My dear friend Flo is a hilarious, loyal, big-hearted, bubbly gal from New Zealand who also happens to be a crazy talented singer-songwriter. If you like Joni Mitchell, Jewel, or Taylor Swift, you will LOVE her. She went through a really difficult breakup last year and turned it into this really gorgeous gift of music. I asked her to write a guest piece because with that music she wrote, she is now in the top 40 (of 9,000 people) in a VVVV important competition (think online "American Idol"), and if she wins, she will get to record a 4-song EP with RedOne, perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and get $25,000 hot cash money. There is no voting. All you have to do is watch her videos, which is a win for you, too, because they're amazing. Let them be the soundtrack to this beautiful guest piece on heartbreak.View Article

"Back to School" season gives me anxiety. Even though I don't HAVE to go back to school ever again (although every time I cry about my career, my parents suggest grad school!) - I still get that feeling of dread in my stomach. I usually faced my fears by doing something crazy like perming my hair, spray tanning only my legs, or getting an eyebrow wax (that ripped the skin off along with the hair.) But luckily, my bestie/best mom Barbara King LOVES back to school season, and is establishing a much healthier (and Pinterest-worthy) approach to her daughter starting kindergarten with THE CUTEST study nook...View Article
My bestie Barbara King's latest guest blog on motherhood features the best books to read while pregnant... Let's be honest, I will read all of them NOW (even though I'm nowhere close to being pregnant) because I am an anxious person who wants to be prepared for EVERYTHING well in advance. Thank you for giving me some reading material aside from the pile of Us Weekly's I've been hoarding, Barbara!View Article
Today, Heels in the Hills' resident mommy blogger Barbara King is writing on a topic that I initially thought was a joke... PRESCHOOL GRADUATIONS. Not a joke. Real. Guys, is this a thing everywhere or only in L.A.? Also, I LOVE IT and all I want in this life is to attend one. Blasting "Graduation (Friends Forever)" as I read this magic!View Article
I feel very honored to share this latest guest piece from Heels in the Hills' resident mommy blogger, Barbara King. She's written before about the madness of the Los Angeles school system, and all of the things that cost the same as private school in L.A. Today, she's sharing her very personal and important decision on the school she and her husband ultimately chose for their daughter...View Article
My co-Maid of Honor Katierose wrote the most hilarious recap of our EPIC weekend in Ojai for my bachelorette party... (Because, you know, I didn't put her to work hard enough actually THROWING the party. She had to write an essay about it, too.) Read about the magic of horoscopes, Oprah, our SPA PENTHOUSE and COMPLIMENTARY CABANAS, and a game involving grapefruits and donuts on a string that I still don't understand... I have the best friends in the world and this weekend was a dream come true.View Article
