“Forget the stress of trying to find a taxi while you freeze. Ubers make you feel like you have a personal driver... a luxury!”

“I am not the beachy girl. I don't wear flip-flops and beachy dresses. I'm not as poufy and girlie, but I am the girl who dresses up.”

“Few changes are allowed in Palm Beach, making it an anachronistic little village where everything looks almost the same as it did years and years ago.”

“For some people, showing up at a bridal salon without a ring or a groom might appear bizarre and quite unusual--but for me, it's a regular Tuesday afternoon.”

“I'm very proud of what I accomplished here in New York - I had a clothing line, I had a lip gloss called Tinsley Pink, I wrote a book, I had a reality show and I did all these things.”

“A good set of lashes can fix anything... even a mugshot.”

“I was never made to feel that fashion was frivolous and any old dress would do. Fashion was serious stuff in my house and in my life. In fact, most memories I have growing up involve beautiful dresses.”

“But the annoying thing is designing the same thing for two different markets. Like clutches - Japanese girls have no use for clutches because they just go to the clubs right after work. They are so different from New York.”

“Many of us are taught to be ladies and keep our opinions to ourselves. But you can be completely railroaded if you don't make your point known by giving your opinion and speaking up.”

“I haven't seen my natural hair color in 20 years.”

“Everything is groomed in Palm Beach...the lawns, the streets, and the shops are all pristine, particularly those on world-famous Worth Avenue, one of the most fabulous shopping streets in the universe, with outposts of Gucci, Chanel, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton enticing residents and visitors.”

“Originally I was going to write a fashion style guide, but then my publishers suggested I write a novel instead.”

“When people think of socialites, they generally think of ladies of style whose purpose is to get their pictures taken a lot; girls who love social activities and being on the society 'circuit.'”

“A sweater around your neck is always a great idea.”

“If you have rules the guests need to follow concerning your staff or pets in your house, be sure to kindly let them know so that there will be no misunderstandings.”

“Southamptoners think they are being beachy, but they are far more dressy than Newport. Stylish wedge shoes and sandals for ladies - silk caftans or long casual pants.”

“She may be called 'Grace the Face' for her physical beauty, but Grace Meigher is as beautiful on the inside as the outside.”

“If I put cameras on you every day, you're gonna be emotional and nothing will be perfect. You have to allow people to be people.”

“I wasn't going to a charity event in order to get a picture, in order to get into a magazine.”

“I know when I go out and wear a pretty dress and get photographed, I'm going to be in the press, which will help with my business.”
