In honor of the third of anniversary for I Heart Heels, creator Julie Wax asked 10 bloggers to show how they wear their favorite heels. I was flattered to be asked to participate and of course, had no hesitations about which shoes to wear – my Miu Miu Swallow Satin Platform Pumps.

Here’s how I wore them, but check out all the fabulous shoes in her post from Keiko Lynn, Eye4Style and Think Thru Fashion, among other stylish bloggers over at I Heart Heels! Also, feel free to share your favorite heels and how you wear them best!

• Blazer and top: GAP (you can’t see in the pic, but turned shirt into crop-top via knot in the front)
• Jeans: Hudson via Bloomies in March (fav jeans I own)
• Shoes: Miu Miu from the SS10 collection
• Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag
• Necklace: Converted from a belt that came with a dress

 Hi friends,

I’m excited to share that I’ll be contributing to a new site called Life2PointOh!, which launched earlier this week. It’s all about 20-something girls conquering the quarter life and was started by Julie Miller (former editor at Seventeen.com who is now my colleague at Taylor), and Lauren Metz, a freelance journalist for E!, Bravo and other cool publications.

I’m not sure how frequent I’ll be posting yet, but my focus is on elevating your career and personal brand through all things geek chic…gadgets, style, etc.

I’ll still be posting on Clutch22 and want to thank you for sticking around through my inconsistent posting schedule and random non-fashion-related topics. To be completely transparent, what used to drive the content has shifted dramatically since moving to NYC and starting a new job. Expect to continue to see more of the random “whatever I feel like” stuff until I get some time to refresh the site and/or possibly bring on some support. Hopefully, you’ll find other value from it…even if only a smile (how can you not smile at stuff like Cute Roulette??).

In the meantime, go check out Life2PointOh!, they keep it fresh with cool stories everyday.

Project Beyond the Runway (by Julia)

Reading through the links this week, I realized that fashion week or no fashion week, fashion will most certainly go on! A winter snowstorm couldn’t even slow down New York Fashion Week, and the links below are testament to the wonderful style that exists beyond the runway, such as Ode to Awe‘s jewelry discovery, how to look chic while lounging by Cafe Fashionista, and tips for vintage shoe shopping by Wicked Whimsy. Don’t get me wrong, I love being ‘in the know’ on runway looks and trends, but how you interpret them and work them into your personal style is so much more important than remembering which designers showed one-shoulder looks this season!

As expected, there was a fabulous round-up of links in the forum as well, all worthy of your eyeballs!
