It's important to look people in the eye and have direct conversations. I actually have a rule that if an issue takes more than five sentences to explain it, don't send an email. Pick up the phone instead, because it'll take less time to resolve it.

Someone's energy and aura and soul are so much more important - they don't compare to what you have on.

There's a beauty in that innocence that comes from not knowing. It allowed me to take a lot of risks and I took them because I chose a company in a field that I love. So for me, it didn't even feel like working.

When you have children love is always there in the best form.

Choose something that you're passionate about. So for me, that's creating jobs for women who don't have a voice. I would like to be their voice until they're strong enough and on their feet to have their own and really be heard. The way that I can do that is not necessarily by hand-outs, because my hand-outs wouldn't be great enough to really affect change. It's by providing jobs.

I'm inspired by different cultures around the world and love to incorporate these facets into my collection.

Don't give your power away to anybody. If you find something to do that you truly love, you'll be successful.
