I've always loved the beauty world. Ever since I was a child, I looked at magazines and wore fragrances and tried out samples and sets.

I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.

As a girl, my favorite toy was my dollhouse; if I could still play with it now, I would!

If you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll look your best, and I think that's a really important idea. Sometimes, whether it's fashion or beauty, things are on-trend, and they look beautiful on the runway, but when I apply them to myself, it doesn't look the way it should.

Everyone always asks, 'Did you ever rebel? Did you dye your hair blue? Did you wear black nail polish?' I mean, of course, there have been episodes when you wear weird-colored lipstick... But generally, I think I was pretty much the way I am now.

When my boys were little, I'd throw so many toys at them, but they didn't want to play with any. Then I'd give them a truck, and they would play for hours. I believe the same thing applies to a consumer - edit their choices, and they will be more intrigued.

Rose is the most beautiful flower - it and tuberose are my favourites.

I'm a very visual person, and I love opening beautiful books on art or design and looking through them.

I love going to museums, especially the Met, because there's always room for discovery, or the Neue Galerie. It's a great jewel box.

Sunday is about relaxing and wearing anything comfortable. I love wearing a J. Crew shirt and jeans, which is a treat because I never wear these kinds of clothes during the week.
