Yay or Nay?: Ultra Platform Wedges

Happy Friday, my heel hunters! It's almost the weekend...mmmm, I can just taste it!

Well, on this sunny Fridizzy, I had to share somethin' with ya and get your true blue take on the matter: The other day my little shoe-scouring eyes came across an intriguing shoe review by the ever-loved Rachel Zoe, featuring Italian designer Bottega Veneta. BV boasts mounds of unforgettable spring/summer 2010 sandals & wedges, but what stuck out to me most were these uuuultra platformed-out wedge, Bottega Veneta 'Paille' Raffia Wedges. Wow, that's a whole lotta sole for one little shoe! I will reinforce to you all that platform wedges are the "it" shoe this summer, but whatcha think--is this takin' it to the extreme?? Let me know your thoughts, readers!

    Mmmm, I definitely couldn't pull them off. Not loving it but I've certainly been wrong before!

    I know, ladies! That was my same thought--but I also thought 'how could the amazing Rachel Zoe adore these?'. I'm just glad I'm not the only one who's not sold!

    YES to platform wedges... NO to these particular ones. ;)

    NOT CUTE. Isn't the whole point of heels and wedges to elongate the leg? And doesn't that effect occur when your heel is propped up and your toe pointed and pretty? Walking around all day with flat feet on a huge platform does not create the same effect. No Frankenstein foot for me, thanks.

    I feel that would make even my size 6 foot look huge! I have been trying to convince my hubby for years that wedges are cute! And they don't make feet look big... This defeats my efforts. Definitely nay on this style in general!

Lazy days

It's the end of the week, I'm slowly unpacking from my week-long vacation to my hometown and family, and utterly enjoying my last few days off. Not only have I managed to eat 3 large meals a day everyday this last week, but I also have developed a terrible addiction to words with friends on my iPhone. Help me! Ahhh, but it's days like this that I just wanna curl up with a good book + some of my favorite high heels for fashion inspiration... xoxo, holly in heels

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 ...

One hot heel giveaway!

Well readers...it's your lucky stinkin' summer because I have yet another giveaway! This time we're givin' away HIGH HEELS! Yep, it's maybe my most favorite-est thing in the whole wide world, and KM2 shoes is making our high-heel dreams come true. I have to say these heels are fab-yoo-lus (especially since I recently welcomed KM2's gorgeous 'Kristin' heels into my own high heel collection!) . They are true to size, extremely comfy, and have that unique design that's truly eye-catching! You can purchase KM2 shoes online or in stores near you . I love the story of this company too -- three sisters founded KM2, Megan, Katelyn and Mattison Gelber, after growing up with two very fashion-forward parents. Their mid-western roots and life experiences in New York & Los Angeles have caused these ladies to develop a unique style, rooted in nostalgia, with an edgy flare! I asked them a few questions about to help us all get to know them better and loved...
