Buy clothes the size you want to wear.
Karl Lagerfeld

In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.

For every book you buy, you should buy the time to read it.

You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.
