Harbour Island in the Bahamas is beautiful, with turquoise water and pink sand.

When you get into a hotel room, you lock the door, and you know there is a secrecy, there is a luxury, there is fantasy. There is comfort. There is reassurance.

I always knew the woman I wanted to be-I knew I wanted to be a woman who was independent a woman who was in the driving seat, a woman who didn't need for the man to decide.

My favorite days are the ones where I deal only with my own team, design, marketing, working on the next accessories collection.

The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself.

Passion and persistence are what matter. Dreams are achievable and you can make your fantasy come true, but there are no shortcuts. Nothing happens without hard work.

I was fortunate to become the woman I always wanted to be.
