Quote
1 I’ve teamed up with BaubleBar to curate a collection of gorgeous jewelry pieces. I worked closely with the BaubleBar team to design a collection that encompasses my style and all of my go to pieces.
2 I originally wanted to be a pop star. I wanted to be Kylie Minogue. My dad thought that was a very silly ambition and introduced me to drama classes. Once I became fixated on that, there was no stopping me.
3 I started my blog as an online diary. I moved to New York for a job, and I kind of wanted to keep my pictures all in one place. Also, I just love style blogs and wanted to join in on the fun!
4 I’ve been known to spend an afternoon on ASOS.com. There’s just so much on there, and I can’t stand not seeing all the new arrivals just in case I miss out.
5 I throw a leather biker jacket over everything. It adds an instant downtown cool vibe and stops a look becoming too girlie. Bonus points if you wear it like a cape!
6 It’s not exactly under the radar, but when I’m in London, I love to visit Liberty. It’s my favorite department store, and they have a room entirely dedicated to chocolate and truffles.
7 My first job was a film called ‘Storm Damage’ for the BBC. I was 16 and working with really respected British actors. I didn’t have an agent at the time, and it kind of threw me into real acting.
8 Mascara is my daily essential. I pile it on top and bottom lashes during the day. If I’m going out, I’ll add the individual Eylure lashes at the outer corners for more drama.
9 On shooting days, I have all my accessories, and I style the final look.
10 My ginger tabby cat Oscar – he’s got his own passport – he comes everywhere with me.
11 Statement earrings and statement necklaces each deserve their own moment. I never wear the two together; it looks overdone.
12 On the ‘Revenge’ set, even if they’re not showing my feet, I’ll still wear my heels because it gets me in the feeling of Ashley Davenport.
13 Nobody is all good or all bad.
14 I hate it when people are impolite to waiters or to the valet or the guy in the supermarket. There’s no need for that; it doesn’t cost anything to be polite.
15 When the weather is really hot, I tend to live in denim cut-offs.
16 I grew up in London. My parents and I lived in West Norwood, then we moved to Norbury, and I went to the Brit School. I’m a South London girl at heart.
17 I can remember hearing the theme tune to Dallas when I was supposed to be in bed. I would sneak down and try to watch it through the banisters. My mum loved that show.
18 You should see some of the things people tweet me. There have been death wishes on my Twitter timeline.
19 I’m happy with embellishment in a chunky Prada-esque way, but I’m not into sequins!
20 I was definitely nervous turning up on my first day to shoot with Woody Allen.
21 I still credit Adrian Lester with being one of my biggest influences.
22 I wish I wasn’t eating Cheetos every night. Those are my favorite – I’m addicted to them!
23 I’m terrible at posting regularly; I don’t deserve the blog success!
24 When someone comes to visit me, they have to bring tea – you can’t stay in my house if you don’t bring me tea.
25 The water in L.A. tastes like bleach. I literally have to make my tea with Evian water.
26 The second I tell myself I have to do something, I’m sure to do the opposite.
27 Topshop makes the best skinny jeans for my shape. I order online or stock up when I’m back in London.
28 There’s no rhyme or reason to how I dress.
29 I’m usually pretty good about meeting people. I try to remember they are human, too!
30 If I’m outside, I want something flat on my feet.
31 It often looks like an actor’s had a big break out of nowhere, but in reality, they’ve been working their way up, little by little, for a while.
32 I’ve read ‘Valley of the Dolls’ at least four times. It’s so epic!
33 If I love something, I wear it to death!
34 Fashion is ultimately a form of self-expression. That’s why I love trying out new things.
35 Don’t be afraid to pile on the midi rings! I like to play around with metals and pair delicate rings with chunkier ones.
36 Creating a character is about what they look like. The look speaks volume to the audience.
37 A light cotton cami is always great to stay cool.
38 Daphne Guinness, who makes couture seem wearable, is an icon who influences what I wear.
39 I like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, as it’s great for soothing dry skin and adding shine. I use it instead of balm, too.
40 I like pieces that have everyday appeal and can be worn anywhere!
41 I always carry multipurpose products in my handbag.
42 I like to play around with mixing high-end with more affordable pieces.
43 I like shopping from the comfort of my bed whilst my husband is asleep beside me.
44 I’m known for changing halfway through the day if my mood swings.
45 Comfort is key for a barbecue.
46 I am a Topshop homing pigeon! I can walk into the Oxford Circus branch and ferret out the best bits in minutes.
47 I always have loved witches.
48 Nude nail polish wins hands down over intricate nail art.
49 I don’t see myself as famous at all so I’m continuing my life as normal.
50 I love tea.
51 A colorful Chanel bag is a way to mix up anything.
52 When I first started working on ‘Secret Diary,’ I definitely felt like I needed to shape up. The idea of being in my knickers on TV was a great incentive! Now I try to eat right, and I go to Bikram yoga three or four times a week. I have my ‘naughty’ days, and I indulge in pizza and cake, but so what!
53 I think the best way to keep a relationship hot is to simply try to make time for each other. That’s it.

Bill Withers’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Bill Withers Net Worth: Bill Withers was an American singer and songwriter who had a net worth of $40 million at the time of his death in 2020. Bill Withers died on March 30, 2020 at the age of 81 from heart complications. During his career he wrote and performed a number of massive hit songs. His most famous songs include “Lovely Day”, “Aint No Sunshine”, “Lean on Me” and “Just the Two of Us”. Bill was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. He was born William Harrison Withers Jr. on July 4, 1938. As a kid he had a pronounced stutter. He joined the Navy at age 17 after graduating high school, going on to serve 9 years. In the Navy he was able to overcome his stutter. After leaving the Navy he worked as a milkman then at an aircraft parts factory. His musical career began in 1970, when his demo tape found its way to Clarence Avant at Sussex Records. He was quickly signed to a contract. One of the very first songs he recorded after entering a studio was “Aint No Sunshine”. A year later, 1971, Bill released his debut studio album “Just as I Am”. This album featured what would become one of Withers’ most popular songs, the aforementioned “Ain’t Sunshine”. The song was a huge hit, winning a Grammy for R&B song of the year and sending Withers on a whirlwind tour of success in pop music. His next album, “Still Bill”, was hotly anticipated before it was released just a year after his debut, in 1972. That album contained an even more popular hit for Withers, “Lean on Me.” His third million-seller song, “Use Me,” can also be heard on the album. Bill released a total of eight albums during his career. He largely walked away from the business in 1985. Bill Withers won three Grammy awards during his career. Decades after being first released, his songs are still frequently heard on the radio, covered by other artists and licensed for film and television. His Beverly Hills-based publishing company proved to be a highly lucrative business. The value of his music catalogue and royalty stream has been estimated in the tens of millions of dollars. He would later tell Rolling Stone that his royalty income and smart real estate investments made him a fortune over the years and allowed him to only perform publicly a handful of times from 1985 onward.
