Lizzy’s Latest – Elizabeth Who?!

I confess!  I am a bit high maintenance.  Though many who know me would argue I am VERY high maintenance.  According to my Forever BFF, Tammy: (more…)

La Plata, MD: Mardi Gras Highlights – New Orleans, LA (Warning – Adult Content)

Almost every year around Christmastime, my childhood friend, Lee, brings up Mardi Gras.  And every time he brings it up, I hesitate because I loathe crowds and rarely drink.  I would always tell him, “Maybe next year.”  To which he would respond, “Liz, you need to get out more.”   (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Homage to the Poe Toaster

Edgar Allan Poe remained true to his art.  He had so many opportunities to lead a life of practicality, but he always found ways to flee complacency.  For Poe’s passion was writing and he was determined to earn a living wage through his fictions.  He would be the first American writer to attempt this, but his efforts never translated to enduring financial success.

Shoespiration – Guess Aurela Lace Up Sandals

Ever since I commenced this blog in 2015, I feel like I am constantly chasing time.  Last month, my intent was to post a main blog post with part 2 of my New Orleans adventure with my Forever BFF, Tammy, but as always, time was fleeting.  Now, it’s October and I have “Ghostober” posts perfect for the month of Halloween.  These posts can’t be delayed and as such, my main blog post shall linger into November.  Though, I’m sure that’s ok, right?  As long as I continue to post new content?  😉  (more…)

Bethesda/Rockville, MD – Neutral State of Mind

1 IMG_7122 Final

After the Bar Mitvah I wrote about last week, my dad and I spent the rest of the afternoon taking blog pictures.  To take full advantage of time and weather, we take pictures for 3-4 weeks worth of blog entries.  It makes for a long afternoon, but it is well worth the effort to avoid having to take pictures every weekend.     (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Evie Sandals

IMG_6520 Final

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.

Franciscan Monastery – Nature in Full Bloom

IMG_6525 Final B

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…)

Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Black Suede Lace up Heels

20150704_174915_Richtone(HDR) Final

As you can imagine, one of my favorite things to do is peruse shoes online.  I actually prefer to buy online because in most instances, the shoes come directly from the warehouse.  I like the feeling of knowing my feet are the first to slip into the shoes.  The worst feeling is getting new shoes that have been tried on and stretched.  Gross.    (more…)
