Holly in Heels

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and it's time to take a few extra days off work, and heat up the grill for some good ol' fashioned fun and family time. And what in the world will you wear to such a casual 3-day weekend occasion? You can't bear to wear your flip-flops one more time this weekend since you've already hit the beach on most days...so instead you turn to these picture perfect Tory Burch 'Grommet' Wedge Sandals . Party-ready wedges bring the comfy & stylish to any and all summa'time shindigs. Goes perfectly with this Tory Burch 'Perer' skirt or the bargain'-ready Banana Republic gathered skirt (navy is gravy!). Do have a dashing time at that backyard BBQ, with your new studded sidekicks (the Tory Burch's, that is). Happy weekend! xoxo, holly in heels

It's like sweet music to my ears--Sex and the City 2 the movie came out yesterday and I couldn't help but go to bed and wake up thinking about all of the beautiful clothes, shoes and accessories that I had seen in that movie. Sarah Jessica Parker and the rest of her sexy crew are all so darned awesome with their daring New York styles--it was eye candy to the max. Sure, the movie was like a 2-hour commercial for Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates (no spoiler alerts here really, I swear!), but I just had no choice but to show off a few SATC2 fashions today just to get it outta my system. Carrie's signature Christian Louboutin Pigalle Crystal Encrusted Stiletto Pumps ( found here in black patent ) were a scene-1 'wow'. Paired up with this simple and classic white spring dress, these golden pumps sparkle with every step! I've also found an everyday girl price on some knock-offs of these in the ASOS Sara Pointed Glitter Shoe , so you can get the look without ...

Once in a while, it's good to be a little daring. You know it, just admit it! Whether it's walking up to that new cutie in the office at the water-cooler, or ordering a crazy type of sushi instead of your usual boring (but tasty!) California Roll, or wearing that outfit you swore you could never pull off but now have the guts to flaunt...being a bit intrepid every now and again feels good. Builds character I'd say, you know? Well, I've got a few shoes that might challenge your bravery today, and I just dare you to give 'em a try. The amazing Diane von Furstenberg's 'Luna' High Heel Strappy Sandals are soaring to new heights at 5-inches with a 1-inch covered platform! Wowza. A true 'force of fashion this season', these Grecian-inspired lovelies are all leather with a comfy & convenient elasticized slingback. The 'Luna'-loos come in a delightful bright gold... ...and also a classic black leather. Either can easily be paired up with you...

Like most bloggers (and most gals in general these days), I have a few daily web reads. These are the doses of sweet fashionista nectar that keep me writing and searching the fashion world for more cute goods (it never ends!). Well, when one of my fave daily reads, Blush.com's fabulous blog , asked me to write for them, I did exactly what the title of this site insinuates: blush! Here it is... Heels for Every Girl by yours truly. Blush is simply the best, featuring the latest and greatest in skin care, hair care, makeup, even health and fitness . I've even managed to sign myself up for their pretty little e-newsletter too, getting tons of tips on the best of the best for lookin' good in every way. Check 'em out, and enjoy the read! xoxo, holly in heels

It's Friday. Time to celebrate! For some reason today I'm just blaring my music in the car, singing along, glad that the weekend is heeere. To compliment my happy-go-lucky 'tude today, I've decided to show off some heels that'll have you pretty in pink. Kate Spade is tempting me with vibrant colors & sweet little details, and I'm dying to share: photos compliments of katespade.com First of all, how on earth could I resist these richly pink Kate Spade 'muse' heels ?! Killin' me here. This sophisticated satin + suede combo is a perfect low heel that's ideal for those long evenings out, when you somehow managed to wind up dancing your little shoe-loving heart out, and coming home waaaay past your bedtime! Ok, so Kate's 'Grecian' strappy heels are not exactly on-the-money pink, but they're in the pink & pretty category, so I say they qualify. Gorgeous lavender, python- embossed leather twists all around your foot and...

I think it's this great pre-summer weather that we're having right now that has me dreeeaming all about vacations! Or maybe it's the fact that last summer we went to gorgeous Cancun, Mexico and a few months later, spent some weeks in Rome...and I'm missin' my spoiled lifestyle. Ha! Either way, when I saw these Ciao Bella 'Rai' Wedge Sandals online today, it grew my Roman-holiday-daydreams that much bigger (for a mere $65!). The rich, neutral 'Caramel' color makes this heel a perfect addition to your closet, pairing easily with poolside outfits, breezy summer dresses, as well as denim shorts (sooo in this summer!). Check out that super feminine & curvy heel and pretty pretty woven detail that wraps all around--you just cannot go wrong! Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I really am impressed with the Ciao Bella brand on Piperlime ! Anyone else know about these sweet shoes? Some super cute flats too! Merely fuss-free & fashion...

Coming from a heel girl, you're not going to believe that I want to do a special feature on flats, I know. But I was thinkin' about it, and it really is hard to survive long work days & nights in heels--no matter how much cushioning you put in those tall things! I always struggle to find the right all-day flat that isn't dull & boring, but has a little somethin' to it, to keep my outfit fresh and stylish. Well, one of my mucho creative photographer friends, Kate Noelle, came across this same dilemma recently, and I thought I'd share her story. It's pretty plain to see on Kate Noelle's photography blog that she adores love & beauty and has no trouble capturing it in a special way through her lens. But with long wedding-shooting days for Kate, there also comes the need for comfy shoes (behind every successful woman there's a pair of good shoes, right?). And I figured every on-the-go gal could use a little comfy shoe suggestion, without forget...
