“When I started my first business I felt that success to me would be able to do what I love, be a great mother and be able to give back to my community.”
“The way I work allows me to always be present in my children's lives, even if that means staying up until 1 am working after they've gone to sleep.”
“A simple 'thank you' goes a long way.”
“You can't let failure control your entire future.”

“Every single day I wake up and I'm running a company bigger than it was the night before.”
“I love design and fashion.”
“I want to give our customers the best quality products at an attainable price.”

“You should have a great place to work, a place that you're passionate and excited about getting up to go to every morning, that's supportive.”
“In 2010, we launched a full e-commerce website. We opened our first store in Austin, when most of the stores around us were shuttered - which people thought was completely insane.”
“I wanted customers to engage with the product and have fun, to touch and feel the pieces and try them on, like how we shop for clothes.”
“I was no stranger to doors shutting in my face during the early days of my business. And I could have easily let that discourage me - too many aspiring entrepreneurs do. But instead, I learned that whenever I heard the word 'no,' I would turn on the charm and find a way to engage in a conversation with the person telling me 'no.'”
“One of the best ways to set the mood and overall theme for a party is by using color. I've had a Moroccan party, an Oscars party and even an African-themed party, and I always go all out!”

“I've always loved fashion and helping other people feel like their most confident self.”
“There's always something going on at our stores. That's a very big driver of our business.”
“We're trying to build a legacy brand that will stand the test of time.”
“I think for entrepreneurs to ask for help is not a sign of weakness; it's an incredible sign of strength.”
“No matter what comes at you, you can get through it.”
