nice looks hot
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
years eyeglasses accessories
I used to collect frames. I've been collecting accessories since I was 11-years-old, creeping around flea markets and sales and everything. Whenever I saw unusual eyeglass frames, I bought them.
shoes important world
To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
chance kind plans
Everything that's happened to me, nothing's been planned. I've never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.
well-dressed wells comfortable
It's better to be happy and comfortable than well dressed.
fashionista small-parts
I don't count myself as a fashionista because I do a lot of other things. That's just a small part of my life.
fun lying thinking
I think dressing up or down should be a creative experience. Exciting. Fun. For me the key to personal style lies in accessories. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight, achieving - hopefully - a kind of throwaway chic
rebel
I'm not going to be a rebel and offend anybody, but I'm not going to live in somebody else's image.
life-changing matter looks
You have to know yourself and know what you can carry. If you're not comfortable, no matter how well dressed you are, you're not going to look right. I'd rather be happy and feel comfy.
promise world
The world is always full of promise.
minimalist
I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
husband men lucky
I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.
art school years
I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.
fun creative getting-dressed
The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.
