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

I believe every PERSON is beautiful. What you do with that beauty, how you develop it, is up to you.

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

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.

Only buy things that make your heart sing. If I don't love it, I won't buy it.

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

Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.
