I tried to assimilate and mix myself in with everybody, but I still stood out because of my mannerisms, the way I spoke, my interests, the way I walked, all those things that make us stand out in a crowd. Then I got to a point where I stopped caring, because people were calling me names no matter what, so I thought I might as well just do what I wanted to do.

Color-blocking two bold shades feels so modern.

Like people love their tote, they love their initial bangle, they love their C. Wonder belts, they love their cardigans and their striped top, and I'm really happy to be bringing that back and helping people get their 'Bee Happy' smoking slippers again.

I like to say I'm geek-chic with a little bit of showgirl.I get asked it a lot, and it really does kind of sum it up.

My whole philosophy is about playing dress-up.

Putting on a new pair of glasses or sunglasses is a simple way to completely transform your look - just like a new hairstyle.

An embellished top with slim pants is great, even for a wedding.
