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.
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…)
Hello, my lovelies! I can’t tell you how excited I am to feature the INC Kenjay pumps on the blog. I’ve had the heels for some time now, but could not find the perfect outfit. This look came together a bit organically. I think I found the green coated jeans first and then the sweater, both from White House Black Market (on sale!). I wasn’t sure about the sweater because it is so voluminous and my petite frame always seems to drown in “big” tops. However, pics are always about the angles and Dad has become a bit of a pro at finding the right angles…or perhaps it’s me telling him to take more pics. Haha…sorry, Dad! We’ll just say it’s a combination of both. 😉 (more…)
What a treat this week! Lizzy’s Latest has a special two part post featuring a new fashion collaboration with Sphinx Vogue and a Shoespiration segment featuring the Michael Kors Elana platform sandals. (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…)
Perhaps I would have reconsidered the brazenness of this pose had I been more familiar with Moll Dyer’s story. I contacted the guru of Southern Maryland, my best friend, William, for more insight. His tongue and cheek response: (more…)
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…)
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…)
Happy Fourth of July! Today we celebrate America’s birthday. It was 242 years ago today that the original 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence. Today, it is a day for family and friends to come together and celebrate our nation’s birthday with barbecues, parades, concerts, fireworks, and the like. My family and I will certainly be participating in the festivities. 🙂 (more…)
