Image
Waiting in line for something mundane is very boring. Waiting for my doctor to see me and waiting for my dentist to see me, yes, that is boring.
Andre Leon Talley
Image
Some days are good some days are not so good. Some days are really exciting. Some days are just tedious. You just have to get up out of bed.

Snooki and Honey Boo Boo. These are big celebrities in the U.S. You want to throw up.

I just need green. I need to wake up and see grass and squirrels. I don't want to see skyscrapers.

Image
I love people - it is not the fashion, it is the people in fashion I love.

Image
It's incorrect to assume you can be a fashion editor because you blog, if you don't have experience to look at fashion in a professional way.
