hardest incredibly kids meet sad
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
business sure
I'm not really sure why I'm in this business at the moment,
kindness strongest
That's kind of my strongest thing in the tailoring,
evening incredibly pair personally stunning
It's not like evening wear, ... It's just kind of 'easy wear.' It's more like take one incredibly stunning thing and put it with a pair of jeans. I just think personally that's what I would do.
biggest freaks internal kids posh schooling system
It's one of my biggest internal struggles - the whole schooling system in London and the fact that my kids are going to a posh school. It freaks me out.
clothes felt proud wrong
I've always felt there was something wrong about making high-priced clothes - and I am really proud of the quality.

The one thing I have going for me is that I'm exactly the age bracket of the person who buys my clothes,
clothes cool direction
The direction is just really wearable, cool clothes.
singing world natural
For me, singing is the most natural thing in the world. I've grown up with it and I know I've got that gift.
wish sometimes sensible
Sometimes I wish I were less sensible.
frustrated musician
I confess to being a frustrated musician.
spiritual thinking practice
I think deep down I'm spiritual, but there's nothing I practice.
At times I make music, but in private.
sports running technology
I wanted to feel good about the way I looked. I didn't understand why style had to be sacrificed for sports technology. I found when going to the gym women were wearing their own tees, without the technology. I started to think, does it make you run faster if you wear that terrible color or sweat less if you wear that horrible fabric? And I challenged it, and the answers were not there to why we were being given poor design work. It was something I wanted to bring to women's wardrobes.
