I Dare You.

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 your gorgeous red-carpet ready evening dress or that cute jean jumper you've been dying to bust out for the warmer months ahead.
Boutique 9 is a shoe brand that's quickly rising to the top of my favorites list right now. Check out these Boutique 9 'Ramiro' Platform Pumps (another all-leather comfy heel). Standing on a stacked wooden 5" heel you're going to see the world in a whole new stylish way! And check out that sexy zipper that runs curvy across your foot, adding just the right amount of understated detail to one greatly unique pump.
I told you so--here's another Boutique 9 heel that's drivin' me wild! The Boutique 9 'Val' ankle boot measures at 4 1/2" of heel, and 1" of platform, making this a daring (but stylishly attainable!) little bootie. I don't know about you, but these scream Rihanna to me (on one of her not-too-too-crazy days, that is)! They've got that hard attitude to them, but are offset with femininity by the chunky side bow.

Ok, and just to add a splish splash of color to this daredevil'd post, I've uncovered the Calvin Klein 'Remini' Peeptoe Sandals from their hiding place on Macys.com (also found at Zappos, 6pm, Bloomingdale's, and Dillard's in different colors/styles/prices). Triple multi-colored straps, sweet little back zipper, and elegantly covered platform make these over 5-incher sandals a simply gorgeous choice to throw on with the most basic of outfits that need a little kick or color.
So do yourself a favor and walk up to that hunky co-worker and strike up a convo, or order that menu item you've never had, or hey...even purchase a striking shoe that you never thought you'd buy! I dare you.

  1. I LOVE the DVF heels! They're actually pretty comfortable for 5in heels too... I might just have to get them in black as well :)

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
