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 what they had to say...

Tell us a bit about KM2 shoes and how you got started.
We grew up with our dad in the shoe business and loved shoes because we were always the sample size! We always got dressed with our shoes first. I think having a shoe company was always in the back of our head--and a great dream--but you never think that you actually can do something like that, especially at our age. I remember sitting in on one of Kate's marketing classes at UCLA (I was playing hookie on mine). The professor got everyone's background (ours was shoes) and had us for a homework assignment create a shoe for this girl who couldn't find her perfect heel. The idea was that a business isn't as hard as you think, and if you can give someone exactly what they want (and you love what you do), then you should be in business! The next day after literally buying rubber at Home Depot and leather from vintage jackets, we were learning how to make shoes from scratch and create a concept we loved. We got the help of a cobbler, prayed a lot, had a few super glue accidents--and from there KM2 was born.

KM2 shoes came about because we wanted to give every woman exactly what she wanted in a fabulous pair of shoes. That's also where the customizing came in--we create styles from our classic constructions, and clients are able to tweak them if they so desire or keep them as we designed.

WHERE or WHO do you draw fashion inspiration from?
Inspiration comes a lot from looking at runways and converting them into my own world. Right now I think Prada, Balmain, Dsquared, Alexander Wang...I'm loving what they are putting out as far as footwear goes. We get inspired by characters too. We design around characters we love and put ourselves in their life situations and think,
"If I were her what would I be wearing here?"

Having our own design studio changes everything too. I dream an amazing shoe idea and wake up and work with it until I get it right. Sometimes if you sketch something, it looks great on paper but doesn't translate. We have the ability to get it right every time and be hands on.


If you could give us ONE fashion tip, what would it be?
Start with shoes first! Everything else will fall into place. My dad taught us that if you have amazing shoes and accessories, you can pull off anything.

What is your fashion philosophy?
Ohhh I think I just put my answer in the last question. Don't ever be afraid. If you love it, rock it!

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
