In tribute to Women's History Month: A Woman President and Her All Female Security Detail
Below is a gem of an article I found as I was "mining" the amazing World Wide Web. This blogger poses the question: Who makes up your inner circle?
As we enter the last month of the first quarter of 2011, I challenge you to take a critical inventory of people with whom you closely align yourself. Do these people love you unconditionally? Do they support your dreams or do they doubt your ability? Can they teach you anything useful and/or empowering? Or, as in the case of the Brazilian President's female body guards, will those closest to you protect you in times of trouble or emergency? Read the article below, pass it on and be inspired!

A Polyvore Look
For all the Polyvore fans out there, check out this fabulous collection of "designer" pieces I recently created on the site. Yes, all fashionistas add at least 4 or 5 pieces of the newest (or resurrected) styles to their wardrobe each season but lets be real; most working women simply cannot afford to pay $700 for a pair of pumps.
Its true that you get what you pay for, but its also true that "designer" clothes/shoes may be marked up 1000% over their wholesale price. Which brings up the question of what is true value? What makes one orange jersey sweater sell for $75 vs. another one (with a different label) costing $350? For instance look at this beautiful jersey tunic for just $59.95 (a savings of $108 over the light brown DVF designer top #1 below). Soft Surroundings
But we're allowed to dream, and that's where Polyvore comes in; giving anyone on any budget a glimpse into the desginer fashion lifestyle. Think of creating a designer doll clothes collection, but without the doll. Or better yet, imagine working as a stylist for your favorite singer or actor? Yes, some people actually get paid very well to SHOP for a living! Or finally, you could dust off that thing in your head called an "imagination" and pretend these clothes are (from your most recent shopping spree) laying on your bed and you're contemplating that very important decision of what to wear...

Are you looking for a platform shoe that's just a little bit more feminine than an ankle boot and is versatile enough to go from indoor Winter wear to Springtime (even Summer) wear? If so, take a look at these adorable multi-colored (black and pewter) platform sandals from Pelle Moda.
These very trendy, yet classic shoes feature a Nappa leather upper, with an adjustable buckle, leather lining and Leather outsoles . Leather outsoles are the sign of a well made shoe, and are essential if you ever need your soles replaced. You will walk with confidence and grace on an approximate 4 ½" heel with a ¾" platform. The platform makes it feel as if you were walking on a 3" heel and creates added stability.
