fashion attitude heartfelt
Attitude is everything.
school america citizens
I was born in Belgium. I went to school in England and in Switzerland, then I came to America, so I really feel like I am a citizen of the world.
block simple dresses
I had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. It was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore. That one dress sold about 3 or 4 million. I would see 20, 30 dresses walking down one block. All sorts of different women. It felt very good. Young and old, and fat and thin, and poor and rich.
What you eat is everything. What you eat is what you are.
healthy important spirit
It's more important to be healthy and of good spirit than it is to be thin, just as it's more important to be an attractive woman than a fashionable one.
boring habit good-habits
Don't let any of your good habits get boring.
Prepare your food attractively and serve it nicely.
mean trying weight
If you're trying to lose weight, you just have to eat less. I mean that.
trying proud cheat
Be proud of yourself. Try to eat well...and when you cheat, enjoy it!
hurt fall theory
It's like learning to fall properly. If you can manage not to tighten up you won't hurt yourself as much. The same theory applies to your day, physically and emotionally. The tensions simply can't take hold.
makeup looks without-makeup
It's very often true that some women look better without makeup, but that's only during the day.
fashion important designer
Fashion Week is so important for designers.
beautiful cake ideas
Resisting a beautiful chocolate cake or a wonderful foie gras is as difficult as (the idea of) saying no to Paul Newman.
husband bad-mood expensive
Just don't go to a place where everything is too expensive... it'll put your husband in a bad mood.
