Women now, we can juggle a lot of things. We're not just girlfriends or love interests. So that's really great to not just make her the chick and give her something to do.
Actors used to carry films because people would have to actually go to the movies to see them. It was the only place. But now there's none of that mystique, and so there's less of a reason to buy a ticket.
I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.
A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.
I have a cosmetics line in Walgreens. It's exclusively at Walgreens.It's called Circa and it's basically prestige cosmetics that are at drug-store prices.
Since I begrudgingly started my Instagram account and my social media exposure/connection. I say begrudgingly because I just didn't want to take the plunge, but when I realized it was just a direct connection to our customer and these women, I did it. I like listening to their stories and their feedback.
Because my boyfriend plays there Monday nights ... and the pool.
I listen to [customers] and we make adjustments because we pretty much average a collection every six weeks. We're constantly taking everything in and taking notes.
I also have an amazing codesigner and an amazing partnership with New York & Co. The exciting part of growing together and having this kind of long-term relationship is that they can anticipate where I'm going with something. So our relationship is very defined, it's a true partnership so I'm not doing it all by myself.
It's tapping into something so deep that when I reap the rewards, I do not even know I'm reaping them. It's a more overall kinda thing.
Rejection is good for the soul.
Anchorman' is my favorite movie of all time and Ron Burgundy is one of my favorite characters of all time. It's my 'Gone With the Wind.
I've never had a problem with nudity, but I don't put it out there without a reason.
But I've never felt objectified. Nothing you see me do is an accident.
