ShoeMint Giveaway!

First, I obviously like everything about this photo, from the outfit (ooh) to that couch (OOH)...but mostly, I like the shoes, because, you know...leopard. I'm actually wait-listed for a pair right now (it appears that style in that print was just a wee bit popular).

ShoeMint, if you haven't heard about it yet, is a members-only shoe subscription service (the shoe equivalent of StyleMint, which you've read about here before), and a collaboration with the eminently fashionable actress Rachel Bilson, celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez, and shoe legend Steve Madden.

In a nutshell, here's how it works: you sign up, fill out your Style Quiz so that the site can get to know your unique look, and then each month a new collection of shoes is released and you receive new styles in your online showroom (along with trend reports and style tips). If you like what you see, you pick out a gorgeous pair of shoes that you would ordinarily pay hundreds for for just $78.98. If you don't see a pair you want, no problem: just skip it, and there's no charge for that month.

Three more pluses: ShoeMint offers hard-to-find sizes from 5-11, shipping is free, and all RG readers can use code SHACK for 10% off of their first pair of shoes through 2/29/12 (first-time buyers only).

Someone I’d Like You To Meet

I'm about to introduce you to one of the bravest women I've ever come across.

In the few weeks that I've been corresponding with Danielle, I've been struck by one thing above all: this girl is joyful. She's lived through an unimaginably horrific car accident in the Middle East, months and months of excruciating surgeries and rehab, and a chronic condition that was named one of the "5 Craziest Diseases" by FOX News...and her attitude - the joy with which she lives her life, and the peace that she radiates - is an inspiration. This woman is an inspiration.

You need to meet her.

Here's Danielle's story.

And just because I know there's someone out there for whom this would be beyond the perfect present:
