Back then it was called "High Heeled Foot In The Door." Nowadays, Camila is a professional designer, and her blog is known as <a href="http://blog.effortless-style.com/2012/06/in-her-shoes-the-zhush/" target="_blank">Effortless Style</a>. One of my favorite features has always been the "In Her Shoes" series, where readers get to see a typical day in the life of someone in a design related field.  So, imagine how thrilled I was when Camila asked me to participate in this very series last week! You can <a href="http://blog.effortless-style.com/2012/06/in-her-shoes-the-zhush/" target="_blank">see the whole post here</a>. Thanks Camila!</div>
