My style is about making things last forever. When you’re on a budget, it can be daunting to spend $300 on a pair of boots or a coat. But such basics are the building blocks from which your look is crafted.
From time to time, you may see a girl wearing her black opaque tights as pants. They are, in fact, not.
Every stylish girl knows that when the sun goes down, the heel goes up.
Fashion is expensive. Style is not. Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.
Always make sure your jewelry isn’t taking over you or your ensemble and keep everything in proportion to your frame.
Nothing is more alluring to a man than a woman who looks good in her jeans.
Taking stock of what you own, when done correctly and thoroughly, helps dampen the urge to shop frivolously.
It’s refreshing to see a woman who can artfully weave her individuality into an otherwise safe ensemble.
One graphic element captured the essence of spring.
A great pair of shoes can make a $20 outfit look like couture, and a poorly constructed pair of shoes can make couture look like a cheap knockoff.
Putting on fierce boots is an instant pick-me-up.
When I was older and I first started working, I was obsessed with buying my first Chanel jacket. I saved up my hard-earned money, went to Barneys, and bought a little black Chanel jacket. It saw many, many job interviews and many, many events. I’m not fitting into it lately, but I still have it.
The fashion editor as it used to be has changed. Now you have to wear many hats, and whoever tells you differently is wrong. Now you’re on TV, whether you want it or not.
My nightmare of nightmares is being overdressed for a casual event – I’ve done it! You have to have a real sense of what you want to communicate.
BLACKBERRY. Also know as “Crackberry” for it’s addictive qualities. It is the modern girl’s weapon. It allow her to bid on ebay while walking down the street, map out her shopping route for maximum productivity, and sneak out of work and still get her messages as she peruses the sales racks...
I’ve had to adapt my wardrobe to my various roles, both at the office, as a mom, and for television. When I shop for the season I look for pieces that will suit every facet of my daily life, not just one single occasion.
I grew up with a fashion-obsessed mother and an older sister, so there was a lot of fashion in my house. The first thing I remember owning was a Pierre Cardin jumpsuit when I was 9 or 10; of course I didn’t actually buy it, but I fell in love with it.
People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be, and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things.
I have seen everything possible covered in studs and grommets. Also, what I call angry shoes: those platforms with the multiple buckles and studs. I think the polished girl is back.
We all get a little rush of excitement at the prospect of buying a brand-new outfit for a first date, but this is not the time. You’re much better off wearing clothes, shoes especially, that you’ve already tested.
