s women were a strong influence for me.

You should always feel confident in everything you wear, no matter what trend you fit or don't fit into.

Not everyone has to be a model and a designer, there are so many other options that are great and long-lasting. It's just finding what you're good at and being honest with yourself.

When I go out and I'm presenting the best side of myself, I want to look different from everyone, but I don't want it to look like I'm wearing a costume.

I'm thankful I grew up the way I did. It made me a hard worker and insightful to other people's lives.

I realize I never stand out in a room unless I'm feeling balanced, centered and happy. It sounds really corny but it's very, very true.

I'm not only passionate about dressing women and helping them feel and look their best, but also about helping to give a stronger voice to women and children in need around the world.
