Elle UK: Katy Perry Roars

Let's be honest, I LOVE this girl (so I love this Elle UK editorial).

I'm on a leopard print kick so here's a little shoe inspiration from Katy's latest single and her VMA outfit from Sunday:

• J.Crew Biella Calf Hair Tassel Loafers
• J.Crew Etta Calf Hair Pumps
• Club Monaco April Leopard Calf Hair Pump
• Club Monaco Casey Leopard Calf Hair Sandal

Shop all J.Crew shoes & all Club Monaco shoes (p.s. use code FINAL50 for 50% off at Club Monaco).

Lyons, Tigers, and Heels Oh My!

J.Crew holds the key to my heart, no doubt about it. So, you can imagine why I'm digging this video of J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons showing off her shoe collection - 289 pairs! You might also learn a thing or two about J.Crew shoes...

Amber Is The Color Of Your Energy

I'm having a love affair with the Tibi Amber Heel. So much so that I can't decide which I covet most - the cobalt and mint are to die for but the nude/silver/black combo is an exciting classic. And then there's the classic black. Swoon.

What Are You Wearing On New Year's Eve?

I am a firm believer that New Year's Eve = an excuse to get dolled up and a little bit wild. Don't hold back when perusing your closet or shopping for the perfect dress or shoe for NYE. I say the bigger, the brighter, and the sparklier, the better!

Two years ago I wore Diane Von Furstenberg's Chiffon and Sequin Dress:

Here seen on Leighton Meester in Glamour (Dec. 2009):

But this year I am wearing Kate Spade's Twirl Dress. I bought it last January in New York and have been waiting for the right occasion to flaunt it. New Year's Eve feels appropriate!

Happy last minute New Year's Eve shopping!

Put a MINTY fresh new twist on your style

Are you looking for a unique necklace to tie your next going-out outfit together? Or, are you in search of the perfect tee to dress down for class but also to dress up with a blazer for work? Look no further than the less than one-year-old BeachMint brands! I have been an avid fan of Kate Bosworth's JewelMint since last spring. Over the summer, I became obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's StyleMint. Recently, I was overjoyed to see Rachel Bilson's winter debut collection with ShoeMint. Lastly (as of now), for all you skin savvy ladies out there, Jessica Simpson has launched BeautyMint.

Here's the deal... First, you take a quick and easy style profile quiz. Next, you are matched with your top personalized styles. You are then free to shop your favorite styles at very reasonable prices. Every month you are paired with new exclusive designs. However, if you are not in love with your picks for the month you are free to skip the month with no charge. It is that easy!

Go ahead, freshen up your wardrobe with BeachMint's ahhh-mazing lines.
