No elegance is possible without perfume. It is the unseen, unforgettable, ultimate accessory
Strength is built by one's failures, not by one's successes.
Be classy. Anything but trashy.
The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.
I love luxury. And luxury lies not in richness and ornateness but in the absence of vulgarity. Vulgarity is the ugliest word in our language. I stay in the game to fight it.
A woman does not become interesting until she is over 40.

Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.
How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
Elegance is refusal.
A woman is only as good as the peace and light she radiates.
