"Style is a deeply personal expression of who you are, and every time you dress, you are asserting a part of yourself."
"My style is about making things last forever. When you're on a budget, it can be daunting to spend $300 on a pair of boots or a coat. But such basics are the building blocks from which your look is crafted."

"Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans."
"Style comes from knowing who you are and who you want to be in the world; it does not come from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier."
"I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn't actually buy it, but I fell in love with it."
"It's empowering for women to have some tricks up their sleeve to help them look their best."
"I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more."
