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, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here. (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]
For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
Very sassy! If only Zara made shoes in my size.
Maybe I work in a stuffy office, but I didn't know a metal heel was day wear… how would you style a shoe like this to not be too much at a 10:00 meeting?
@Erin – If your pants are long enough, only the metal part of the heel will show. I think if the rest of your outfit is classic enough, you can pull metal heels off -maybe not in the most but certainly in more conservative offices. I would try a classic dark navy or black, slim cut pant suit with a silk collared shirt in a neutral color (champagne, graphite), a delicate necklace, gold studs for a 10am meeting around where I work.
@Belle – Do you prep Zara heels with insoles or gel cushions or are they comfortable for you 'as is'?
