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

Every gal needs a pair of solid, shout-out-loud, rockstar heels. Am I right? I believe I am. Once in a while, you need to get out of those almost expected everyday heels and head for the extreme, head-turning kicks. I know, I know...it may sound a little scary at first, but once you step into some crazy-cool heels that push the limits, pair them with some hot, hot skinny jeans and a few of the right gems--you're an instant knock out! Jeffrey Campbell is always pushing the limits, with his edgy designs and towering heel heights. I have to say, I'm not always running to the Campbells, but for rockstar heels, he's my man. Check out these super chic, but screamin' rockstar 'Audrey' pumps ! The generous 6" heel with 2" platform (comparable to a 4" heel) balances out the sheer nude patent leather all around the pump. And a cute ankle buckle to finish--woooweee! And what goes well with those rockstar pumps? Rockstar tickets to a killer rock show, o...

I have this thing for yellow. I don't know really when it happened or how it happened...but for years now, yellow just makes me so stinkin' happy. It's so unexpected, so bright and non-obnoxious. It's pretty much my favorite color of shoe & heel, that's for sure. So when I sunk my eyes into these Velveteen Platform Pumps from Forever 21 (uhhhh, who doesn't love F21?!), and then shortly thereafter noticed they were $32, I gasped with girlish glee! So soft and so feminine, and so cute with jeans :) Do you have a color that makes you just jump for joy when putting on an outfit? Any shoe or accessory color that brightens your day? Do tell! xoxo, holly in heels

Sooo, not only do I love shoes (obvi!) but I love accessories. Yep, anything I can get my hands on in order to add a little sumpin' to my style is what I dig. Whether it's some oversized earrings, a big baubly ring, some lovely bangles or a colorful scarf--all do the job of spicing up my life! And when I came across the scarves on this sweet lil' online shop called Fresh Produce, I was giddy-- check it out . Lots of color, texture, and design that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. Loved this beachy starfish scarf , the basic-colored pom scarves (too cute!), and this casual fall-like scarf , too. I, myself, was able to snag their super-pretty tie dye scarf in a bright & pretty coral color (although it was hard to choose from the 4 tie dye'd colors they offer!). It sorta reminds me of something my art school'd mom would've worn when she was in college. I love the braided tassels that adorn each edge of the scarf too--so cute! Here's me, happ...

There's no denying it, Tory Burch has some wicked good style. I know most husbands probably roll their eyes and don't understand the love we shoe-girls might have for Miss Burch, but her shoes are just impeccably classic and give that must-have polish to any outfit. Now, I'll admit that I don't have a ton of Tory Burch kicks in my shoe closet, but I do have some of her famous 'Reva' flats , and I have to say they were well-worth the dough! But check out Tory's wedges--they're enough to get me straight to the mall on this lovely Sunday sabbath: The 'Linley' high espadrille - with it's woven bliss and pretty tied-up finish: No denying the 'Sherri' wedge is the perfect blend of casual + bold: And lastly, the 'Breacher' wedge has that tribal flair that is so now - perfect for a hot summer day of shopping and city-gazing: So what's YOUR Sunday style? Is it Tory or Steve or Sam? xoxo, holly in heels
