Just for KiiX
Just for KiiX
I don't know about y'all, but we love being on TV! We're fans of feeling like celebrities, and that is exactly how we feel every time we are featured on TV, in an article, on a blog, etc... Last night we were lucky enough to be featured on Laura's Likes, a segment on Fox News in Washington DC.
I've been on the search for the perfect spring heel. For me that means a heel that isn't so high I can't walk, but has enough height to at least make me look cool. It has to have a sturdy heel, and be pretty...obviously.
I am one of those people that believes you do not have to follow the rules all of the time. I mean, some rules are just meant to be broken, especially if they are rules that dictate when you can and cannot wear a certain color.
Around here we are big fans of shoes that make a statement. Do you remember Heather's heels from the Wine, Women & Shoes event? If you were there you probably didn't miss them! Shoes (especially high heels) don't have to be boring.
I am so excited that I get to go on a spring kick now that it is finally warm. I guess it is safe to say I've been obsessing over spring shoes. It is also safe to say that I obsess over nail polish, and I am so excited about the trends this spring.
It might not feel like it yet, but according to our calendar, it is finally spring! We have had some hints of it here and there - blooming trees and the occasional 65 degree day. Then we get a snow forecast and it seems like all hope is lost.
Can you believe it is already April?! Time flies when you're freezing your butt off... at least I think that's how it goes. It was so cold up until the end of March I almost forgot that spring was here! In honor of warmer weather I've put together a slideshow of espadrilles.
In the 8th grade I made a very important promise to myself. It was on our class field trip to Charleston, SC, where we trekked through a swamp, took an excruciatingly long river cruise, and toured a battleship in the pouring down rain.
I have a confession to make...I love Goop. You know, Gwyneth Paltrow's blog where she tells you to buy your friends $165 candles. Most things she posts I will probably never be able to afford, but unlike a lot of people I don't hate her for producing a site full of beautiful clothes, luxury skincare products, amazing recipes, and cool articles.
Let me start off by saying this was supposed to be posted yesterday. But sometimes technology gets in the way of my plans and forces me to postpone the announcement of some magnificent news until the day after it actually ... Continue reading →
Thanks to this bi polar vortex it is freezing outside and my feet haven't seen anything but fuzzy socks and UGG boots for days. On the rare occasions that I have to dress up, I stick to leather boots.
Love it or hate it, Valentine's day is right around the corner. Whether you are sitting in your apartment drinking wine with your friends, going out and drinking wine with your friends, or lucky enough to have a date, you should look hot. I've picked out some Valentine's day shoes that say "make out with me."
1 - These Michael Kors booties are perfect for the cold after Christmas. Just because the Holiday are nearing an end doesn't mean you have to stop partying...or looking fabulous. 2 - Look at the color of these Charlotte Olympia heels and I shouldn't have to say another word.
Thanksgiving has come and gone and as always I really enjoyed the time with my family. It is hard to believe it is already December, and I can hardly contain my excitement that CHRISTMAS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. I truly believe Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.
Three years ago I learned a very valuable lesson. NEVER let your friends borrow your things, unless you are absolutely sure they are not going to ruin them. This was a painful DIY for me.
One of my favorite stand-up comedians has a joke that goes something like this, "I like to do crafts. I work with glitter quite a bit... The thing about glitter is, if you get it on you, be prepared to have it on you forever..."
Unfortunately KiiX have not been around forever. And that is really sad for a lot of pairs of heels that we thought would never be worn again. Not that we would complain about shoe shopping, but here at KiiX we love shopping for new shoes because we want to, not because a pair we loved were ruined.
This past Friday we attended the Women's Club of Raleigh's 33rd Annual Stepping Up in Style Fashion Show, Luncheon & Silent Auction, which benefited Dress for Success Triangle NC. Our UK distributor was here from London and we were so excited she got to join us!
This past weekend was a blast! We spent Thursday through Sunday at the 29th annual A Shopping Spree hosted by the Junior League of Raleigh. We sold KiiX, met some awesome people, and got some great feedback! Everyone loved the idea of using KiiX as a stocking stuffer or gift for the heel-loving ladies they knew, and we can't say we blame them!
1. Jimmy Choo 'Fedora' Sandal // 2. Dolce Vita 'Kadyn' Pump // 3. Valentino 'Rockstud Cavallino' Pointy Toe Pump // 4. Charlotte Olympia 'Jennifer Comic' Pump (Nordstrom Exclusive!) // 5. MICHAEL Michael Kors 'York' Bootie 1. I am in love with all of the oxblood and garnet colors we are seeing for fall, and this Jimmy Choo sandal is no exception.
There is nothing better than walking into a room filled with great shoes, especially when you love shopping, and you have a shoe addiction (I can't be the only one! Right?).
Are you a woman who has always loved shoes? Do you buy shoes you love then buy the outfit to go with them? If you answered yes, then this fall shoe season is for you. We like to think of this fashion season as the one where the shoe designers went wild.

Yeah, yeah, February is the month of love or whatever. Aren't my little pink hearts enough? This post will not be filled with products I just can't wait to buy and try out on Valentine's day because....
I have always loved Benefit Cosmetics: the beautiful colors, the pretty packaging, the awesome brow bar, and my girl Tia who kicks butt at waxing brows. The Benefit counter at the Belk in my local mall was having an event. You know, the kind where they do your makeup, you spend a bunch of money, and...
It wasn't hard to narrow down my favorite beauty looks from Sunday night's Golden Globes, because honestly, a lot of them sucked. I mean, I love JLawr as much as the next girl but her wtf was that berry colored lip gloss and white frosted eyeshadow?
White eyeliner is everything, and I am so excited about this spring trend!
I'm going to go ahead and say it because I know we all are thinking it. I'm trying to find some sexy bearded dude to make out with when the ball drops this NYE. Better do something about my grossly enlarged pores now, right? Good thing I have 3 days.
Until about 3 hours ago I was dead set on staying in for New Years Eve. I was going to have a relaxing night catching up on missed TV shows and drinking $7 peach champagne on my couch with my dog. Then I realized I am 22, and then the spirit of Taylor Swift flew...
