Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.

You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.

Matching your hat to your shoe to your bag, or your necklace to your earrings, has a tendency to look dated. Mixing up your accessories adds interest to an outfit, and can make you look much more modern and polished.

Smart beauty is about looking your best and feeling your best and never overpaying for it.

All metallics are neutrals. So it is absolutely fine to mix gold and silver; you just want it to look like it has purpose.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

Nothing's too girly and nothing's too masculine. But I do love color, and maybe that's a little girly - especially pink.
