Lizzy’s Latest – Southern Maryland – HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

HAPPY 4TH of JULY, my family, friends, followers, and visitors!  It is Independence Day here in the United States.  It was on this day 248 years ago that 13 courageous colonies declared their independence from Great Britain (July 4, 1776).  You can read more about the history from my 4th of July post from last year here.  🙂 (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Vince Camuto Elisen Buckle Lug Sole Booties

Maryland is such a beautiful state!  To this day, we continue to discover amazing treasures such as the War Correspondents Memorial Arch at Gathland State Park in Western Maryland.  I was so excited to have a fall photo shoot here because of the gorgeous backdrop.  Part of the Appalachian Trail cuts through here and the area is steeped in Civil War history that I was not aware of until we found this hidden gem.  I’m hoping to write more about its Civil War past in future blog posts.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Jessica Simpson Beeya Two-Piece Platform Sandals

After Easter, I went a little overboard with shoe shopping.  I bought around 10 pairs of shoes in one sitting!  These sky-high heels were in that bunch.  I’ve never featured Jessica Simpson heels on the blog because a lot of her heels are too high for me and not necessarily the most comfortable.  However, I took a chance on this pair because I love red stiletto heels and I wanted to pair them with this beautiful floral romper.  (more…)

Solomon’s Island, Maryland – Andrew’s Making Money

Hersheypark amusement park in Hershey, PA is such a happy place.  I was so excited to return last July with my Godson, Andrew.  Earlier in the summer, I had taken his sister, Kristin, to the park and we had a wonderful time.  This time around, I looked forward to riding more roller coasters because Andrew is taller than Kristin.  🙂

Andrew’s a Hershey’s, one candy taller than Kristin. 🙂
