I think style is very different from fashion. Fashion was what I went after when I was feeling incredibly insecure and monstrous on the inside.

I'm not as snarky as I used to be.

Matching your hat to your shoe to your bag, or your necklace to your earrings, has a tendency to look dated. Mixing up your accessories adds interest to an outfit, and can make you look much more modern and polished.

You don't need money to look fabulous. There are so many awesome new designers, so many designers doing collections for mass retailers.
Stacy London
Image
You should feel beautiful and you should feel safe. What you surround yourself with should bring you peace of mind and peace of spirit.

There is something about a well-fitted modern jacket that feels like armor. If it's cut well, it adds a dose of cool to anything you wear it with and does the heavy lifting when it comes to creating a flattering shape.

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

Fashion is an industry to make money. It plays into human psychology. We want to belong, we want to be loved. I'm not trying to demonize the fashion industry - I love the fashion industry - but style is about taking the control out of the industry's hand and having you decide what works for you.

The fact is, there is only one body ideal in fashion, and most likely, you don't have it.

I know what it feels like to struggle with your weight, and it makes me understand why women get attached to numbers on a scale or a dress size. It doesn't mean that I have gotten over all of it myself, because I have good days and bad days just like everyone else.

I don't argue style on the basis of tastes. If you feel like you've reached your personal best, don't change.
Stacy London
Image
Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.
Stacy London

Style can change your look, certainly, but it can also change your life.
Stacy London
Image
You have to look in the mirror and see that what you're wearing looks good on the body you have now. Wearing a larger size is just wearing a larger size.

The fashion industry [is] built on, and thrives on, our collective insecurity.
Stacy London
Image
Not one person I know isn't concerned with their appearance. To trivialize fashion is to rob ourselves of a great tool.

I'm not one of those people who wakes up and thinks, 'Bring on the day!' I have to have about 7 pints of coffee before I'm even remotely awake. But I love the golden hour in the evening, as hokey as that sounds. Just as the sun is about to set and you get those lovely shadows and everything looks gold and yellow.

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.

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.

Style is all about your individual sense of how you want to present yourself to the world. It's about loving what you've got instead of wishing for what you're not.

If you only have work clothes - the black trouser and ribbed turtleneck you got four years ago at the Gap - you're not participating in your own style personality.
