Holly in Heels

It's Friday--and man oh man, what a week it's been. I hear that lazy Saturday mornin' calling my name right now (mmm, fressshh coffee too). There's nothin' like it! Well, when I turned on my computer today, my friends at Shop It To Me turned me onto a great shoe deal at J.Crew.com! What a treat! You'll be happy with these little sweetums on your feet--silky meets shine and found some color too: Darcy satin-and-patent pumps ...made in Italy, these pumps give you just the right amount of lift with a modest 2 1/2" heel (buyer's tip: order a half size larger than normal). And look closely for that thin pink line that rides all the way around the opening of the pump--Ooo girl, it's all in the details! xoxo, holly in heels

Pretty much year-round, we Southern Californians feel like it's summertime. For the most part, we don't see too much rain, get to visit the beach, and have plenty of spots to have a fruity drink with an umbrella in it! The temptation to wear sandal-y heels exists about 10 months out of the year to be quite honest. So for all of you gals who are not blessed with the west coast rays, I thought I'd shed a little light on the subject--I've spotted 3 pairs of sunny weather shoes today that are sure to get you grabbin' for your Coppertone & Ray-Bans: Steve Madden's CRAZEDD wedges sport the forgotten fabric we call linen in an earthy, natural color that'll pair with anything! Especially with these shoes, you're able to pull off that hippie-chic look, without a whole lot of effort. Great platform + heel height to top it off. I suggest visiting the Heels.com for some fabulous finds in all things shoe. Huge selection, tiny prices...what more could you ask fo...

Spring has sprung--well, almost. Really your spring shoe shopping is what shoulda sprung by now and it's mandatory that you stock up on heels that are full of the following: 1) height: do not be afraid of platforms this season--even if you're a taller gal, these spring trends will make those legs look long & lean! 2) color: bright and vibrants are in, in addition to the neutral earthy tones 3) frill and detail: woven wedges and gladiators take the stage once again As usual, I've got a few top picks to make the browsing a bit easier on you (and to fulfill my shoe obsession). Ooo, I'm so excited to share! Nordstrom shares their spring pick, the 'Redondo' Sandal and I'm glad they did! That yummy berry patent with the double ankle strap covers your love of spring color & detail nude footwear's Fleur Tashas pump also provides an amazing color boost--and ya just can't go wrong with a pretty peep-toe, right? Steve Madden's 'Tuscan' Sa...

I can't take it anymore...Betsey Johnson is just so darned adorable. Her funky, daring styles are always just the right amount of dreamy, with a touch of polish. I spotted a good sale this morning on PIPERLIME.com and had to share it with my fellow gals. Check out Ms. Johnson's Lacy T-strap sandal--major price break for a splendid special occasion shoe. I can pretty much 100% guarantee that you'll get double-takes all over the place with these pretties on your feet, and compliments galore. Happy Friday (weekend shopping here you come!). xoxo, holly in heels

So despite the 80-degree weather in so cal this week, I've got cute black pumps catching my eye everywhere! For a lover of bright colors, it's really an unusual thing! I'm not sure if it's the fact that the girls at work are just getting extra stylish with their choice of heels right about now...or if I'm in that dark twisty mood again (if you watch Grey's Anatomy you know exactly what I'm talking about, thankyouverymuch), but I'm just sayin' that black is definitely back in the online shoe shopping world. And let's face it--black is a year-round necessity. These selections, my friends, are 'not your mother's black high heels' (unless your mother is Rachel Zoe, that is). I hope you're ready for some fun shoe-looks at some fabulous prices! First up, the brand nude footwear shines some light on the subject with their Sunnie Day peep-toe pumps (shown left). Some girls wear ruffles on their skirts...some prefer ruffles on their sl...

Hello again my fellow shoe-lovers! Well, if you're anything like me (and I'm hoping you are), you're having that mad, mid-week craving for a little shoe love up in this place. Believe me, I feel your pain. Lo and behold, I've found just the right sparkle for your step: Coloriffics gorgeous Gala Pump ! I feel like I just channeled Carrie from your favorite Sex and the City scene (basically every scene) and I need to tell you that this shimmery gem belongs in your closet. I mean ASAP. Who can deny that sweet little 'under $60' price anyway? Certainly not Miss Bradshaw...and certainly not me. Enjoy! xoxo, holly in heels

After a comment from a reader and a little thought, I came to the conclusion that Valentine's Day is incomplete without some PINK! Come on, you know you loved getting those little pink heart candies that say UR KIND or BE GOOD on them, from your favorite boy in class. And bubblegum just isn't bubblegum unless it's that pretty pretty pink. But what about shoes, my friends...ask yourself right now, "do I own any sassy pink shoes?" Well, I have to admit that I, myself, do not have this playful color in my closet (gasp!), but that's all about to change today. . . . Just in time for spring (which begins next month, ya know), the great Joan & David brand has graced us with this pink beauty! The Felicita heel is a stylish, 100% suede peep-toe, sure to give your outfit that pop of color you've been needing! Another good pink heel that has a richer color to it is the Fergie 'Safra' Pump (which also comes in a true blue and a black). I can imagine this...
