Holly in Heels

So, not only am I a strong lover of heels, but I'm a huge advocate for TOMS shoes --they are adorable, uber comfy and of course the cause behind them is fabulous--check out more info on their One for One movement here . All of this to say that I'm finding myself criiiiiinging at the thought of this newfound moccasin-like shoe from Sketchers! Check more details out here . It's a total rip-off of what TOMS does so well...and there's no shame in their shoe name, calling them 'BOBS'. Ha! So shoe-lovers, do tell me what you think about this new shoe! And if you think flats just ain't the thang for you, just you wait til you get your little toes into some TOMS. They're pretty stinkin' awesome. xoxo, holly in heels

It's Friday! WHO'S HAPPY?!!! I am, I am! It's actually been a spectacular week at work--and I've had plenty of good, relaxing evenings at home...so I ain't complainin', but a few days of sleeping in and lounging around sounds pretty darned good to me, not gunna lie. I'm also super-duperliciously delighted to be announcing the winner of the Susan & Veronica Apron giveaway (winner selected using random.org )! And the lucky lady is (eh-chem...drum roll please): whitneyanddaniel! I'll be emailing ya with details on how we'll send your prize, but congrats, girly! I seriously loved this giveaway--it combined two of my most favorite things: food + fashion. Heck, and if you're not the winner this time, I still would strongly encourage you to show your support for Susan & Veronica and the Young Survival Coalition , by purchasing one of their absolutely adorable Pink Ribbon Aprons (they'll even throw in FREE SHIPPING for ya!). Proceeds of ...

Soooo, I've been getting a few comments here & there about my 'unseen identity' on this blog, it's so funny! I swear I haven't been hiding--the honest to goodness truth is that I have yet to invest my hard-earned blogger dollars into a good camera, and I'm crossing my little quick-typin' fingers that Santa will stash one in my stocking come Christmastime. Until then, I will tell you that I recently had a photoshoot with my fabulous friend Annie of TripleCord Photography , and she snapped a few headshots as well as shoe-shots of me...and oh yes, even some Holly in Heels outfit shots! Do ya like my backyard firepit?! :) Denim jacket: American Eagle Top: Lush Bow Camisole , Nordstrom Jeans: Gap boyfriend jeans (my faves!) Shoes: Old Navy yellow peep toe heels (got them a bit ago, they were my wedding shoozies!) Couple'a more shots of my happy yellow peeps... So that's that! I thought I'd give you a sneak peek at just a few...and of course t...

Soooo, there are a few online spots I visit regularly--of course the ones that sell assortments of cute cute heels, where I can dream and browse the most in-style kicks on the planet. Other than that, I must say that I enjoy scopin' out the scene of the many online boutiques that are out there. One of them that I've been mucho adoring lately is blonde birdie --this super-stylish gal has got tons o' goods in her saucy online store! I figured since I've been browsing this place so much, I'd show off some of my favorite items for ya on this fine Monday. A girl can't live on heels alone, can she? Women's accessories , handbags , jewelry and scarves line the online shelves at blonde birdie boutique. Ahhh, the assortment is quite something! My latest obsessions right now consist of the 'Walk the Line' white ring , as well as the 'Chiffon Sisters' earrings . Check these gorgeous goods out: I also am diggin' this Milly woven clutch i...

So, it ain't fair, I know, but livin' in sweet & sunny Southern California allows us west coast gals to bask in the warm sun for 90% of the year--and even keep our sandals close by to throw on and head to the beach or the mall! We are spoiled, I know, but I really have grown accustomed to the fact that 85 degrees is HOT and 65 degrees is chilly ! Well, not only does this allow for lots of happy hours on the patio or even year-round bbq'ing in our backyard...it allows me to snag some stinkin' sweet deals on sandals when they're goin' on clearance, without having to wait til next spring to sport 'em! Specifically, I'm currently boasting about my recent Piperlime purchase of the long-time coveted Emma Pink 'Laria' wedges: Months and months ago, I blogged about these pink beauties (way back when they were $98!), but patience is indeed a virtue in this case, 'cause they just got marked down tremendously to $29.97! My lovely 'Laria...

Today marks the day of a brand new job for me! That's right, I'm movin' desks and findin' myself in the big bad world of marketing. I'm super excited to take this next step in my career--even purchased a cute, new mod lamp to make my bare, baby desk feel a tad bit more like home. After a generous cup o' joe to send me on my merry way, I'll no doubt be throwin' on my work-ready kicks--perfect to pair with pencil skirts and dress slacks. I figured to mark this fun, special day in my oh-so grown up life (when did that happen?!), I'd do a little post dedicated to just a few of my favorite work shoes... Maybe as basic as they come, Steve Madden's 'Ulltra' pumps are a go-to in my Monday thru Friday closet. Perfectly patent and wonderfully nude, they truly pair with anything and everything. Someday, I might even consider investing in the black patent pump--which is a sure classic for the wintertime. This is a great, round-toe pump that al...

I love to bake. I know, I know...usually us fashionistas spend too much time at the mall and not enough time in the kitchen--but it's no secret that I make a killer banana nut bread and can throw together some yummy-yum choco chunk & peanut butter cookies in a heartbeat! It's sorta a rule in our household now--my hubs cooks (better at improvising) & I bake (best at following directions). Ya think it says somethin' about us?! Well, all Freudian predictions aside, I always like to have something sassy to wear as I'm throwing the flour and brown sugar around the kitchen, and coming up with a sweet creation--don't you? That's why I was utterly IN LOVE when I came across Fashionista Aprons from Susan and Veronica . And wanna know somethin' great?!-- we're givin' an apron away ! I recently interviewed these lovely leading ladies to ask them a bit more about their cute, cute business and the special cause behind it. 1) Tell us about "Susan and...
