Best styling tip you can share?

Trends are great because they help you become aware of something you’ve maybe overlooked, in a new way. However, don’t just wear something because it’s trendy – just because it suits someone else doesn’t mean it will suit you. And find a good tailor.

Favorite motivational saying / quote / advice?

Nothing makes me unfollow someone faster than an inspirational quote, but a motto I’ve followed since I went out on my own is “slow and steady wins the race.” I also have a quote from Polly Mellen in my notebook that I think is very applicable to being a stylist: “Adjusting, keeping quiet and always moving on. The push and pull of making one’s voice heard, but always listening, because that’s the game, especially when you’re not the boss. And, finally, never being a pessimist. Optimism always prevails.”
