Since I was a young girl, I always wanted to pursue law studies. I would have never imagined that my career would have taken a complete different route.

Looking into the camera creates a special eye and soul contact.

I never liked the idea of taking a photo just for yourself - I think everything is better when shared.

I love Europe even though I'm based in the U.S.

There isn't that disconnect between the fashion industry and people now - you can be a trendsetter even if you don't go to shows. The industry isn't as snobbish as it used to be.

I was so proud of my team and myself for changing the rules of the fashion industry.

Everybody would like to be on the cover of 'Vogue.'

This mix of willingness and passion made me the businesswoman I am now.

What could be a better recipe than mixing fashion and food?

Express yourself. Tell us who you are. If you would never wear pearls in real life, don't wear them when you get married.

During the fashion month, I have a very busy schedule and not much time to dedicate to my hair, but I cannot neglect it if I want to maintain it healthy and always perfect. Taking care of it with the right products while keeping it healthy allows me to wear strong and shiny hair even without having to avoid experimenting new styles and looks.

When someone calls me a blogger, I think, 'That's one of the things I used to do.' I'm a creative director for my shoe brand; I'm the editor-in-chief of 'The Blonde Salad,' which is a website and not just a blog anymore.

It's bizarre to say all bloggers are sellouts.

After my first fashion week, there were so many brands approaching us, and we said 'No' 90 per cent of the time. We didn't care about making a lot of money - it seemed so short term. We've always wanted to create something bigger.

I was at lunch with some friends one day, and we looked down at our table - blond pasta, blond pizza - and then someone joked, 'Blonde salad,' and it stuck.

Some loved me, some hated me - but they all followed me.

I've never tried too hard.

I strongly prefer to keep my hair loose and wavy, leaving it as natural as possible.

For makeup, I prefer to keep it simple for the daytime.

I change my beauty routine every six months, but I make sure to use products that are light and gentle.

Of course, you decide which story you want to tell. For me, it's been very authentic, so sometimes I'm super happy, and I post four pictures one after the other; sometimes I'm busy, and I don't. Sometimes I'm sad, and I post a sad picture.

I could have been like so many other bloggers or 'influencers' who just have their agent and are more like celebrities, but I've never wanted it to be only like that. Of course, I still want that part in my life, but I also wanted to create a brand.

I've always been into shoes and bags.

Don't think too much. The best pictures come naturally.
