Luxury is...to be able to take control of one's life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful.

Fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez was a major part of my early career.

I'm so sick of mermaid dresses, trains, borrowed bling-bling, and a pose.

The zenith of elegance in any woman's wardrobe is the little black dress, the power of which suggests dash and refinement.

The happiest moments of my childhood were spent on my grandmother's front porch in Durham, N.C., or at her sister's farmhouse in Orange County, where chickens paraded outside the kitchen's screen door and hams were cured in the smokehouse.

I know what it is like to be brought up with unconditional love. In my life that came from my grandmother.

It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.
