Blue is my favorite color; so imagine my delight when I came across this lovely pair from White House Black Market. The vivid blue caught my eye and the tassel ties add a flirty touch making these sandals the perfect accessory for summertime fun. (more…)
One of the earliest lessons my father taught me was to always honor your commitments. Integrity is one of my dad’s greatest virtues and it guides him in all aspects of his life. With my dad, if he’s committed to doing something, he ALWAYS follows through. He is simply a man of his word. (more…)
Last year I ended up with a surplus of blog pics that were never published. The Alfani Casedy ankle-strap pumps were one of those heels. What can I say? Too many heels, not enough posts. 😉 (more…)
The Nine West Everafter pumps are so chic! The first thing that caught my eye was the fringe detail at the ankle. Yes, two years later, my love affair with fringe continues. 😉 Fringe is definitely still trending in 2017 and when paired with approximately 4-inch stiletto heels, adds a sexy and playful vibe, in my opinion. 🙂 (more…)
One of the joys I’ve experienced as a Godmother is helping my Godson, Andrew, strengthen his faith. I enjoy taking him to Mass every chance I get and sharing my Catholic faith with him. (more…)
Welcome to another segment of Shoespiration! 🙂 These heels were featured on the blog in the Fall of 2015. They are an imitation of the Rockstud pumps made famous by Italian fashion designer, Valentino. The gold studs are so edgy and I always feel so sexy when I wear these heels…which is often! 😉 I do have one disappointment with these pumps and that is a couple of the studs have popped out from time to time over the years. Fortunately, the few times this has happened, I was aware. So, I am constantly checking to make sure all my studs are accounted for when I do wear these heels. (more…)
The Battle of the Crater fascinates me because it was filled with political intrigue, courage, and sorrow. It was a battle that culminated in a spectacular explosion resulting in death, destruction, and deep regret. Union General Ulysses S. Grant lamented that it was “the saddest affair I have witnessed in the war.” When you consider all the atrocities Grant witnessed, that’s quite a statement. (more…)
There have been times over the last year when a lack of photo shoot planning led to a reliance on spontaneity. This was one of those weekends. Call it procrastination or laziness, perhaps a little of both, but I had no particular destination in mind other than it had to be local. Dad suggested DC, but I was lukewarm to the idea. The thought of taking pics in a crowd didn’t appeal to me and I was also thinking about my dad’s aversion to jam-packed places. The last thing I wanted was an aggravated photographer. 😉 However, with no other option, DC became the default location. (more…)
Have you ever had the experience of being behind someone in line whose credit card was declined? You patiently wait as the person insists there must be some mistake! Ultimately, the person either buys less with cash or leaves empty handed. Either outcome makes for a very awkward situation. (more…)
Now that my shoe blog is monthly, the time in between posts sometimes feels like too long of an absence from all of you, at least to me. As such, I’ve launched a new segment on my blog called, “Shoespiration.” 🙂 Its intent is to fill the fashion void that lingers between my main blog posts. It’s a mini blog post; a sort of fashion fix if you will to get us through the month. 😉 (more…)
