Everything looks cute when it's small.

I think it's important to incorporate everything into all parts of your life. I don't separate all the things - during the day, I talk to my kids; they come and visit. On weekends, we go crazy and do lots of activities. I'm just not good at relaxing.

I think that each season we, as an industry, evolve more and more in such a great way, and I'm really excited about it. We're able to put fashion into the hands of the consumer and eyes of the consumer, and I just think that there's no filter anymore; you just put it out there. There's an instant commentary. I think it's so interesting.

I'm very sensitive to smells.

It seems like the world's major cities are getting more and more homogenized, so I think it's important to go off-road and find treasures in offbeat destinations.

Overhearing people's conversations about art - that's always entertaining.

I really detest brunch. I think it's a waste of a good day. Detest is a little too severe, but I would say I'm not a brunch person.

I've always wanted to do something in the food and beverage world. Part of my MO is to go into unchartered territory. I enjoy a challenge.

I love the idea that you would wear vintage stuff with new stuff and wear stuff that's 5 years old.

We work with Birchbox, and I think that it's kind of exciting. You're getting a gift every month, and it also entices people to be more experimental and to try more things. For busy people like myself, it's really helpful.

I always like that sort of tomboy aesthetic.

That's my style - to mix a lot of print and pattern and put it all together.

My dream was to have a slide bannister so I could slide down and go out the door to work.
