Fashion is expensive. Style is not. Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.

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.

Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.

If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish, they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, original. They were not following the trends.

I'm very classic and structural. I love clean lines and interesting, modern details. But I'm all about being streamlined - less is more.

It's empowering for women to have some tricks up their sleeve to help them look their best.
