Metallic Heels
Homes & Heels started out as a place for me to obsess about interior design and feature heels that live in my fantasy shoe closet.

Holy snowstorm! I guess it had to happen eventually but all that white has kept me on my green kick (and the major sale going on at Zara didn’t hurt). I usually stick to the classic trouser colors – black, tan, navy, etc. – but this hunter green was so beautiful and is a color … Read more
