Savannah, GA captures my heart over and over again. Its beauty captivates me while its soul always draws me back. The last time I was there was in the summer of 2019. I arrived the evening before my parents got there and I felt so happy to be back in my favorite Southern city. (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…)
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, had an interesting life. He was kidnapped into slavery by Irish pirates when he was just 16-years old. While enslaved, St. Patrick worked as a shepherd and learned the Irish language. During this time, he found comfort in prayer and developed a relationship with God. One night in a dream, God instructed St. Patrick to find his way to the coast. There he would find a boat that would free him from his captors. Obeying God’s advice, St. Patrick indeed found a ship that sailed him home. (more…)
When I began my blog journey some years ago, our go-to destination for photo shoots was Richmond, VA. Richmond is steeped in Civil War history and remnants of the Old South’s charm still feel warm and inviting. Its allure has captured my heart and it’s the only city that draws me back time and time again. (more…)
When we shot this photo shoot a few weekends ago, it was meant for a mini blog post. My intent was to have a new segment on the blog that would feature fashion inspiration in between full blog posts. It would be my way to stay connected with all of you in the interim because publishing monthly sometimes feels like too long of an absence, at least to me. However, we took so many great shots that I decided to bump the heel/outfit combo I initially had for February and go with this heel/outfit combo instead. And just FYI…the new segment is still in the works. So, stay tuned! (more…)
At dinner with my parents a month ago, Mom asked if I could print a Kohls coupon for her. I assured her I would, and thought nothing more of it. As we continued talking, Mom started nudging Dad and giggling. I could tell Dad did not want to acknowledge what was unspoken between them. Of course, that piqued my curiosity prompting me to ask: (more…)
We had dazzling sunshine the day of this photo shoot at the Antietam National Battlefield, but it was blustery and barely 40 degrees. It was the perfect day for leggings, a tunic sweater, cute brown booties, and kite flying. (more…)
Taking the road less traveled 🙂
Happy New Year! I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve! There was a time when I liked to dress up in a sexy pair of heels and dance the night away. Now, I prefer quieter evenings at home. I tend to fall asleep around 10PM, but I set my alarm for 11:58PM. This way, I wake up in time to watch the ball drop and wish everyone a Happy New Year. 🙂 (more…)
Are you like me when it comes to shopping? Sometimes, I buy too much! Then, I lose track of the clothes I have bought only to discover them later with tags still on them. My initial thought in these eureka moments? “OMGOSH, I forgot I had these!” Or, which is typical too, “What was I thinking?!”
One of the highlights of my San Diego trip was a lunch reunion with my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Morrison. Though Mrs. Morrison is resistant to most forms of social media (like my mom!), I maintain contact with her through Christmas cards. Over the years when I would come back to San Diego, my good friend, Eric (family friend and Kindergarten classmate), and I would surprise Mrs. Morrison by showing up at her class door unannounced.
