‘Cause I’m a lay-dy

Every now and then, I feel like a proper lady–you know, the type of woman for whom vacuuming while wearing heels and a pointy bra is an everyday occurrence. I don’t have a bullet bra (gotta work on that), but I felt like a tight sweater and full skirt worn with pointy heels would be adequate, especially when paired with a headscarf and pompadour-ian Janelle Monae/Shingai Shoniwa-inspired updo.

The DFS Associate Director, Kelly–who was fabulous and obviously dedicated to helping the women in the program–gave me a personal tour of the operation and explained the suiting process (when clients come...

My DIY photography lightbox

After doing research for the product photography how-to post over at StyleSampleMag.com, I decided to try my hand at building my own bootleg lightbox. It was pretty simple, and I had most of what I needed just laying around the house: 1. Find a box. Cut holes in it. I used scissors (an X-acto knife probably would have worked better) to cut out opposite sides of an old shipping box and a smaller “flip up”...
