Metal Heel Court Shoe (Zara, $80)
This shoe is a sneak attack. From the front, it’s a basic suede pump. Then, you get a glimpse at the heel and it’s gold metallic with a pop of lipstick red. Frankly, it’s the perfect day to night shoe.
This week has been an absolute bear, so let’s reach into the reader mail bag and answer some questions. And let’s start with a post about affordable summer bags.

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]
