I have always wanted to be an herbal tea drinker. That's just the kind of person I want to be. I love to walk down the aisle at Whole Foods and pick out blends for enlightenment or a faster metabolism, hoping to fill my body with so many antioxidants that a begin to age...

I love a good coincidence. It makes me feel like perhaps there is something else – something on my team -- that I can’t see.
A few months ago I did a trunk show in Connecticut where I met a woman who wanted to buy one of my horseshoe bracelets for a friend.

What would be the opposite of a hoarder? Whatever that is, I think I am it.
