Every season, really, has their own chemistry.

Style for me is some one who figures out who they are. What works on them. What they feel good in and develops that. Develops their character. And the outer expression of their character is what is style.

When you find somebody good, keep them in your life.

Glamour is something more than what you put on your body. It has to do with the way you carry yourself and the impact you have on others.

It’s funny, our beauty standard has become harder and tougher because we live in a tough age. I don’t think anyone wants to walk down the street and feel vulnerable. You want to walk down the street and feel like you’re in control.

Meditation is like a plane: It first takes you high, then far away and then further away imperceptibly.

Meditation means this opening out of the soul to the Divine and letting the Divine shine in without obstruction from the personal self. Therefore it means renunciation. It means throwing away everything that one has, and waiting empty for the light to come in.
