HAPPY HALLOWEEN, my family, friends, followers, and visitors! Hope y’all have had an adventurous and spooky Ghostober! 😊 I know it’s been quite some time since my last post on the 4th of July and I apologize for the long absence. I traveled a lot this summer and also just got back from my annual girls trip with my besties a few weeks ago. You’ll definitely hear about that in an upcoming blog post. Always fun times with my BFFs.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I can’t believe my last post was on the 4th of July! Time always has a way of escaping me. Sigh…but, I’m back now with a new post featuring the classic and classy Sam Edelman Hazel black patent pumps. Aren’t they so sexy?! Of course, I am wearing torturedSoles non-slip pads to keep my narrow heels in the pumps. 🙂
I’ve been traveling A LOT this year. That’s part of the reason why I’ve been absent from the blog. However, being the paranormal enthusiast that I am, I could not miss posting for Halloween. I’ve had such a fun month! It started with a girls trip to Salem, MA with my two besties: my childhood Forever BFF, Tammy, and my college BFF, Packy. We had a bonus friend, Beatriz, who is Packy’s friend from her neighborhood. I was really excited about this trip because I’ve always been interested in the witch trials of 1692. During the hysteria, 19 people were found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging. The 20th victim was a man named Giles Corey. Corey was pressed (crushed) to death over three days because he refused to enter a plea.
Today, Salem’s Puritan past remains in the past. It is now an eclectic town with a festive atmosphere. It reminded me a little of New Orleans (minus the public drinking) with throngs of people wandering the historic district and browsing the mom and pop shops, many of which were witch and occult shops. Spooky! I remember asking where the “normal” souvenir shops were.
Can you spot, Tammy, Beatriz, and Packy??? 😉
We ran into many spooky characters!
We took a day tour our first day in Salem. Our guide was wonderful and gave us a great intro to Salem’s history as well as other notable facts. I quickly learned much of Hocus Pocus was filmed there. I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus, but it is now on my list of movies to watch. Several episodes of Bewitched were filmed in Salem too! There is a statue of Elizabeth Montgomery across from the Gulu-Gulu Cafe.
Beatriz took this capture of me with my besties at the Bewitched statue on our last night in Salem. Packy couldn’t resist buying a witch hat. Lol!
Last weekend, we were blessed with magnificent weather. Low humidity and temps in the upper 70s. Of course, we took advantage of this with multiple photo shoots. We spent Saturday in Richmond and stayed local on Sunday. I will detail the Richmond shoots when I feature those heels. (more…)
My busy season is finally over at work! Though, this week has been unusually busy. I don’t mind though because it makes the day go by faster. 🙂 (more…)
It is that time of year again when summer’s farewell lingers like the final notes of a beautifully composed piece of music. The ambience is sublime and filled with mirthful memories of time well spent. Holding on for one more hurrah and always one more until there is no more. Parting is such sweet sorrow tempered by fall’s inevitable tomorrow. Enticed, fall captivates with colorful landscapes and dancing leaves that fall from above. The aroma of burning wood on crisp evenings signals the start of sweater weather, boots, and everything else we love about this new season. For me, it is all of the above and of course, the annual Lizzy’s Latest Top 5 Fall Favorites! (more…)
