2020 started with all the promise and hope of a new decade. For me personally, it was supposed to be a year filled with travel and adventure. My husband and I kicked off the year with an unforgettable long weekend in Barcelona, and we were mapping out trips to visit family around the country, professional development conferences and at least one more jaunt to Europe. All of this…
In my opinion, I feel the majority of garments made are to fit the average figure. Yes, I hear you, that makes sense, make things for the majority. However, for those of us who are not the average size, finding clothing that fits us correctly can be a challenge. I will be the first to admit that finding clothes for my 5’11 frame is exceptionally challenging. And I…
Last year I came across the clothing brand Mango, and my obsession has taken over! While in London, my husband and I stopped into one of their stores to see their new fall line, and thank goodness my suitcase was already full because I would have purchased the entire store. Over the last few months, I have found more and more wardrobe staples that are a must in…
My Grandmother would always say to me, “Your smile is contagious!” I always knew since then; my best asset was my smile. When I was younger, during a family photo shoot, I noticed my teeth weren’t as sparkly white as I would like, which I felt needed to be corrected – ASAP! For Christmas, my parents gave me teeth whitening from our dentist office as a gift. YAY!…
I’m sure like many of you; we’ve had our fair share of trial and error with brands and products. With the abundance of new products and brands hitting the market on the regular, it sometimes can be challenging to stay true to one brand – and why should we? I love mixing products that fit my needs, and I have rounded up a few of my favorite must-haves.…
The holidays are upon us, and as cooler temperatures arrive, we start dreaming about sunny beaches and icy drinks with tiny umbrellas. More specific, the resort vacation! Am I right? Planning the perfect vacation is essential; although, having a fabulous wardrobe while on vacation is just as important. Once your vacation is planned, it’s time to execute the refresh of your resort wear and make sure it is…
I am very excited to share today’s online boutique spotlight based out of Arlington, TX – The Front Porch Boutique. I learned about FPB from a mutual acquaintance who told me to check them out. I took her advice, did a little shopping on their adorable site and after learning more about their story…I knew it was a no-brainer to spotlight them here on Empowering In Heels. Owner…
(click on any image in the guide to shop) By far one of my favorite gift guides thus far. Why you ask? Well, I know for me, I love nothing more than coming home from a long day at work, slipping into comfortable pajamas and retreating to my bedroom. It is the best feeling ever! If I feel this way, I am sure you do as well. I…
I love this time of year! I am one of those people who decorate for Christmas right after Halloween. I spent the weekend searching for excellent holiday decor and wanted to do a roundup of a few of my key favorites. Hover over any item in the above image to shop and below are others on my radar: If you are on the hunt for an artificial…
I get it, sweaters for fall? Groundbreaking! Ha! Many of us are dealing with a bit of a fall heat wave at the moment, and I am breaking a sweat just writing about sweaters. All jokes aside, no matter what, we all know sweaters are essential for the colder months and it can be hard to find some trusty must-haves. I have found a couple of amazing sweaters…

These strappy heels are a dream and I can actually walk in them all day. You can never go wrong with a high-end, quality handbag – I love my Burberry bag. Here are the details on my bracelet and earrings. Makeup is by…
It’s almost that time of year where we say bye-bye to the summer heat and welcome cooler fall temperatures. Obviously, we are in that in-between weather pattern where it isn’t quite time for an oversized jacket, nor is it warm enough to wear a tank top. Let me introduce you to layering! Layering takes some time to master as you’re arranging a variety of different styles, colors, shapes,…
My new arrivals arrived from Vici over the weekend and I am obsessed with every piece. I did a try on and snapped a few photos for you to learn more about each item. I should have all the images up by next Sunday. In the meantime, watch my videos below for details on each item I purchased. New arrivals sell out quickly. If you like what you see,…
As many of you know, I work in the meetings and events industry, which makes attending events somewhat of a norm. From fundraisers, galas, award ceremonies, networking events, conferences, tradeshows, business dinners, themed events, VIP events…I think you get the idea. Since I attend so many events throughout the year, I’m always making sure I present myself (and my company) well, and of course, in style. When you…
Is it fall yet? Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE summer, but the humidity in Philadelphia has been excruciating this summer. I know, we’re only a couple of days into August and I’m officially counting down the days until fall is upon us. Anyone else with me? Like the seasons, fashion trends are always changing, and it sometimes can be challenging to keep up. But let’s be real,…
