fashion thinking unhappy
I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it's in or it's chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It's better to be happy.
fashion fun jail
If you put something together and it doesn't look so good, the fashion police are not going to come and take you away. And if they do, you might have some fun in jail.
color play eyeglasses
I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big; they don't fit into smaller bags.
people bigger
People would always say to me, "Why are you wearing such large frames?" And I would say, "The bigger to see you."
lasts being-pretty attractive
Being attractive lasts longer than being pretty.
attitude style
Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!
moving together way
I just mix and put things together the way the spirit moves me.
new-york good-life two
To lead the good life in New York, the two most important things for a woman are a chauffeur and a fur-lined raincoat. If you have those two things, you’re made.
said one-thing
Coco Chanel said take one thing off. I always said put another one on.
morning talking years
To find out who you are is like putting yourself on a psychiatric couch, but you have nobody to help you. Really it isn't easy. I was talking with my nephew this morning and he gave me one of the best quotes I've heard in years 'Personal style is curiosity about oneself.'
thinking time-and-money ifs
I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.
thinking zest giving
These are things I love, things I've worn. I get more compliments on accessories than anything else. I think they're kind of like herbs and spices. They give zest and zing to an outfit.
thinking choices accessories
If there was a choice on spending a lot of money on accessories or dress, I always chose accessories. I think jewelry can change an outfit more than anything else.
long important littles
Humor is important in everything. Dress with a little humor and you can go a long way.
