Spring has sprung

Spring has sprung--well, almost. Really your spring shoe shopping is what shoulda sprung by now and it's mandatory that you stock up on heels that are full of the following:
1) height: do not be afraid of platforms this season--even if you're a taller gal, these spring trends will make those legs look long & lean!
2) color: bright and vibrants are in, in addition to the neutral earthy tones
3) frill and detail: woven wedges and gladiators take the stage once again

As usual, I've got a few top picks to make the browsing a bit easier on you (and to fulfill my shoe obsession). Ooo, I'm so excited to share!

Nordstrom shares their spring pick, the 'Redondo' Sandal and I'm glad they did! That yummy berry patent with the double ankle strap covers your love of spring color & detail
nude footwear's Fleur Tashas pump also provides an amazing color boost--and ya just can't go wrong with a pretty peep-toe, right?
Steve Madden's 'Tuscan' Sandal is at a good price, and makes wearing a traditional gladiator sandal a bit more exciting. Check out all of that gold strappy goodness, cute stud detail and hot wooden textured wedge to finish it off. Whew!
Unleash that wild side with a little animal print--very hip right now. The wraparound pattern on these babies is gorgeous and funky and will turn heads when you walk the mall (or anywhere, really). The more height and texture, the better! Scope it out for yourself: Sam Edelman 'Katrice' Wedge Sandal

Ok, last up...every girl has to dream, right? Well, I certainly am no exception to that rule--I can drool over way-too-expensive shoes whenever I want to! Doesn't mean I'm gonna make the purchase, just browsing! I'm giving you personal permission to do the same. If nothing else, let Giuseppe Zanotti's wild Women's Pump inspire your spring shoe selections for 2010!

Happy spring!

  1. Love the Fleur Tashas pumps - gorgeous! I get nervous about the ankle straps on the others...I feel like they'll make my short legs look shorter?!?

Shoe closet love.

I will be the first to stand up and admit that I have a fabulous husband. Not only is he smart, funny, creative and patient, but he's pretty darned hot too! I still consider us newlyweds (and probably will for quite some time), because we're always doing thoroughly silly stuff for one another--keepin' things fresh, fun and surprising, ya know? Here's one of my fave pics of us, taken a few years ago during our engagement photoshoot. Good times. That being said, I was still simply breath-taken when I came home from a way-too-long day of work and found that my sweet beau had used his furlough day (yes, it's not just a vicious rumor that we have those all over the place in the state of CA) to transform our hall coat closet into none other than a shoe closet . You heard me right... shoe closet = every girl's dream, ya? We don't really use our hall coat closet anyway, living in such a warm southern California city, so I was thrilled to actually put this space to

Long time, no type.

You guys. Has it seriously been a full YEAR since I've typed up a blog post on here? That is both depressing and encouraging. Depressing--because I feel like I have forgotten about my first "child" my Holly in Heels blog. Encouraging--because it means that I have been suuuper busy with other fun and creative projects, like my continued PR and media copywriting, contributions to Coyote + Oak magazine out of San Luis Obispo, as well as Locale Magazine 's newest San Francisco addition. I have to admit that while these other (paying) jobs keep me busy and on my toes, I do stop and think about my former life as a fashion and lifestyle blogger, and how I miss the creative outlet. To be able to write about whatever topic I choose is certainly a gift. Writing is also therapeutic for me--this blog is like a friend. Like the kind you can call up anytime, talk about the deep stuff and then mention this new conditioner you tried...and then switch back to the meaning of lif

Pour la GIVEAWAY!

I'm a sucker for free stuff. Who isn't? Especially when it's SHOES. Anyone with me?...ya, pretty sure ya are. Well, I'm jumpin' for joy as I write this post, because Miss Holly in Heels herself has been asked to partner up with a super-fabulous shoe company called Pour La Victoire . Maybe you've heard of 'em? If you haven't heard of the lovely PLV's then listen up--because this shoe co. is one hot commodity! You can find Pour La Victoire's at top-notch retailers like Piperlime , Nordies , Zappos , Bloomies and Saks , and known for their chic and classic style in high-high-heel makin' and designin'. Pour La Victoire's 'victorious' fashions are not only known as the “next big thing” but have also skyrocketed in popularity among socialites, and celebs. High-fashion fans like Anne Hathaway, Rachel Weisz and Alexa Chung have made public appearances sporting their fave PLV heels, boots and sandals. I'm talking $100+ shoes an
