art book house
You have to find your own style, and it's difficult to define what style is. It's not what you're wearing; it's how you wear it. It's something very personal, and it reflects the way you live and your house, the books you read, the art you have.
book shoes suitcases
I love books; my suitcases are always full of them. Books and shoes. I read when I am sad, when I am happy, when I am nervous. My favourite British author is Jane Austen, and my favourite American one is John O'Hara.
book people agendas
Most people travel with a good book, but I also keep my agenda with me; I'll flip through the pages and take a few moments to organize my life a little - I rarely get the time to do this normally.
inspiration book painting
I don't get my inspiration from books or a painting. I get it from the women I meet.
In general, fashion is challenging. Everything from clothes to fragrances.
designing love shirts wear white
I love white shirts because they feel like a security blanket. You can wear them with anything. It's the person and the way that they wear it that makes it different. I have been designing white shirts forever, but I don't get tired of it.
changes entire eyes looks shape work
I've had work done on my eyes in the past. However, I think there are limits. I wouldn't ever have too much done, as it looks unnatural, and I don't think you should do anything to your lips, as it changes the entire shape of your face.
easy lean
It's very lean and very easy and very uncomplicated.
anybody best people
We always know better than anybody else what looks best on us. Even if people are complimenting you, if you think, 'I hate what I have on,' it's not right.
dressed god half hours people spend takes thank three understood
Thank God my hair is always the same. And I get dressed very quickly. I am not one of those people who spend three hours getting dressed. I never understood that. What do you do for the two and a half hours after the half hour it takes you to get ready?
age change changing realize women
Sometimes you see women that don't realize that age is changing your style, and they don't change.
good
You wouldn't know it but I'm no good at... cooking. My chef does that.
move women
The skirts are lovely, ... They move very well and they're very feminine. They make women look really like women.
alter longer love satisfied truly
I am truly happy with what I've got. But if I could alter something, it would be my hands. I've never been satisfied with them - I would love longer fingers.
