Because my business life is so busy, my home is really my sanctuary. That is where I reflect and spend quality time with my girls.

My biggest influences are strong, creative women that chart their own path, lead their own lives and drive the course of history.

If you really want success in life, it's two-fold. You want to be able to take care of yourself and take care of yourself well, but there's the other side in which you want to be able to take care of yourself so that you're a happy person, so that you're passing those qualities and those tools onto your children.

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

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

I realize I never stand out in a room unless I'm feeling balanced, centered and happy. It sounds really corny but it's very, very true.
