a weekend escape!

You know when life gets a little too busy...a little too intense and full of more responsibility than you ever remember taking on? Well, hopefully you're nodding your head in agreement (either because you're there right now, or remembering some time when you were there) - and I'm not the only easily-overwhelmed gal on the planet. In my book, when things get a little crazy here at home, I like to get outta town. Just head someplace where I don't have to think about all of the chores that need doing, or the bills that need paying, or even the thank-you notes that need writing.

This last weekend, San Francisco was my escape. We met some friends, ate some delish food, drank some bubbly drink, and of course: shop, shop, shopped!

Amongst all of the narrow parking spaces, the brisk and breezy skies and the golden gate bridge were some mighty fine shopping stops - and boy, did we stop! I will say that out of everything, my two favorite boutiques in town had to be Therapy in the Mission neighborhood (formerly my favorite boutique in San Luis Obispo until they downsized); and Ambiance boutique.

And my favorite shopping souvenir, you ask? Has to be my sizzling spring, green satin Seychelles find from Ambiance in the city--A-DORE! These 'Hydrangea' babies were just too amazing to pass up.


All in all, I have to say that the escape from my day-to-day routine was a success...and now, it's back to reality. Good thing I've got some good shoes stepping back into though, eh?!

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...
