Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.

Your closet needs to be a place of joy and celebration of who are you now - not who you were.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don't like them.

You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.

Confidence is the best accessory. It can make or break an outfit.

Clothes allow you to see yourself in a different light. They can transform you instantly and have a very real, visceral impact. Clothes become symbolic of who we are.

Texture is something we forget - it makes outfits look very expensive. You can do a monochromatic outfit, if you're afraid of things that are more colorful and printed, and still create interest.

Rules like 'don't wear white after Labor Day' or 'shoes matching the handbag' are antiquated. Modern women should feel free to experiment.

Style offers concrete rules you can follow. You can use it as a resource rather than a barrier to feeling good about yourself.

The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.

The key to personal style is understanding your individual beauty enough to know which looks will work for you and which probably won't.

I really, sincerely believe that one should trust the work, and not the author.

The requirement for advice being received well is that you’ve produced results with your life. Results are what matters!

Enjoy the successes that you have and don't be too hard on yourself when you don't do well. Too many times we beat up on ourselves. Just relax and enjoy it.

Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it.

the world I create in writing compensates for what the real world does not give me.

We are this divine energy. It's not something we have to attain. We just have to realize it, to be present to it.

I care what is actually true, even more than what I hope is true.

I think that if you're creating an environment completely or...in my research, what I've learned is that if it's a CG world or a lot of visual effects, you're almost better doing that in post.

To forgive heals the wound, to forget heals the scar.

There is no object to life. To nature nothing matters but the continuation of the species.
