Politeness decrees that you must listen to be kind; intelligence decrees that you must listen to learn.

Chivalry isn't dead. It's just no longer gender-based.

Good manners are cost effective. They not only increase the quality of life in the workplace, they contribute to employee morale, embellish the company image, and play a major role in generating profit.

Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.

Running a business is incredibly hard, especially as a creative person, because you're extricated from the creative very quickly, and that is really hard. Obviously, I have experienced that first hand.

Your doubts are generated by fear, and fear is a series of distorted thoughts.

I think that when I started Man Repeller, the Internet was still hungry for authentic content from girls that weren't actresses or supermodels and were just relatable girls who had opinions and outfit ideas, and they weren't always good, but at least they were original.

That's what I always wanted Man Repeller to do - to change the way people actually think. Showing young girls that there are no rules.

I have a pretty decent understanding of which posts will perform better than others. Specifically on Instagram, when it's a style picture, those ones always get way more likes.

By the time I graduated college, I was sick of what was out there. I wanted to bring something new to the Internet.

I buy all my perfumes duty free - I think people are fools not to.

I don't take such good care of my skin; my mom kills me about it... I sit in the sun so much. I love a tan.

I have such a simple process - it takes me, like, ten minutes to get ready.

I really love the category on the site called Brain Massage.

Most people don't know this, but I never wanted Man Repeller to be about me. It was titled that to identify a genre of women.

I think Man Repeller is more about self-confidence than it is about a woman's relationship with a man.

I didn't launch the website with any goals in mind, to be honest. I didn't know that it would have been anything other than a digital portfolio once I graduated college.

My eyes will never be blue; my bone structure will never allow for you to mistake me for a Scandinavian model.

I am comfortable with how I look.

I don't hate what I see when I look in the mirror. Even if legions of others don't agree. I have accepted the reflection that reliably bounces back at me for its perks and its flaws.

Fashion Week is a great opportunity to make unimportant people feel like they own the world.

Being a man repeller becomes a process of elimination. If a guy is only really into your outfit and won't date you because of what you're wearing, they are too driven by the female exterior and don't care about your intellect.

If I have to give up good fashion for a relationship, I don't want a relationship.

When push comes to shove, no one really cares what you're wearing except you.
