Chicago stylist, brand-builder and all-around fashion expert Mel Muoio has incredible style and killer shoes. Her Valentino Rockstud pumps (these are limited-run black calf hair, no less) are catnip for a street-style photographer like me.

 

Duh.

 

 

What’s less expected is her eloquent, thoughtful personal blog. More than just a repository of personal outfit photos, Mel shares new discoveries, exciting updates about her enviable career as a creative consultant, and tips about how to have one of those impossibly well-curated lives (by someone who manages to do just that).

 

Mel, it was a pleasure meeting you – again!
