A few weeks ago, Feedspot, an online RSS feed reader, compiled a list of the Top 75 Shoe Websites and Blogs on the Web based on their index using search and social metrics. To my surprise and delight, Lizzy’s Latest made this list! My little blog came in at number 51 with plenty of room to grow! 🙂 (more…)
When we shot this photo shoot a few weekends ago, it was meant for a mini blog post. My intent was to have a new segment on the blog that would feature fashion inspiration in between full blog posts. It would be my way to stay connected with all of you in the interim because publishing monthly sometimes feels like too long of an absence, at least to me. However, we took so many great shots that I decided to bump the heel/outfit combo I initially had for February and go with this heel/outfit combo instead. And just FYI…the new segment is still in the works. So, stay tuned! (more…)
At dinner with my parents a month ago, Mom asked if I could print a Kohls coupon for her. I assured her I would, and thought nothing more of it. As we continued talking, Mom started nudging Dad and giggling. I could tell Dad did not want to acknowledge what was unspoken between them. Of course, that piqued my curiosity prompting me to ask: (more…)
The weekend we took these pictures, we had no particular destination in mind. Surrendering to wanderlust, we headed to Richmond, our default destination for adventure. Eventually, we settled on the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden named after one of Richmond’s beloved citizens. (more…)
Back in early December, my dad sent me, my mom, brother, and sister separate emails with the following question:
“Who in our family is the most excited by, desirous of, jazzed over toys?”
Our response was unanimous: MOM!
Yes, even Mom said, “Mom.” 😉 (more…)
Is it just me or are you still scrambling to get “everything” done before Christmas? Time always escapes me this time of year, but even more so this year! With only 4 days left until Christmas, I’ve yet to send out Christmas cards. (more…)
What’s a Thanksgiving celebration without a little family fun? Ever since my brother got married, we have always teased him about not cooking a turkey. Instead he and his wife, Shannon, usually order a turkey dinner from their local grocery store. Perish the thought…especially if you grew up in an Italian household like we did. (more…)
Due to the rain, we remained local for this photo shoot. Dad and I drove to the Thomas Stone House in Port Tobacco, MD. If you’re not familiar with the name, you’re not alone. When I first moved to Southern Maryland, I had no idea who Thomas Stone was either. However, I quickly learned that Thomas Stone was one of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. That is quite an accomplishment for a humble planter and lawyer. (more…)
It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week! I’ve been in a festive mood since the beginning of November. I was at the mall and Hallmark was having a special on Christmas cards. I could not help myself, I purchased two boxes of cards knowing I would probably only need one. (more…)
The Gettysburg National Military Park is one of my favorite Civil War battlefields to explore. It was in this area that the Battle of Gettysburg was fought over a 3-day period in July of 1863. For this photo shoot, we headed to the Pennsylvania State Memorial located at Cemetery Ridge, the primary defensive position of the Union Army. (more…)
