Whiny Wednesday: Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari (Giveaway!)
Happy Whiny Wednesday, chic mamas! Today, I’m super-excited to share with you a Q&A with new mom (and now shoe designer!), Kristin Cavallari. KC now has a major shoe collab Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari and we couldn’t be happier (um, for her and us). At I Heart Heels, we’re obsessed with this brand and now her capsule collection (in fact, just had a personal tour of it yesterday by the CL team and it’s gooooood). The collection includes the Amore studded flat below (it also comes in nude…retail: $89.95) that we’re giving away to one lucky reader – squeal! It’s so perfect for looking chic and running errands a la Kristin in the photo above. Read the Q&A here, then enter the giveaway just below…best of luck! xoxo
I Heart Heels: Obviously as a new mom, flats are your new friend. What’s your fav and why?
Kristin Cavallari: Flats are definitely my new best friend! I love the Amore style from my new collection [because] the embellishments add a little something extra to dress up my everyday outfits.
IHH: What inspired some of your shoe designs, and what made you want to be a part of the Chinese Laundry brand?
KC: I wanted to do a shoe line that I loved and that represented my style at affordable prices. My inspiration comes from everywhere – my travels, runway shows, fashion magazines. I consider my collection to have that fashionable and trendy element, yet it still maintains a classic and timeless look. I think Chinese Laundry was the perfect partner to bring my designs to life. I‘ve always been a fan of the brand and it’s amazing that I now have my own collection within the Chinese Laundry umbrella.
“My shoe style depends on my mood.” — Kristin Cavallari, new mom and designer of Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari
IHH: Describe your shoe style, in a nutshell.
KC: My shoe style depends on my mood. I love getting dressed up with a great pair of sky–high heels, but also love my comfy flats for everyday wear!
IHH: Would you ever wear sneaker wedges that are so popular right now?
KC: I do appreciate the style, but I don’t know if I could pull them off.
IHH: Everyone wants to know how you juggle new projects like this with being a new mom. Do you have help?
KC: I have a very supportive family that helps make it all possible! Juggling family and work has been a learning experience, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world. I don’t get as much sleep as I would like to, but I feel very blessed to have so many new and exciting opportunities in my life.

I absolutely love Kristin! Been a fan of her since Laguna Beach. She seems to be doing really well! I also love her show line, I would love to get a pair of any of her shoes but bills and other stuff come first 🙁
Would love to win those flats! So cute, I've been wanting flats but ones from Target just aren't cutting it. I'm a size 7.
