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

I'm a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

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.

Women should wear clothing. Clothing shouldn't wear them.

If you want to play it safe, mix a lot of colors in the same tone and that is such an easy way to feel modern and feel a little confident.

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.

I believe clothing tell a story.
