Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.

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

Clothes are not Botox. Wearing a miniskirt does not take 10 years off your face.

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

I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.

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.

I'm not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, 'Bring on the day!' I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I'm even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow.
