This week, Alicia of Cheetah is the New Black has hit the road with her Rebecca Minkoff handbags on a cross-country trip. Her first stop was the “Windy City” of Chicago, where she rocked a bright orange top and skinnies in her signature cheetah pattern accessorized with the Rebecca Minkoff Gold Ostrich Embossed Minaudiere - the perfect glam clutch to dress up your day-to-night summer looks. We can’t wait to see where Alicia travels next!


It looks like our favorite bloggers are shying away from tailored trousers and heading for a grungier look this Spring with ripped denim. Aimee of Song Of Style, Andy of Style Scrapbook, and Alicia of Cheetah Is The New Black all showcased their torn jeans recently, and we’re really loving it! Are you Minkettes liking the trend?

This Spring is all about little feminine details, and the latest trend we are noticing is the peplum. Whether it is on your shirt or your skirt, the peplum adds an instant ladylike flair to any outfit. We especially love the orange peplum skirt that we spotted on Alicia from Cheetah Is The New Black – she makes this trend look so wearable! Would you Minkettes work the peplum?



We may be busy obsessing over spring collections, but winter isn’t over yet! We are still looking for ways to spice up our winter wardrobes, and we are drawing inspiration from some of the most fashionable bloggers and celebs. Thanks to these stylish ladies, we now know how to stay warm and chic until spring comes! Check out our picks below for the top winter must-haves of 2012.

1. Long gloves, as seen on Denni of Chic Muse

2. Collared shirts and pullover sweaters, the winter staple of Claire of De Lune and Jennie of Going West.

3. Red and pink is this season’s hottest (and most unlikely) color combo, as shown by Krystal of This Time Tomorrow and actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
4. Faux fur is the best way to stay cute and warm – try out a fur vest like Alicia of Cheetah Is The New Black.
