Everyone wants to be a stylist. If you know that’s your calling, then you need to intern as much a humanly possible. You need to go to fashion school if you can.

Something that’s very painful for me is when people wear pants that are too short.

My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I’ll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag.

It’s hard for me to take care of myself, let’s put it that way. I am my last priority.

I believe fantasy and dreaming can be made a reality. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be a VIP.

I do love being on television and in peoples’ homes. I’m not an actor, so there is a connection that’s real.

Sexiness should not be overt. Something shapeless that drapes across your hip, hangs off the shoulder; something that cowls in the front, drapes low in the back, that’s sexy.

Tom Ford does everything perfect.

You can’t get dressed without good hair.

Celebrities are just like us and like any of your friends. I love working with people.

I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.

I have lost my short-term memory – I’m just getting blonder by the day.

I don’t come from a family of slackers, but I do come from a family of doers.

I’m not trying to set the world on fire; I just want to make really beautiful clothes that women want to wear, can afford, and can really see themselves in.

I think people should look cute all the time.

My home has to feel airy and bright with natural light. I don’t switch on lamps until it is literally black outside.

I would do fragrance. I’m a fragrance fanatic.

I think, as a working mom, I have to dress myself differently now. I used to wear very kind of precious clothes. Now I wear more black.

I’m not a tough boss in that I don’t raise my voice, I don’t freak out, and I don’t have a temper most of the time.

I just fell into the job as a fashion editor at a teen magazine. I was there for two years, and I left there as a senior fashion editor at the age of 25.

When you look like you stepped out of a catalog, that’s never good. People shouldn’t succumb to trend, they should interpret trend.

People tell you everything changes when you have a kid, but what nobody says is you don’t mind.

My dad is an unbelievable entrepreneur who balanced his life as a father and a president of two very successful companies.

As far as I can remember, every dime I ever had went to something extravagant. I would rather spend more, buy fewer items and have them forever.

I don’t deal in pretentious kids’ parties.

I will always think of myself as that girl that is 22 starting and really excited about everything and wanting to be amazing at everything. I always wanted to be the best stylist. That was it.

I’m a Virgo and I’m more – I don’t want to say ‘negative’ – but I’m the girl who thinks no one’s coming to my birthday party, no one’s buying my clothes, no one’s reading my book, no one’s watching my show – that’s just how I think.

If my client calls me and says, ‘I’m going to a friend’s premiere,’ I’ll say, ‘Come over and let’s do something cute.’ And I won’t bill them for that.

The thing that I really look for in people is enthusiasm and excitement and, not to sound really sappy, that fire in their eyes.

I keep saying I’m going to cut back on styling, but it’s hard to give up.

The worst thing you could ever get is people who think they know everything.

I would say that I definitely play a different role with my style; I like to mix it up a bit according to wherever I am. I dress differently in New York, L.A., Paris and London.

I love Fall Fashion Week because it means lots of layering, long sweaters and vintage coats.

You have to interpret what’s hot to make it work on yourself. If tweed suits are in, but you’re not a suit kind of girl, wear the jacket with jeans and a pair of Converses.

I always say that I don’t like it when people follow trends too much, just because it is on the runway. I think what you wear really does need to reflect what your own personal style is.

I’ve always been obsessed with style and glamor and if I want anyone to get anything out of my book, it’s how we can all have them in our lives.

Every other day there’s something – I’m dealing drugs, I’m starving people. I have never done a drug in my life.

My first job, I worked at ‘YM’ and I had an extremely tough boss who made me cry every single day. But what I took away from that was how I would never be.

I started styling people when I was just eight years old, without even knowing what a stylist was.

I am definitely a perfectionist, and I do like things a certain way. But as I have got older, I would say that I am a little bit less of a control freak.

Fall 2013 was inspired by the 1970s equestrian lifestyle. I wanted to incorporate the moody and romantic – intricate baroque detailing and classic menswear elements – with something tougher and edgier in a nod to London’s rock n’ roll underground.

No one wants to stay in the tabloids. But it’s actually not a terrible place to start.

All of my clients have athletic or curvy, healthy bodies.

Truthfully, I’ve never seen myself as being too thin. Sometimes I’ll look at photos and be like, ‘Oh, that’s not a good look.’ But generally speaking, I’m not too thin.

I think in spring, we don’t want to wear makeup, we don’t want to wear a ton of clothes, we just want everything to be easier.

I try to compartmentalize as much as possible, and I have the most amazing team in the world. They really set up my time in a way that is completely efficient all the time.

I don’t think that people should wear dresses two sizes too small. I just think that sexiness is better left to the imagination. It’s just more tasteful.

We’ve had Audrey Hepburn, we’ve had Twiggy, we’ve had Veruschka, we’ve had Kate Moss. I’m trying to figure out why I am to blame for skinniness.

On one hand I am this weird androgynous tomboy where I’m strangely low maintenance and have a five-minute makeup regimen. On the other I’m obsessed with all things beauty, from skin care to makeup.

All those things they say about a baby changing your perspective – it does!
