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.
My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
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'?
