Team Low Heels or Team High Heels

Hayley Cremean — Sat, 12 May 2012 10:03:58 +0000

You are on Team Low Heels if you prefer to wear heel heights that are lower than three inches. You are on Team High Heels if you prefer to wear three inch heels or heels higher than three inches. All heel types count for this poll, be it stilettos, wedges, platforms or stacked heels.

I bat for Team Flats, but if Im going to wear a heel with an everyday outfit, its a shoe with a one and half or two inch heel. Anything over two inches and I start to slow down, with the exception of my Frye boots. Although they are just over two inches, I seem to be okay walking around at a fast pace in those all day.

I have three pairs of high heeled party shoes with heels just over three inches. T

Celebrity Weddings: Michael Buble’s Eventful Nuptials

David Clift — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:48:12 +0000

A black cloud fell upon Michael Buble’s white wedding day. While the Canadian singer and his new wife, Luisana Lopilato, were saying I Do, burglars were raiding the couple’s home in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The thieves disabled Buble’s alarm system and covered up security cameras. And since it all went down on the couple’s wedding day, it appears this was a pre-planned, well-orchestrated robbery job. Now, exactly what or how much was taken from Buble’s home remains a mystery, and the singer’s blushing bride refused to let the thieves rain on her parade. When learning about the break-in, Lopilato told reporters, ‘I will not let this ruin the happiest day of my life.’

So now, let’s dish on the happiest day of Luisana’s life! And actually, it wa

Lori sees a lot of women walk into her bridal salon, and shes sized up sisters pretty accurately. Theyre usually polar opposites when it comes to shopping, she says. And the sister whos not getting married is the one who wants to choose the dress. Sound accurate to you? Well, lets take a look at how things played out with Jackie Jo and sis Lacy Lee!

Ladies of YLF, The Calendar

Hayley Cremean — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:48:44 +0000

We dont normally post on Sundays, but Im just too thrilled about this project to wait until tomorrow. It gives us GREAT pleasure to announce the making of Ladies of YLF, The Calendar. Its been my dream to start my own modeling agency one that celebrates the diversity of women across body type, age and ethnicity. Of course, finding the resources to follow through on this dream is easier said than done. So we came up with the more manageable stepping stone of a calendar, and Im so very excited.

We want our calendar to scream YLF mantras like style is beyond size, that there is no one way to be stylish, and that style is an expression of individuality. We
