My biggest challenge every day is to be a great mother and a great businesswoman.

I'm always perpetually out of my comfort zone.

My company is an extension of me, so when I designed my stores I wanted people to feel that they were in my home.

One of my greatest talents is recognizing talent in others and giving them the forum to shine.

I've been writing an ongoing letter to my children since they were born, full of recollections of their childhoods. I've filled two journals. It's a great thing to do as a mother - you forget a lot as you go along, but reading over what you've written brings all the memories back.

If it doesn’t scare you, you’re probably not dreaming big enough.

Women have to embrace ambition if they want to. I had a lot of trouble taking compliments in the beginning, and it's really important for women to embrace their title.
