Everyone should work; it's good for the soul.

I am definitely a person who supports mothers. I believe in having children. Maternity leave and all that stuff is super important to me. In terms of one-on-one with employees, being a mom helps me ground my roots to humanity. When someone is going through a personal issue, I can keep it on a human level.

Give yourself time to work on your dream. If you want to start a stationery company or if you want to start an Internet site... Whatever it is, pick the thing that you love, and allot the time, but know and value the downtime as well.

I think that a woman wears so many hats, we have so many aspects to us that we're not just one thing. We represent so much within us and that kind of comes across for me as a designer through mixing prints and colors.

I care about how you feel when you're wearing something, because I think that if you feel confident, you look beautiful.

I always have one foot in the street, so I know not everyone wants to dress like the women they see in music videos.

If a great outfit gets you one step closer to feeling good about yourself, then it's worth every penny.
