Hello, my lovelies! Lizzy’s Latest is finally back with a new post! It always seems to take forever these days to finish a post with life pulling me in so many different directions. Yet, no matter how much time has passed, I return. I truly appreciate your patience during these long absences from the blog. I have so much content and not a lot of idle time anymore. So, I continue to seek that balance that will allow me to post more frequently, like I used to. (more…)
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!
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…)
Lizzy goes to the beach in this installment of Lizzy’s Latest! 😉 If you know me or have been following my blog, you know that I grew up on the beaches of San Diego. Some of my happiest childhood memories happened at the beach with my Forever BFF, Tammy. When we were younger, her dad used to take us and our brothers to the annual sandcastle competition at Imperial Beach. It was so much fun watching artists create spectacular works of art out of sand! When we were preteens, Tammy and I used to be dropped off at the beach where we would enjoy girl time and flirt with the cute boys…surfers for me and skaters for Tammy. Haha! (more…)
A little insight to this shot. It was very sunny that day and sunny days aren’t ideal for good blog pictures. I was standing on that ledge for quite some time waiting for the sun to go behind the clouds. Suddenly, a moment presented itself and it was so fleeting, I didn’t have time to fix my top. So, that’s why my hands are on my top like that. As soon as this shot was taken, the sun was blinding me again. Sigh…so, we decided to move on.
I have been on a good streak with publishing content for the blog. We’ve been so busy with photo shoots these last several months that I don’t know if I will have time to share all the summer heels I’d like to feature here before fall. Plus, I have some Heels on the Battlefield posts in the works for all my history enthusiasts. It’s been a while since I published a history post and I can’t wait to share my latest one with y’all. In the meantime, you can check out two of my favorite Heels on the Battlefield posts from last year, here and here. And let’s not forget, Lizzy’s Latest Top 5 Fall Favorites, a September staple on the blog. (more…)
I am sooooo late with this post! With work and life so busy (as usual), I must confess, I’ve been procrastinating on the blog. I’ve been wanting to enjoy weekends and road trips and so that’s what I did. I’m certain like many of you, staying indoors for all those months was tough, even for me, a natural homebody. Even homebodies have their limits! 😉 (more…)
Lizzy’s Latest Note: This post was supposed to go live on Sunday, but I had ongoing internet issues. Comcast is the WORST! Absolutely unreliable and I plan to cancel my service soon. As such, my Father’s Day post is a bit belated.
Greetings, my faithful friends and followers. I must apologize for my absence, but life got busy (again!). Adding to the delay was a technical issue that briefly took my website offline. I didn’t even realize my website was offline until a few days ago when I tried to update it and couldn’t get in. It was the worst feeling; my heart sank. So much of my heart and soul goes into Lizzy’s Latest. It is a passion of mine because I enjoy sharing heels and history with all of you. 🙂 (more…)
Back in February, a representative from Thread Tank reached out to me for a collaboration. I had never heard of this company, so I looked them up. I discovered that they are an apparel company that creates graphic tops for women, men, and toddlers. Their tops display words and phrases that fit your mood and speak your story. As their motto implies, their tops are “stories you can wear.” (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…)
