Sometimes, life’s wonderful moments happen unexpectedly. About a month or so ago, my friend, Bill, surprised me. He said he would be in my area attending his older brother’s pinning ceremony for promotion to Colonel in the United States Air Force! I was so happy for Bill and his family because many years before, their father had a similar pinning ceremony when he was promoted to Colonel. Their military service had come full circle and I can only imagine the pride and joy beaming from their hearts as Stephen was pinned. (more…)
I purchased these booties during the height of my enthusiasm for burgundy/wine colored heels. I knew they would look perfect with this plaid skirt I paired them with. I was going for a school-girl vibe with this photo shoot. I even brought along some graduate school books that matched my outfit. Thank you, Managerial Economics. 😉
The boots are super comfortable with a nice footbed and a heel height of approximately 3 inches. I had to walk through some gravel as we navigated our way through an elementary school and a high school. I swung on swings at the elementary school and even attempted to climb on the monkey bars. The kid in me was smiling!
The boot is an almond toe with a side zip closure. It has a suede upper and comes in black, dark blue, and dark red (my purchase). I really love the side buckle because it adds a charming detail to the booties. These boots are still available at Macy’s in all the colors I mention above, at least at the time of this post. A quick internet search for “Marc Fisher Tailynn booties” will bring up other options as well.
I highly recommend adding these booties to your Fall collection. I’ve gotten several compliments from co-workers, friends, and even strangers. I love the skinny heels and the wine color is so sexy and in the moment! Pair them with mini-skirts, leggings, and jeans. They will definitely amp up your look and get you noticed.
September through December is my favorite time of year. The oppressive heat of Summer dissipates into the more comfortable temperatures of Fall. Leaves begin to change colors putting on a spectacular show before dancing their final act through the air in a random spiral to the ground. Halloween comes and goes and before I know it, Thanksgiving and Christmas are around the corner. (more…)
My obsession with fringe continues! However, as much as I coveted this boot, the current price point was out of my budget. Yet, I was so tempted to make an exception because the booties are so sexy-cute and irresistible! It was a constant battle between waiting and splurging. What helped me wait was the warm weather. I knew the boot would be in its box collecting dust until the cooler temps. On the other hand, I was also worried my size would disappear. SIGH…the stress of strategic shoe shopping! 😉 (more…)
When I began this blogging adventure, I was brimming with content ideas and the excitement of posting an online journal. In addition to sharing my love of heels and history, I had intended for Lizzy’s Latest to be a hodge-podge of my favorite things. (more…)
Last Saturday, the weather was partly sunny, around 58 degrees, and with a breeze. It was perfect weather for wearing booties. With the cooler temps, I paired them with a long-sleeved plaid top cinched with a belt and cords. Both top and pants are from Ann Taylor Loft. (more…)
It is rare to have my whole family together all at once. So, imagine my excitement and anticipation as I made my drive to my brother, Michael’s, house in South Carolina for my Godson’s baptism. My sister and parents had arrived the afternoon before and were already settled. (more…)
D’Orsay style pumps are so elegant and sexy. If you’re wondering what d’Orsay style is, it is simply when one or both sides of a pump are cut away to reveal the arch of the foot. This is the style of the Enzo Angiolini Circini pumps. (more…)
I had an interesting experience this week. On Monday, I pulled out of my garage and noticed my car sounded loud. Initially, I was concerned, but not concerned enough to stop and check it out. Yes, a complete “knows nothing about cars” chick reaction! So, I continued my 45-mile drive to work convincing myself the sound was normal. Eventually, I had to turn up the music to drown it out. No sound, no problem, right? I got to work safely and decided my 9-year old car was beginning to show its age. (more…)
