Dress That Loosens As You Eat (!!!)
June 27, 2016 7:28 pm 4 CommentsWrap dresses are my current bliss because you can loosen them as you eat and no one is the wiser. Tony and I were invited to the annual neighborhood picnic in our new hood this weekend and the invite mentioned "a taco truck" and "donuts," which meant I was there to party and didn't need a cinched waistline interrupting my food flow. It's like the chic version of eating pants. My hope is that the plunging neckline distracts from the any of the "eating pants" references. Plus, the ruffled sleeves and grey stripes are super summery and fun, so the dress (and neckline) work for daytime. Remember how much fun it was as a kid when you got to climb on a fire truck at small town parades? Well, I will tell you it is even MORE fun as an adult to humiliate your husband (and any passersby embarrassed for you) by making him photograph you in front of one!View Article
gratitude list
June 24, 2016 5:26 pm Comments Off on gratitude listTony and I finally finished renovating our current home and I am thrilled for the following reasons: 1) I have access to my wine again. 2) We have use of our kitchen sink again. 3) I have access to my wine again. 4) NEW MARBLE COUNTERTOPS. 5) That wine thing. 6) It looks like we live in a modern art museum, and all my hoarding is squirreled away #OutOfSightOutOfMind. 7) That wine thing. I am drinking wine as I write this, in fact. I'm feeling ALL THE FEELINGS. As you know if you read this blog regularly, Tony and I bought a new house that we are absolutely thrilled about... But I have lived in this one for 7 years and love it deeply. I have so many amazing memories here, we have put so much work into it over the years and it feels kind of surreal that we're selling it. Change is hard for me, but I know it is good and we are so excited for this new chapter. And I hope we find someone to love our house as much as we do. I also hope your weekend is filled with as much wine as mine will be. HAPPY FRIDAY! (Apologies in advance for any spelling and/or grammatical errors. My day drinking game is strong this afternoon.)View Article
Why Can’t L.A. Moms Let Their Kids Be Bored?
June 23, 2016 6:17 pm Comments Off on Why Can’t L.A. Moms Let Their Kids Be Bored?Heels in the Hills' resident mommy blogger Barbara King is back with her weekly dose of hilarity on motherhood in Los Angeles, this time tackling WHY L.A. moms just can't seem to let their kids be bored... (And why boredom is so important. An idea I FULLY support. Now excuse me while I go read a pile of trashy gossip mags.)View Article

June 22, 2016 10:16 pm Comments Off on click crackDay 15 of living in our bunker. I've gone feral. Last night, my besties staged an intervention and forced me to shower, put on real clothes and leave the house for dinner. I drank too much wine and cried about how we are like "Sex and the City" with no Miranda. The waiter gave us all free banana bread to take home, and it made me feel pretty. Here we are taking a selfie in the bathroom. Below are some of the things I've been reading in our bunker. WHAT DAY IS IT I CHANGED MY MIND RENOVATING A HOUSE IS WAY HARDER THAN I THOUGHT. Goodnight!View Article
Best Summer Sunscreens
June 21, 2016 4:00 pm 6 CommentsIf you're dying to look like an albino vampire like me, THIS IS YOUR ANSWER! Or, if you want to just be a smart person, lather yourself up in these sunscreens then get a spray tan. (I've tried that and just look like Tan Mom/a lunch shift stripper, and also I'm just lazy, so I stay my natural translucent shade of pale.) There is NO REASON not to wear sunscreen on a daily basis. I am trying to save your life because I am a good person. If that is my one legacy, I'm cool with that - the girl who tried to be a writer/actor, but succeeded in preventing skin cancer for the Heels in the Hills readership of her mom's book club and some super nice strangers who leave super nice messages that serve as verbal antidepressants! Here's what I use, whether it be on the daily, out for a run or at the beach...View Article
Perf Summer Jacket B/C I Hate My Arms
June 20, 2016 10:51 am 2 CommentsYou guys, it's like 107 degrees in L.A. today AND the first day of summer, so what better time to share a jacket on the blog?! But for real, after eating pizza in bed for over a week while we live in our bunker, my arms are not my favorite body part at the moment. Plus, anytime you go anywhere, it's usually frigid from the air conditioning inside, so this jacket is not just a reflection of my insecurity, but also a necessity (or that's what I'm telling myself). The florals make it summer-ish, the black bomber style makes it badass, and one of the kids on "School of Rock" asked me where I got it SO THAT MEANS IT IS COOL. Or turnt or lit, or whatever they say now. I got the dress on sale at my fave, Sunroom in Austin and have had these shoes forever (Maggie chewed on them a little, but you can't see from a distance I don't think, so I wear them anyway.) K HAPPY MONDAY BYE!View Article
