It is always a hoot to talk to my East Coast eco-friend Remy Chevalier. Drawbacks of nuclear power, sustainable fashion, developments in the NYC green world - there is always a lively discussion between the two of us. This time, he recruited me to be interviewed for the In The Loop blog from online store Greenloop. [...]

Longing to have the lean muscles of a dancer but have about as much rhythm as Elaine on Seinfeld? Save the money you would spend on tap shoes and invest in a Pilates class instead. Similar to yoga with its concentration on breathing, the practice of Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates in just the [...]

After almost a year of writing daily, I’ve returned to the world of modeling. No matter how many times I “take a break” from the visually-focused work of fashion, I end up coming back. I enjoy the creative process so much. I just can’t stay away! Check out the pictures from my 2nd photo shoot in 10 months, [...]

The newsstands will soon feature another piece of my swank writing work. I received my copy of CRAFT Magazine’s 8th issue in the mail yesterday.

Who are all you people? Why are you here? What do you want from me!? It sounds a bit melodramatic, but that’s the concept behind the First-Ever Victoria-E.com Reader Survey. In less than 3 months, Victoria-E.com will be 2 years old. It’s time to share your thoughts on the good, the bad, and the ugly elements of this blog. [...]

Our homes (and lives) just wouldn’t be the same without our fine, furry friends. With all the love and attention we shower on our fidos and felines, shouldn’t they get the benefit of a natural, sustainable lifestyle too? Eco-friendly options for cats and dogs (along with many other animals) have multiplied exponentially in the past decade. [...]

Is downward dog a daily occurrence? Can you credit yoga for your sanity? Has your yoga practice influenced your personal or professional lives? Then I want to talk to you!
