beautiful inspired interiors
I've always been inspired by beautiful interiors.
dream fashion home
People always ask what I would have done if I weren't doing what I'm doing. And I say I'd [still] be in fashion or in beauty. It's such a dream come true now because I have the ability to go into home [goods] and accessories as well.
mother children book
I have always loved books, and as a mother, I wanted to share my passion for reading with my children.
accessories passionate
I always loved beauty and accessories, and it's always something I was passionate about.
summer creative process
One summer I worked at Estée Lauder, and I really enjoyed the whole creative process.
people house sunglasses
People love buying into a lifestyle and an overall concept. So when they buy a shell-colored lip gloss, they can also buy shells for their house, as well as sunglasses and [items in] other categories [in that shade] to create one consistent image.
fun home thinking
I think it's so much fun to create a space. As the world has gotten more and more hectic - with these horrible catastrophes [happening] - people are going out less, ordering in, [having guests over]. People love to be in their homes.
wish one-thing asks
When you ask women what's the one thing they wish they had more of, they always say time.
summer beach ideas
So the idea of being able to shop cross-category to buy the beach bag, the summer lip gloss, and the pillows for your pool house makes it into very focused, easy life.
girl fun home
When I was creative director [at Estée Lauder], I was always being asked about my beauty must-haves. From there I had this fun idea to create a line of what was in my makeup bag. But I also love accessories, and people associate me with home, family, and beauty. As a girl, my favorite toy was my dollhouse; if I could still play with it now, I would! I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.
jobs creative heritage
When I took the job as Estée Lauder's creative director, the first thing I did was go into the archives! I love taking our heritage and making it modern.
stay-true-to-yourself stay-true true-to-yourself
You always have to stay true to yourself.
passion home heritage
Beauty is my heritage, but home decor is very much my passion,
mom art children
Mom used to frame everything we made, and now I'm following her example. It makes children so proud to see their work on display instead of hidden away. I figure if I take my children's work seriously, maybe they will too. And it reinforces the idea that art is not something alien and esoteric. Anyone can make art.
