It’s that time again, time to meet another one of the fabulous publishers of the Glam Network. As I told you earlier, I had the pleasure to meet this dynamic lady at a recent cocktail event, where she was rocking some hot highwaisted jeans, a tie-neck blouse and updating me on her obsession- the shopping blog she started about a year about, Stiletto Jungle!  As Editor-in-Chief, Stephanie Rahlfs has put together a great team of unique gals who contribute daily posts on shopping deals, star style, how to’s, beauty reviews and more!  Stiletto Jungle’s moto says it best: A shopping blog for fun, fashionable women who are long on style, but short on time! Now, learn more about the ”tourguide” herself, the woman behind the blog…

Stephanie from Stiletto Jungle

Let us in on 5 fun facts about you!
1. I have a serious sweet tooth, with a particular weakness for imported gummy candies.
2. I’ve lived, for short periods of time, in both London and Florence and spent a total of over two months traveling through several other countries… but I’ve never once been to New York City.
3. I cried the first time I saw a Van Gogh in person.
4. I’ve testified before the California legislature, completed five jury trials, and advised the city council of the eighth largest city in the nation… all in 4” stiletto heels.
5. I colored my hair for the first time ever in 2005, and have changed the color five times since then. I think it’s an addiction. For the record, I’m naturally dark blonde.

What is your favorite item in your closet? It changes every time I buy something new, but right now I’m totally in love with my 7 For All Mankind “Ginger” jeans.

Fill in the blank: I can’t live without… 4” heels

What’s your favorite gift to give? Luxurious bath and body products—the kind people typically wouldn’t purchase for themselves.

If you could max out your credit card at one shop, which one?  Barney’s Co-Op

What is one thing every woman should own? A slim black pencil skirt that fits like it was made for her and her alone.

What inspired you to start your blog/site? As a twenty-something attorney with a little money to burn, but no free time to engage in the sport of shopping, I came up with the idea to create a site for women like me. I dreamt up an online shopping magazine made especially for fashionable, professional women who finally reached a place in their life where they have some disposable income… but suddenly have no time to spend it. It was important to me to create a place that was fun and fashionable, packed with great finds for real women, extremely well-edited, and complete with links to where you can shop for featured items right on the spot—so you don’t have to waste a minute of your lunch hour. After a full year of hard work I’m close to my dream site, but I keep thinking of new ways to improve.

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? Florence, Italy, eating gelato in the courtyard outside of the Galleria degli Uffizi.

Who is your celebrity style mate? Katie Holmes—the new and improved version.

Do you have any hidden talents?  Not really. I keep all of my amazing talents right out in the open where I can keep an eye on them.

Name your favorite:
Cocktail: lychee martini
Color: green
Band/Singer: right now, Mika… but I’m fickle when it comes to music.
Fashion Trend: high waist denim
Book: That’s really tough. I love books. Reading Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus totally changed my perception of the world, but this week I’m re-reading (for the third time) Lauren Weisberger’s Everyone Worth Knowing, which I adore. What can I say, I’m a walking contradiction.
