In truth, women are the strong ones.
A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.
Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.
My life didn’t please me, so I created my life.
If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent them from growing.
A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.
You can be gorgeous at thirty, charming at forty, and irresistible for the rest of your life.
The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.

Traveling is so complicated. There are so many people everywhere. I make my best journeys on my couch.
Nothing goes out of fashion sooner than a long dress with a very low neck.

Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death.
Beauty begins in the moment you decide to be yourself.
