We all get a little rush of excitement at the prospect of buying a brand-new outfit for a first date, but this is not the time. You're much better off wearing clothes, shoes especially, that you've already tested.

It's refreshing to see a woman who can artfully weave her individuality into an otherwise safe ensemble.

When I was older and I first started working, I was obsessed with buying my first Chanel jacket. I saved up my hard-earned money, went to Barneys, and bought a little black Chanel jacket. It saw many, many job interviews and many, many events. I'm not fitting into it lately, but I still have it.

People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be, and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.

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

Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans.

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