I always have an idea in the back of my head, but that goes with anything else that I'm doing. There is a sort of vision behind it.

It's always great to have two inspirations, one that has more of an editorial purpose and one for more of an everyday, wearable approach.

Of course I love leather, and I love stingray. So combining the two and adding those gold elements - I always love a great gold accessory.

I always like to play with a lot of color. Color is great.

I spend the first half of my day dealing with Europe because of the time difference. Then in the evening my website gets my undivided attention.

The time eras that I really like are more on '50s and '60s.

Fashion has always been in my life, thanks to my mother and my aunt growing up. I think as I became an adult, my style evolved, and my love of fashion evolved even more.
