I was so honored to chat with the lovely Julie Solomon on her recently launched podcast, The Influencer Podcast. It is an innovative behind-the-scenes community with successful influencers, bloggers and industry elites in conversation to share how they engage, persuade and grow their unique influence. Each episode is filled with so much insight - I have already learned so much.Julie is such a dear friend and was the key component to my re-brand, which led to the launch of LSK, so it was extra special chatting with her about my career journey + important tips and tricks I have learned in the blogging industry from the beginning to the present. I also share how to create healthy business boundaries. Easier said than done, right? Listen here and check out the show notes here!

Kisses for Your Shoes: Jordana Silver Launches an Innovation That Will Make Sole-Lovers Swoon

We ladies have a knack for buying shoes, or you could maybe even call it an intentional pursuit to which we like to shift blame onto seasonal changes or creative ruts to justify the "need." But without doubt, this heart-wrenching reality still remains true even in our fantasy land: the pretty designer shoes (that literally call our name) have hefty price tags. So the story continues: our responsible conscious tells us that we should probably eat for the month rather than splurge on Louboutins, so we ultimately but begrudgingly settle for the downgraded quality that are "almost" as cute while convincing ourselves that we are just as excited. Here's a thought: what if we no longer had to sacrifice quality for cost efficiency, while getting to sport those marvelous soles that usually fall out of our league? Before you start guessing, I am not talking about a new Gilt Groupe. It's something dreamier.Meet the Jordana Silver Collection, founded by a former Michael Kors designer, Jordana Silver. Her designs are based around shoe clips, which she calls "bisous," translated as "kisses" in French. Yes, these are kisses for your shoes. Are you head over heels yet?The process works like this: buy a pair of her luxurious flats and start customizing with an aesthetic that reflects your personal style. Jordana dishes on the designs: "Some of the bisous are whimsical like the gunmetal polished mustaches, while others are more classic in nature like a metal bow." To put it fashionably: you can buy a fabulous new pair of shoes for $40-$75 by changing out the clip! I see a collection in the making. To make it even better, check out her uber-fun website. You can play on here for hours.

The Website Perks

1. Virtually design your shoes.2. Comment on the bulletin board. Do you have an idea for a bisou? Post it. Want to share a thought about your shoes? Post it.3. The Jordana Silver Stylist Program (my favorite). This not only celebrates the stylist in everyone, but it rewards loyal customers with free and eventually exclusive bisous by promoting you from a "Junior Stylist" all the way to a "Master Stylist."4. Your Bisous Box: in the words of Jordana, this is a "unique and custom keepsake box that displays all of your treasures."Fun fact: The Bring It On Broadway show cast will be performing in the bisous!

Who wants in on the club? I DO! Start by exploring her collection here. See you there!

Snakeskin: So Fierce!

Animal prints are strong this season, so why not accessorize with them? A hint here or there can make for a fashion forward look…which brings me to snakeskin, one of our favorite prints. While snakeskin is seen in several colors, sometimes finding the more natural tones are easier to wear. The key to looking chic with the print: don't over do it. Choose one item to accessorize with at a time. We have picked a belt, clutch and bold pair of shoes to accessorize with this fall!Topshop Faux Snakeskin Belt; Steven Madden Wedges; MICHAEL Michael Kors Clutch
