Island Fever!

Last weekend our fam took a breathtaking trip to Catalina Island via one quick boatride over the cold, blue water. It was amazing--truly like a whole other world over there! What the heck is it about landing on an island that makes us relax so much and feel so far away from it all!? Not sure why that Gilligan's Island crew wanted to escape so badly--I know I could take a good long time on an island with some of my favorite people, just sippin' drinks and soaking up the sun! Well, all of this island-water-vaca talk had me coming back to the mainland, wishing for nautical-themed summer gear. Check out these pretty preppy picks and lemme know if you're ridin' the same wave as I am...

For starters, I'm diggin' these gorgeous gold & woven Charles by Charles David 'Braid' wedges! A great 5" platform wedge with sweet double studded details all over, and ooooo that brown hue goes with literally anything in your summer wardrobe.
Well, ya can't run from the islander law too fast in these super high Wanted 'Outlaw' wedges (but that's ok, 'cause you'll be right on-trend!). What a cute, nude peep-toe sandal with dainty ruching and jute cord detail to boot!
And let me just tell ya that either of these seafaring shoe selections would go 100% perfect with this fun Eighty Six Stripe Chain Tank that I managed to run across on Piperlime.com. Such a great boat day tank, with a preppy chain detail around the seams. Yum! And if you wanna take just one day off of wearin' heels this summer (I don't know why you would, but just in case!), check out these uhhh-may-zing Sperry Topsider boat shoes. So boat-chic & preppy in the grey patent!

Well, hope your little shipwrecked heart pitter-pattered just as much as mine did at the sight of these beauties! Land 'ho!

    Very, very pretty! The first ones are my fave. I'm loving this whole "giant sandal" fad that's going on right now. Yeah, I might break an ankle or two, but totally worth it. Thanks for sharing these great looks :)

    I'm loving the woven detail on the first pair but the nude wedges would go with everything for summer! Fabulous!

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...
