What inspires you?
Music is the most inspiring part of my life.. Music definitely inspires my
collections. Some songs provide visuals to a song that can then be made into
a hot little handbag or piece of jewelry. Traveling to South East Asia is
also very inspiring as it pulls me out of my routine and give me fresh eyes
being in such a different part of the world.

The holidays are coming up so soon! Do you have any holiday tips?
Be grateful.. Buy yourself presents. Don’t buy too many winter clothes
because in California in January and February it can start to feel like
Spring! Don’t believe in all the New Years Pressure.. But Take some time off
to reflect on the past year and kiss 2011 goodbye and make lots of wishes on
stars for all your dreams to come true in 2012..

How would you describe your personal style?
My Style is very comfort-oriented with skinny, stretchy mother jeans, or LNA
Leggings or Bell Bottoms, which is pretty dressed down, high sexy stilettos
or booties to add some femininity, a preferably fake fur jacket, or a top
mixed with cotton and pleather (love this combo), big sunglasses, lots of
bracelets - right now wearing punk princess bracelet in silver, but I want
it in gold as soon as it comes IN STOCK!, renaissance ring, the new midnite
bracelet with dipped black and gold.. other bracelets I often wear is the
baja Malibu bracelet in black.. my bag du jour is either the onie in black,
the leight luxe in black or the love 82 in black python.. hence, I only
carry black bags, ever.. wink..

How did you start your own line?
I spent some time in the Himmalayas outside of Kathmandu Nepal and weeks
turned into months and the country was still very underdeveloped at the time
so I had to make any clothes that I wanted to wear.. spring was coming and I
had no new spring clothes! So I teamed up with local seamstresses and with
my native language skills taught them a whole new way of making dresses - LA
Style (very different from the traditional Tibetan clothing they are used
to). Then I spent some time working at MTV and the Style Network at E! and
did did Awards shows and profiled the lives of various designers and fashion
icons.. I then met a very legendary manufacturer who taught me everything I
know about making jewelry and then quickly moved onto bags once the jewelry
took off..
