collar good jacket looks love sharp
Don't get me wrong, I love a good cardigan too, but a jacket - especially one with sharp shoulders, interesting buttons, or a unique collar - always looks the most fashion-forward.
belonged closet dressing enjoyed fashion loved originated room sacred
My passion for fashion originated in my mother's closet. She was a woman who loved fashion. She enjoyed dressing up a lot, and she had a closet that was like her sacred room that belonged only to her. She wouldn't let us go in and play there very often.
art dream forever good loved sit table
My mother was a very big inspiration. She loved fashion. I loved art in school, and I was very good at drawing. I could sit at the table forever and just dream up collections and draw.
admit grunge love people polish trend
I'll admit it, the grunge trend doesn't really speak to me. I get why other people like it, but it's just not my style. Don't get me wrong, I love layering, but I like it when it is done with a little more polish and sophistication.
love
Here's the thing: I love what I do for the magazine, and I love what I do on television. When you do the things that you love, it's not bad. It's about being very organized.

My six favorite textures for fall and winter are leather, fur, tweed, mohair, velvet and wool. I love that they are all as warm as they are fashionable and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe.

I love 'Project Runway' because I can really be of help to an industry and I can be supportive to designers.

I am always being stopped for style advice, and I love it! The way we dress says so much about ourselves, and I love when I can help others take control of that.

I love shopping for guys! A watch is a fantastic gift idea - an oversized, stainless steel version with links is classic and cool.
full home instantly life love objects rest serene
When I come home, I need to feel instantly disconnected. In the rest of my life, I feel overstimulated. Here, I want things to be serene and unfussy, full of objects I love - but not too many of them.
I've always spoken my mind. There's no reason not to!
I've always been opinionated, unfortunately, to my mother's disappointment.

I'm all about the high heel; I think it's the sexiest accessory ever made, including lingerie.
