  	My idea for the shoot, or at least for the half of it, was high street styling on white background.  I was a little anxious about the white background because so many things could've gone wrong with it, but I'm... 12 Comment/s

  	So it’s a new year, and we can all do with some improvements in our routine—like being more environmentally conscious, for one.  True, I won’t be claiming any hardcore status in the tree-hugging club, but I find myself reusing plastic... 5 Comment/s

  	I love high heels.  I am painfully (at least to myself) short--I'm 5'1" 1/2, and I never let anyone forget about the half inch.  I've been wearing shoes with high heels or soles that are well-padded to keep the illusion... 11 Comment/s
