I really do believe that my style is informed by the fact that I had such issues with my appearance at various times of my life.

You have to let go of who you were to allow yourself to become who you are.

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

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.

A lot of people have said that I'm super-snarky and mean. But honesty is the only way to get people to change. It's very important to be constructively critical - give people alternatives and you're giving them a new way to see themselves.

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.

Style applies to a lifestyle. It's not about being told this is trendy, you must do it. Now people have more access than ever before.
