This is the Day: Baby Your Heart for Valentine's Day
2008-02-15 00:20:00
Pretty little hearts of all shapes and sizes have taken over for Valentine's Day. From paper hearts decorating your home, to heart-shaped candy boxes, to Valentines adorned in hearts-- they're everywhere. But, as much as the heart is the symbol of the day, I bet you haven't give much thought today to one very important heart in your life: your own.Heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the United States. In fact, heart disease kills more women each year than all forms of cancer combined. That's a pretty sobering statistic. And yet, it's so easy to minimize your risk of developing heart disease. From understanding your family history, to changing up your diet, to incorporating exercise into your daily routine-- it's so easy to make the kinds of changes that could really change your life.I say, in honor of Valentine's Day, why not make a pledge to give your heart a little TLC!

Girl Talk Reviews: Vibe Vault iPod Cases
2008-02-13 16:29:00
Fashionable girls have fashionable toys. Pretty little baubles that look as good as their owner. Now the real problem: how to keep them that way. With lives populated by piles of goodies, the Stiletto Jungle Girl Talk panelists are always on the lookout for stylish ways to keep their big girl toys in tip top shape. When they were offered the chance to review Vibe Vault , a new line of nearly indestructible iPod cases that still manage to keep all of the buttons and dials available for use, the Girl Talk panel jumped on it! Would this new line live up to their claims of superior protection?"When Vibe Vault arrived and I really liked the color-- a bronze look," starts Tina, a San Diego-based attorney. "I had to disassemble it to then put my iPod inside. I finally got all the locks in place and was ready to go. My first impression is that it made my iPod actually feel heavier and seem bigger. Which, if you have the iPod mini, that isn't really what you are after. I like that my iPod is...

FOUND: Hayden Panettiere's Silky Neck Tie Top
2008-02-11 16:58:00
photo: instyle.comWith all of the Grammy chatter over the weekend I nearly forgot about young Hollywood... well, at least for a few days. But, I was quickly snapped back to my original celebrity fashion obsession: chic actresses sporting clothes I can actually afford! The cause of my quick reversion? I remembered that I had this fabulous pic of Hayden Panettiere at the Old Navy premiere event sitting in storage. Doesn't she look fabulously sleek and ladylike?There's nothing like a form-fitting pencil skirt to make a girl stand up a little straighter, but it's what you pair with that pencil skirt that makes the real magic happen. Hayden's frothy, bow-bedecked blouse is just right for evoking modern Hollywood glamour. Want to steal Hayden Panettiere's lush, ladylike style? She's wearing the Neck Tie Top from Nu Collective.

Grammy Style Spotlight: Hush Puppies

Hush Puppies "Lavish" Boot$142.95Free ShippingAvailable at: zappos.comRecently I had the chance to visit the Grammy Style Studio to get a sneak peak at the hottest designers catering to the stars this year. I spotted two designers that were so worthy of a mention that they deserved their own spotlight. Yesterday I covered Edun; up next: Hush Puppies.A brand that you might not think of as synonymous with the Grammy Awards is Hush Puppies. I almost did a double take when walking by their table... and was curious enough to stop in and say hello. Their table was full of cozy looking shoes, including these wonderfully tall suede boots that I could barely take my eyes off of while I was speaking to the Hush Puppies representative. This year marks Hush Puppies' 50th anniversary, and they are celebrating in a big way. Not only are they teaming up with my favorite charity ever, Best Friends Animal Society, but they have also paired up with contemporary designers to breathe a little new life...

I read an article on the Edun ONE t-shirt and how Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson, had started a socially conscious clothing line to help fight the extreme poverty in Africa by encouraging others to do business and improve working conditions and build sustainable communities in Africa. This cause hit home for me, and I absolutely wanted to participate in some way. They ended up selling tens of thousands of t-shirts worldwide and the Edun label was born.This was my top priority label when I arrived at the Grammy Style Studio; I couldn?t wait to check out their new tees and see what else the company has offered since t...

Our Grammy Style Studio invite!Music and fashion consistently go hand in hand, but during the Grammy Awards this pairing seems to reach new heights. Everything in this awards show is about bold and creative statements, from the over the top performances, to elaborate parties, and of course the red carpet fashion show! Stiletto Jungle was able to score an invite to the official Grammy Style Studio (aka: Swag Party!) in Hollywood this year, and I was the lucky one chosen to stop in and get a sneak peak of all the top trends in fashion, footwear, and accessories. Considering this was my first time covering a fashion event, I really had no idea what to expect. The Studio was by appointment only. My appointment was at the very opening of the event, so I was able to see everything before the crowd hit. It was quite a spectacle! A red carpet was rolled out for photographers and press leading up to a very large warehouse. From the outside, you?d never guess what you are walking into.Inside,...

Online Exclusive: The Ugg Australia Trunk Show at Nordstrom
2008-02-07 17:12:00
NEW! Ugg "Rochelle" Sandal$149.95Available at: nordstrom.comI'll come right out and say it. I don't get Uggs. One day they are the hottest thing on the planet, the next they are so last year. Then, wait, they're back again. I don't own a pair. Yet. After years of watching over-allowanced SoCal teens run around in mini skirts and Uggs in 80 degree weather, I was dead set against ever wearing a pair. Then I moved to the SF Bay Area, where the weather is dreary all winter long. Now, I kind of like the idea of a pull-on, shearling lined, super soft boot that I can wear sans socks and still be super cozy. Argh.So, here I am, mid-indecisiveness about the whole Ugg situation, when I get a nudge in the pro-Ugg direction. The Ugg Australia Trunk Show has arrived at Nordstrom .com. The entire new Spring line of Ugg shoes is available for pre-order online only. Sure, there aren't any boots in the new Spring line, but is it a sign?Ugg "Classic Tall" Boot$149.95Available at: nordstrom.comI'...
