Today, we're taking a trip down memory lane to 2011 when NYC-based photographer Brantley Gutierrez photographed Vanessa Carlton (widely known for her piano ballads and of course, for the 2001 hit single "A Thousand Miles") for Zooey Magazine.
Dressing Simple | Cloud Nine
This winter has been abuzz with 100 layers and 6 coats, and we literally just can't even (thank you, SNL, for giving us the best dialogue of the season). In the latest addition to our series "Things We Love," we showcase shades of blues and whites to keep things fresh as spring paves its way through the snow. We're calling it Cloud Nine and that is helping us turn our can't's into can's.

As We Are | Jacqueline Toboni
I am really passionate about the human trafficking issue. It’s happening and it’s horrible. What’s even more horrible to me, is how our society is perpetuating the situation. When you see a prostitute in society, you outcast them and feel this is on them. But you have to realize that the person is probably 17, and was taken under the care of a pimp at 14 and placed on the streets, because she had no option. In what world are these prostitutes not victims? You have to imagine yourself without the upbringing that you had. There is a fine line. These are stories that don’t often get told.
