I was very inspired by working women, and also women who aren't working yet! I want them to have shoes that feel luxurious and special and well-crafted and thought about. But also, they should have shoes that won't break the bank. You don't have to spend three years saving up for beautiful shoes.

I have a job that allows me not to look perfect all the time. I can just go looking the way I look, have my hair just any old type of way.

With anything, you have to approach from an educational, mature standpoint.

That's what fashion is supposed to do to you, it's supposed to make you happy, make you excited, make you feel good.

I like playing with fashion and bending the "rules," or what was "rules" - there are no rules anymore, you know? Fashion is way bigger than that and it's about wearing what you want and wearing what makes you feel comfortable and what makes you feel confident.

I have an obsession with just watching people and what they're into.

I don't go to parties even when I'm invited. I've always been an 80-year-old woman inside. I remember going to my first school dance petrified. I just wanted to leave. Like, This is cool, but I'm ready to go home now.
