When you're growing up, you play dress-up - it's a game, it's a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.

When you are working really hard and you're really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer.

One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.

Whenever someone comes up to me and says, 'I'm having trouble shopping.' I tell them to pull out their 10 favorite, most-worn pieces, then build a wardrobe around them. Those staples are going to be different for everybody.
