My normal routine is pretty much putting out fires all day.

The funny thing is that I'm the girl who no one sees at the beach. Ask anyone who's traveled with me. Normally, I'm in so many layers, I look like Lawrence of Arabia!

To me, eyewear goes way beyond being a prescription. It's like makeup. It's the most incredible accessory. The shape of a frame or the color of lenses can change your whole appearance.

My mother was extremely controlled, sort of flawless. And I always tend to be a bit more hippie.

Just because you're from a city ten miles outside of St. Paul. It doesn't mean you don't read magazines, or the incredible Internet, and what's going on in the world. I never, ever take a client, or women, for granted.

I'm not really a girl who likes to go out to lunch or cocktails or store openings.

A woman is never sexier than when she is comfortable in her clothes.
