There’s only one thing better than great shoes.

And that’s great shoes with cocktails.

Of course, this principle has been at work for years at Star Shoes, Hollywood’s ever popular cocktail lounge-cum-shoe store (owned by the folks behind Beauty Bar and Tokio). But now the combination is about to get a lot more exciting: Hollywould, the New York-based line of playful, sexy footwear and handbags, is opening its first shop in L.A. — inside Star Shoes. Featuring an array of glamorous heels and sharp-looking flats, the collection fits in so well with the old-Hollywood surroundings and killer drinks you’ll wonder why they didn’t think to join forces sooner.

We’d call it a winning pair.

Hollywould at Star Shoes, 6364 Hollywood Boulevard, between Ivar Avenue and Cahuenga Boulevard (323-632-7888). To see styles, go to ilovehollywould.com.
