Sometimes I wear red lipstick - it makes me feel sophisticated.

I never borrowed money from Mom. I lived at home, but my parents never helped me. I worked hard and moved out. I treated my blog like a business; hard work is important.

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

Initially what defined me as a 'man repeller' was my conscious effort to wear clothing that was attractive in my opinion but not necessarily in a man's opinion.

The number one thing I would say to someone who wants to start a business is if you really can't sleep at night and smack the passion out of yourself, then go for it, but if you can live a happy life working for someone else, do that.

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.

People always ask me how I muster the strength to be so open about things, and I explain to them that I took the Myers-Briggs test, like, four times, and every single time, I ranked an 87 percent extrovert, so it would probably take more strength for me to shut up.

Without getting too spiritual, God has done so much for me; the least I can do is drink Kiddush wine on a Friday night.

What good is a wall without framed art? It is like the equivalent of the accessories that you choose to wear to decorate a black dress - precisely the stuff that makes the wall/dress you.

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.

I haven't worn make-up since my wedding, and my husband loves me a lot.
Leandra Medine -
If I have to give up good fashion for a relationship, I don't want a relationship.

I have a degree in journalism, which is something that I make very clear very frequently just so people are aware of it. I went to school to write... Editorial integrity is very important to me.
Leandra Medine -
I have always, always loved words.

Most people assume that my style is so outlandish and out there, but the reality is I like very classic pieces just rendered unusually.
Leandra Medine -
I wanted to be my own editor, and by 'editor,' I mean unedited-or.
Leandra Medine -
I think Man Repeller is more about self-confidence than it is about a woman's relationship with a man.
Leandra Medine -
I buy all my perfumes duty free - I think people are fools not to.
Leandra Medine -
I'm really happy that people understand that man-repelling is a good thing. I was afraid people would think I was mocking fashion, and it's like, 'No, I swear, I'm wearing feathered sleeves as I write this!'

What a woman does or does not do to her face is personal. And as with most other things, makeup or a lack thereof can serve as either a prison or a fortress commanded by the mind: you can become a slave to it, or it can set you free.

I do know that I would never - though you should never say never - work with a decorator, because I don't want to see the touch of someone else in my own space.
Leandra Medine -
You're not stupid because you're interested in fashion, period.
Leandra Medine -
I love manicures - I'm really into colorful nails.
Leandra Medine -
I always wanted to make sure that I was honest to myself and that people wanted to hear an opinion that was authentic... I wanted Man Repeller to be a voice for women who felt like they didn't have a voice or for women who didn't know how to express their voice.
