Hi, I’m Courtney Connor, founder of HEELS + TREES!

I bet you are wondering where that name came from! Well, here is a brief description of who I am and where I come from:

I grew up in Montana. I thrive in nature and so appreciate the calm that the country has to offer. However, I have spent most of my adult years in cities, Seattle being where I have spent most of my time. I love to wear heels, high heels, the higher the better! I am truly split between the buzz of the city and calm of the country; thus, the name Heels + Trees was born. I’ve always been passionate about fashion design, interiors, textures, pattern, art, architecture, color, and form. I find so much meaning and beauty in all of it. My style is continually evolving, and I know that it will continue to evolve and reinvent itself for all of time.

My philosophy is that it is important for a woman to be strong in her own voice and embrace who she is, and I carry this belief to all my clients. The best part of my workday is seeing a woman go from not wanting to look at her own reflection to not being able to stop because she looks and feels so beautiful! How you feel influences how you look, and how you look reflects how you feel. This connection between mind, body, and soul is one of the first things I address with my clients, as it serves as a guide to where we want to go with their looks. People come to me for an exterior recreation, and they leave with an internal renewal.

When I meet someone, I can immediately visualize certain looks for them and what would work best for their body. I love for my clients to tell me how they want to feel in their clothes, so we can combine our ideas to create a stunning and gratifying finished product. I get to know what their life looks like, so I can help them dress for their environment as well as their desires. I learn what they’re passionate about, so we can carry that passion over to how they express themselves with their appearance. I want my clients to celebrate their true selves with their style.

Celebrating one’s true self is also my approach to home styling. One’s surroundings should bring joy and peace while evoking a sense of symmetry. This doesn’t and shouldn’t require a complete renovation; mixing old and new is my specialty. Combining different textures and mediums offers freedom and function, and it only takes a few key pieces to really bring a room a new energy and balance. A room should tell a story you love to hear.

My approach to helping people is wholistic and transformative! My clients do not leave the same people as when they came in. I would love to help the world see your spirit and soul through your style and surroundings.
