Holly in Heels

...I can tell you what I would do! Throw it down on these navy + white striped Penelope Espadrille Wedges from Target (pronounced tar-jjjjjay in this case)! These slip-on wedges are the perfect first shoe for your spring wardrobe - an ease into the new season of colors, patterns and styles. Yours truly, in fact, has them in multiple colors, but the stripes are next on my list! With a 3" heel and a cushioned insole, these darling espadrilles will have you hopping around town in comfort and in style. And 30 bucks means you just can't go wrong! Go go go, I'll meet you at Target! xoxo, holly in heels

It's official. I miss heels. I may get to wear spandex a whole lot, and tighter dresses than I've worn since my college days...and I do get the occasional "you're the cutest pregnant girl!" comment (which I do appreciate), but nothing compares to wearing heels. I miss standing in front of my shoe closet, looking for the perfect pair to my outfit. I miss the long look my legs used to have in a good pair of heels or wedges - the way it would finish an outfit and make me feel like a million bucks! Only a few more months of this...but in the meantime, excuse me while I drool over these 'Abby' wedge espadrilles with the clear heel, by French Connection . Love me some turquoise! So all you NON-preggo girls out there, do me a favor. Wear some heels in honor of yours truly. I'll be joining you in about 6 weeks (along with a margarita)! xoxo, holly in heels

Lately, I've been drawing some fashion inspiration from the all-time classic, J.Crew. Gazing at their catalog, studying the mannequins in their storefront, and reminding myself of the cute, cute selection of knits & tees that can be mixed with color and texture--I'm getting new ideas all the time and lovin' it. J.Crew always has a fantastically chic selection of shoes --most of the time, they're a little beyond my budget, but lucky for you, I spotted a sale ! Of course we all know that espadrilles are soooo all the rage this summer, with a pop of color or pattern they are bound to complete any outfit. These 3 wedge espadrilles are toppin' my list of must-haves, no doubt: Slip these staple summer shoes on with sassy cut-offs, a hot little dress, or your favorite dressy lace shorts, like so...LOVE. So happy summer, fashionistas! What are YOU inspired by? xoxo, holly in heels

Hello lovely ladies! How do you do on this fine, sunny (and windy in my neck o' the woods!) Saturday! It's a good spring-ish day for blogging and curlin' up by my sunny little window to chat shoe . After another wild week in this shoe blogger's life, I figured it was high time to narrow things down for ya a bit and tell you the good news of the Spring 2011 trends! So here's my take on a "back to basics" post on Spring's top 3 shoe trends. Drool away at these gorgeous styles (and then hit add to cart )... Numero uno: SAY YES TO ESPADRILLES. Kick back and bring the beach look to your street with espadrilles. They are stylish, comfy, and have daytime to-do written allllll over them! Check out these gorgeous Madison Harding 'Casey' espadrilles... Number two (back to English now): WEDGE IT UP. Add some spring to your step this season with a chunky wedge. It'll make your legs look extra long, and extra tiny--and will probably add that oomph ...

Happppppy stinkin' Monday, friends! Ahh, it was so, so sad to say goodbye to the weekend, I must say. But I'm glad it's another sunny day here in wonderland, and I'm up to more shoe-hunting! This time around, I'm obsessing over Tory Burch. No matter how many times I try and deny it, Tory Burch is truly amazing. Any Burch-y shoes are sure to be stylishly classic + preppy pretty all in one. Sure, sure--the price is usually a tad scary at first, but when you wear your Tory's a ga-jillion times over, perfectly paired with any outfit, you're happy you saved your pennies. And if anything, SHOES are worth it, right ladies? So here are a few eye-candy kicks from Tory Burch that I'm simply gawking over: The 'Drea' wedge --a sky high 4 1/2" wedge with a 1" platform, wooden all the way, and wonderful through & through! Beautiful leather color in natural tan, begging to make those legs look a million miles long! A very typical Tory pattern, the...

From sky-high to almost-flats, espadrilles are all the rage this spring! What a lovely trend for the warmer months ahead! And don't ya go on thinkin' that espadrilles are simply ropey sandals that come in just one style...oh no no, this season espadrilles come in the form of pumps, wedges, peep toes, even tennis shoe style. Whatcha think of this one, ladies? Yep, Sam Edelman 'Novato' slingback pump is juuuuust right, if ya ask me!
