Lizzy’s Latest – Marc Fisher Braelin Ankle Strap Sandals

 

WED 0 IMG_9708 Final 5

I initially went with red heels to match the denim dress I wore in this photo shoot.  Coordinating red heels with blue attire is a common tendency of mine.  I like having that pop of red.  🙂  Then, I opened my first delivery of Spring/Summer shoes a few weekends ago and set my eyes on the Marc Fisher Braelin sandals.  The pink is even prettier in person!  I could imagine wearing these sandals on a date.  🙂  They are so feminine.  The braided details are eye-catching and add a nice texture to this shoe.

George Washington Birthplace National Monument – Three Strikes You’re Out

1 20160416_153520 Final 3

The weather was spectacular this weekend.  It was the perfect weekend for taking blog pictures and indulging in a history adventure with my dad.  We decided to check out the George Washington Birthplace National Monument.  Perched on the banks of the Potomac River and Pope’s Creek, the locale was perfect for a photo shoot.

For this heel/outfit combo, I can’t remember what came first:  the heels or the dress.  Whatever the sequence, I remember my satisfaction when I wore the look to a summer concert, of the boy-band variety, of course.  😉  This time around, it was summer fun at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.     (more…)

Balboa Park – California Dreamin’

I am excited to share the blog pics for this week because they were taken in San Diego, CA!  My BFF, Tammy, volunteered to be my photographer.  We had discussed locations for the shoot and initially we had planned to take shots in the desert, but we got sidetracked by a drag show. (more…)

In all my San Diego excitement, I forgot to mention where the pics for this week’s blog were taken:  The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.  The National Shrine is across the street from Catholic University and the Franciscan Monastery where my blog pics from the last three weeks were taken.

Basilica of the National Shrine – Burnin’ Up like Neon Lights

Cover Final

Before my San Diego trip in August, the last time I saw my best friend, Tammy, whom I’ve often talked about on this blog, was over ten years ago!  It’s hard for me to fathom the time that has passed.  Yet, it felt like no time had passed when we were reunited at my hotel.  Finally, face to face with my BFF and she looked as beautiful as when I last saw her.  We always joke it is the Asian gene that keeps us young (yes, we are both halfies!).  We hugged and began catching up while giggling like we used to when we were teenagers.  (more…)

Are you like me when it comes to shopping?  Sometimes, I buy too much!  Then, I lose track of the clothes I have bought only to discover them later with tags still on them.  My initial thought in these eureka moments?  “OMGOSH, I forgot I had these!”  Or, which is typical too, “What was I thinking?!”

Franciscan Monastery – Blue Belle

20150801_144529 Final

One of the highlights of my San Diego trip was a lunch reunion with my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Morrison.  Though Mrs. Morrison is resistant to most forms of social media (like my mom!), I maintain contact with her through Christmas cards.  Over the years when I would come back to San Diego, my good friend, Eric (family friend and Kindergarten classmate), and I would surprise Mrs. Morrison by showing up at her class door unannounced.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Evie Sandals

What attracted me to these heels were the snake-embossed patent leather bands that crisscross the sandals. I thought they were pretty unique at the time of purchase in 2013.  In classic black, I could already see dressing them up for the office or dressing them down with a pair of jeans.

An abundance of confidence is a good thing, right?  I believe so.  I’m a pretty confident person, but sometimes the things I’m most confident about should be the things I practice with humility and restraint.  Unfortunately, I never realize this until after the fact. (more…)
