I'm a girl's girl. I'm a woman's woman. I'm a cool girl.

It's not about how skinny you are or how much money or how many diamonds you have - that's the fluff that people sometimes look at as being the main thing. It's about understanding that the things that make you fabulous are all inside of you.

A lot of the things I hold onto have memories attached to them. Bags, shoes and jewelry that were given to me from photo shoots and fashion shows throughout my career.

As a child, I saw my mother prepare for Christmas every year, and it never occurred to me that labor was involved.
