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.
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. […]
It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.
Inside the reader mail bag there are questions about summer beauty, hiring a personal shopper, navigating a sudden breakouts, and more. Let’s dig in!

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
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'?
