new-york different energy
I just love the energy of going into different areas of New York.
three three-times
I could eat gazpacho three times a day.
jobs moving perfect
Each job I had wasn't necessarily the perfect job, but I always talk to young women about how you really have to take certain things from each job and learn from that and then move on to something you really want to do.
support entrepreneur helping
Big businesses can help by engaging aspiring entrepreneurs and promoting initiatives which support small businesses from within.
sunglasses dark-glasses
I never go out during the day without sunglasses.
home people stores
My company is an extension of me, so when I designed my stores I wanted people to feel that they were in my home.
water people risk
When I started my company, many people said I shouldn't launch it as a retail concept because it was too big a risk. They told me to launch as a wholesaler to test the waters - because that was the traditional way.
organization priorities time-management
I've learned time management, organization and I have priorities.
way retail wanted
I wanted to create a new way of looking at retail.
behind-the-scenes scene behinds
I like being behind the scene.
ambition four letters
Ambition is not a four-letter word and women have to embrace that.
mother children memories
I've been writing an ongoing letter to my children since they were born, full of recollections of their childhoods. I've filled two journals. It's a great thing to do as a mother - you forget a lot as you go along, but reading over what you've written brings all the memories back.
new-york thinking exciting
I love exploring New York and I think that's what is so exciting about it. You find places that you've never heard of or seen before all the time.
ambition important want
Women have to embrace ambition if they want to. I had a lot of trouble taking compliments in the beginning, and it's really important for women to embrace their title.
