My enthusiasm for Civil War history made Richmond, VA a frequent place of adventure for me and my dad. Yet, Richmond boasts Revolutionary War history as well! One weekend, we stumbled upon this sign at The Poe Museum. (more…)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to my family, friends, followers, and visitors! As usual, I’m fashionably late with posting. Sigh! I hope y’all had a great holiday! Christmas here was a little smaller because my brother, Michael, and his family were not able to make it up from NC this year. So, my annual Christmas pic with the kiddies was replaced with a snap of me with the rest of my family. (more…)
So, I have to give credit to my dad for suggesting a carnival photo shoot for the 4th of July. When we were throwing out ideas, I thought it would be cool to take a drive to Williamsburg, VA and check out the President Heads. When I showed Dad some pics, he scoffed and reminded me my stilettos would get dirty in the mud. OK … maybe, not my best idea, but I was also a little hesitant about the carnival thinking it would be too crowded. Dad assured me we would go before it opened and despite my reticence, I agreed for lack of a better location. (more…)
On this day two hundred forty five years ago, America’s founders declared independence from England. Today, Independence Day is a grand celebration and what better way to celebrate the 4th than going to a hometown carnival! (more…)
I’ve had quite the adventure these last several weeks. With spring in full swing and the weather staying consistently nice, the shopping bug hit me! I’ve been sooooooo good since Christmas and I gave up shopping for Lent. So, I was seriously itching for some retail therapy after Easter. I told myself I would remain disciplined, but then one pair of heels became two pairs of heels. Then, three pairs of heels became four pairs of heels. And after the fifth pair, I stopped counting. Sigh…so much for discipline! I confess, I’m a shoe addict! (more…)
💖 Happy Valentine’s Day! 💖 Lizzy’s Latest is back with a quick Shoespiration segment featuring the Michael Kors Keke Booties. Aren’t they chic in this brandy hue?! (more…)
If these boots look familiar, there’s a reason. They were featured on Lizzy’s Latest in December 2018, but in a different color. I originally purchased them in red and loved them so much, I bought them in black too. 🙂 My original post is here and the review is here. (more…)
Lincoln’s spectacular view: the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and Capitol. 🙂
These shots were taken the week after Thanksgiving. I usually take that week off to do the majority of my Christmas shopping and put up the tree. When I noticed one of the days was going to be a balmy 50 degrees, I asked Dad if he could take the day off for a photo shoot. Dad was game and when I suggested the Lincoln Memorial, he was ecstatic. Dad had been wanting to photograph at this location since I started my blog in 2015. It was the perfect time of year too with minimal crowds. (more…)
I realize this is a little belated, but CONGRATULATIONS to the Washington Nationals for their 2019 World Series Championship win over the (cheating) Houston Astros!!! (more…)
