Richmond, VA: Cold Harbor/Gaines Mill/Belle Isle – Simply Stated

20150704_154215 Final

In a June post, I spoke about being complimented on a pair of heels I was wearing while in line for Communion.  What I didn’t mention was that I put these sandals in a donation bag.  I decided to wear them one more time because I could not find anything else to wear.  Go figure!  The compliment saved these shoes and now they are being featured on the blog this week.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Steve Madden Fringly Sandals

IMG_6123 Final Wed

If you’ve been reading my posts, you know my fling with fringe started with the Report Signature – Noemie T-Strap sandals.  I was so in love with those heels and then the Steve Madden Fringly happened!  Love at first sight…again!  The colors are so gorgeous.  Blue, purple, and yellow!  Not to mention the traditional colors of black, taupe, and chestnut brown.  I was soooo tempted to buy it in blue, but I ALWAYS seem to buy blue.  So, I went out of my comfort zone and chose the yellow which is more of a yellowy-lime in person.

Point Lookout, MD – Lighthouse – A Fringe Affair to Remember

Cover

Don’t you love it when you find an outfit (or a pair of shoes) you weren’t expecting to find?  In fact, you weren’t even looking for it.   Then, in a moment of serendipity you end up with something new to bring home.      

That’s what happened to me when I found this super cute romper.  Let me explain… (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Michael Michael Kors Kami Ankle Strap

IMG_5799 Final

I adore yellow in the summertime, but it can be a hard color to wear.  For me, it’s always been about finding the right shade of yellow to compliment my pale skin.  Rich, vibrant colors work well on me, so when I saw the Kami wedge sandals online a few summers ago, I purchased them.  I had no idea what I would wear with them (common issue with shoe addicts!), but I fell in love with the pop of patent yellow and the espadrille detail for the heel.

Point Lookout, MD – Proud American

IMG_5994 Final a

Not too long ago, I received an email that surprised me.  A nice woman from Australia connected with me using the Contact form on my website.  She needed shoes for her son’s wedding and wanted to know more of my thoughts on the Enzo Angiolini Leluna sandals I featured in week two of my blog.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – GUESS Carlene Fringe Ankle Strap Dress Sandals

IMG_5725 Final

My love affair with fringe continues.  This time, the fringe is braided, loose, and carefree.  Swishing with every move, it adds a playful personality to the GUESS Carlene sandals.  I also love the multi-row ankle strap.  These standout details are definitely eye catching.  It’s hard not to feel a “notice me” vibe when sashaying in these boho, flirty, simple, sexy heels!     (more…)

Malvern Hill Battlefield – Heels on the Battlefield

IMG_5659 Final

People are always surprised when they learn that I love Civil War and Ancient Rome history.  How is it that a girl who loves fashion also loves exploring battlefields and ancient ruins?  It reminds me of the time when my best friend, Tammy, and I used to ponder how girls who love boy bands could also love rock bands?  To us, liking rock bands seemed like such a betrayal to our favorite boy band.  So, we just didn’t.  Yet, music has a way of capturing hearts and minds and we eventually came to appreciate all music.

The color pink always brings me back to my childhood.  Although I was a tomboy, I did have my girly side.  Still do.  So it is no surprise, being the nostalgic girl that I am, pink is still one of my favorite colors.
