a little Q&A
05.06.14
By Holly Clinard of Holly in Heels
Helloooo, shoe gals (and guys!)!
I want to start out by saying...PHEW! This spring has really taken off for me, in the best way possible! Not only is my baby girl grow-grow-growing out of her newborn shoes fast (see her via Instagram) but my writing has taken a MAY-JOR upswing, and I'm loving it. My most recent dream come true has come in the form of being one of the new contributing writers to The Orange County Register! Check out my first published article here - and you'll see me in many more print papers that come dashing to your Orange County, CA doorstep. Yipee!! Locale Magazine LA has also dropped this month, featuring my writing and modeling (haha, still funny to me, but true!). The digital issue of this new, cool mag is all over the City of Angels as well as online (my spread page 96!).
So that's been my life these past few months, and why blog posts have been scarce. All #GOODSTUFF! So, to catch you up on a few of my shoe + style thoughts so far this season, thought I'd sprinkle in a little Q&A today. Here goes:
How would you describe your style this summer?
Easy. I think this is the summer of simplicity - loose fitting white graphic tees, tattered denim shorts, nude leather sandals, a solid pair of designer shades, hats when necessary.
What's the inspiration behind your summer closet?
California! Palm trees, cool breeze, throw on and go! I love the effortlessness of California style - how things don't need to be perfect or match much - sorta the way life is sometimes.
Favorite shoe of the season:
The gladiator is baaaack! Rawr! Ok, that's not really what a gladiator sounds like, but that's sorta how I feel when a see a good shoe -- - like this one from Sam Edelman, found at Nordies. With a pair of shorts or a simple dress, this one fits the bill.
Why heels?
Why not? Ok, really, heels are my fave because they're versatile, aaaaand they make anyone's legs look 100% better! Promise!
Ice cream sandwiches or popsicles:
BOTH! Yum.
Happy spring-almost-summer...and much more #goodstuff to come!
xoxo,

Pie-Project
05.05.14
We’re huge fans of Pie-Not in Costa Mesa, the gourmet Australian meat and vegetarian pies and pastries shop that also serves our favorite organic Bun Coffee from Australia. And, although we’re not always up for promoting Kickstarter campaigns (there are just so many), this is a worthy one, especially if you know and love Pie-Not.
They are baking up a plan to expand its savory treats and delicious desserts by offering bake-at-home pies and mini-pie catering. Kickstarter will help Pie-Not reach their goal of raising $50,000 to create the frozen bake-at-home program for pies, supplies for catering the “little guys” mini pies, and to double the size of the cold room in the kitchen of the 1,000-square-foot bakery. They must reach their goal of at least $50,00 by Tuesday, June 10 at 5 p.m. to be funded.
Pictured above, Pie-Not owners Ryan Lopiccolo and Jai Snowdon.
For more information on the Pie-Not Kickstarter campaign and to see how you can help Pie-Not reach their goals, visit here, or call 949.650.PIES, or visit the Aussie bakery located at 270 17th Street, Suite 17, Costa Mesa.
