I always think about the first day I came to FCW at the time. I remember walking in, and I had sparkly-sequin UGG boots on, sparkly-sequin jacket on, and matching sequin backpack.
Sequin trousers can be scary and many women may worry they will be unflattering on their legs.
In a dung heap, even a plastic bead can gleam like a sapphire.
For my very first September issue, I put Naomi Campbell on the cover. She was wearing this orange Anne Klein sequin suit - it would probably look incredibly '80s today.
Mastery is great, but even that is not enough. You have to be able to change course without a bead of sweat, or remorse.
I'm not a huge dresser-upper. Most of my closet is jeans, T-shirts, tennis shoes, and flats. I don't even know if I have a sequin gown in my closet.
Kardashian Kollection for Lipsy will have some amazing standout pieces like a full-lace jumper and metallic sequin jackets.
And now, I'm just trying to change the world, one sequin at a time.
You don't always have to opt for a dress on a night out - a sequin pencil skirt can be far more chic.
Pairing a sequin mini skirt with a velvet long sleeved bodysuit can never go wrong!
I'm not a prosecutor at home. I don't talk about my day, because nobody's interested. I might do something frivolous, like bead.
I love to use a lot of spices when I cook, so we actually cast a real peppercorn in gold and then just made a bead out of it for necklaces and earrings.
The dew-bead Gem of earth and sky begotten.
When I need to get away from my desk, I tend to take walks or go places. I also like to bead - working with beads to make jewellery.
The holidays are a time to - not quite play it safe - but play it classic. You don't want to be the girl in a head-to-toe sequin look, where you look like you should be an ornament on the tree.
I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another.
