It's a first for the designer!

Ahead of the event, we scored an EXCLUSIVE chat with Kristin about life, work, fashion, and her upcoming book Balancing In Heels!

Read on for HIGHlights!

On motherhood and fashion: I don't think you have to sacrifice fashion just because you are a mom. I still wear the same shoes and clothes that I loved before having kids. The only difference is that I wear more flats since I'm running around with the kids most days. If you would have told me 4 years ago that I would be this excited about my CHANDY flat, I would have told you you were crazy! Having kids has definitely changed my approach to business though. On the work/life balance: My family is my number one priority and because of that, I have to absolutely love whatever it is I'm doing work-wise. I've passed on some great hosting opportunities because they would have kept me in LA but those are the sacrifices I don't mind making because they're for my children. Now everything I do, I wholeheartedly believe in and love, otherwise I won't do it.

On designing versus writing: Writing my new book [is harder]- but more specifically, writing the outline. Before I began writing, I locked myself in my office for 3 days to write a thorough outline detailing exactly what I was going to say. Once that was in place, the writing wasn't too difficult. It was just a matter of filling in the holes and I found it just flowed.

On her go-to sexy outfit: Any form fitting dress. I'm very petite and get swallowed in clothes easily so I need to show off the bump to have any sort of shape. A dress with a pair of heels and I'm feeling pretty good!

On wearing heels while pregnant: I don't mind it! I don't wear the huge, huge heels that I used to but I can still get around in 3-4 inch heels with no problem. Although most days I'm either in gym shoes or flats!
