Lizzy’s Latest – Burnside Bridge at Antietam Battlefield – Merry Christmas 2021

MERRY CHRISTMAS to my family, friends, followers, and visitors!  I can’t believe how fast December flew.  It felt like just yesterday I was writing out Christmas cards.  Now, I will enjoy “Midnight” Mass at 8PM this evening with my parents.  Then after, I will be up late wrapping presents and baking my famous chocolate chip cookies. 

My sister, Jeanette, and my brother, Michael, and his family will arrive tomorrow afternoon just in time for Dad’s legendary turkey feast and chocolate pudding pie – mont blanc, anyone?  😉  I can’t wait!  It is such a joyous time of year for me and my family.

Yet, I also realize this time of year can be difficult and challenging for some.  People who are alone and/or estranged from family and/or friends.  I’ve had years like that in the past growing up and it’s not a good feeling.  Long before my deeper conversion to my Catholic faith (read about it here), I was spiritually lost.  I ignored the true meaning of Christmas and blamed God for whatever suffering I was struggling with, never looking myself in the mirror for the true architect of my misery…me.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Lizzy vs. the Manhole Masher

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!   

While photo shooting a few weekends ago, we encountered this skeleton emerging from a manhole.  It was part of a Halloween display decorating the town of La Plata, MD.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a great prop poking tongue in cheek fun at all the shoe and feet enthusiasts out there.  As a shoe blogger, you can imagine the types of messages I get from these admirers…perhaps, that will be a future blog post!  😉

In the meantime, enjoy this Halloween tale about an unsuspecting shoe blogger and a stalking manhole masher in Lizzy vs. the Manhole Masher!

Lizzy’s Latest – Paranormal Pacifier

The paranormal has always intrigued me and my dad.  Although, we don’t participate in any occult practices, we love wandering around haunted places, taking ghost tours, and exploring graveyards and cemeteries to indulge our taphophile hearts.  (more…)

Shoespiration – Anne Klein Lalima Platform Sandals

Are y’all surprised to hear from me so soon?!  😉  I’m truly trying to make up for all this lost time.  This summer was hectic with work, summer adventures, and photo shoots.  Although I didn’t post much these last couple of months, we were still taking pictures for the blog.  I have a backlog of content from past summers and this summer to share.  My dad is of the mindset that summer looks can be posted anytime of year.  I tend to like to share outfits that complement the current season.  Perhaps there can be a compromise.  What do you think?

Shoespiration – Aldo Gorgeous Dress Sandals – Port Tobacco, MD

Is it really September?!  As I always ask, where does the time go?  I’ve been away too long!  Work has been busy as usual, but I took some time off in July to spend time with my two Godsons, Andrew and Josh.  My brother and his boys stopped for a visit on their way to Ocean City, MD for their annual beach week.   (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Inc Kenjay d’Orsay Pumps

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…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Take me Home, Country Roads

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my family, friends, followers, and visitors!  2021 will be an epic year, I can feel it!  😉  Do y’all do resolutions?  I do not.  Resolutions are so easily broken.  Haha!  Instead, I focus on being a better version of myself than the previous year.  For 2021, that will entail getting out of my comfort zone, particularly when it comes to nature.  (more…)

Shoespiration – Vince Camuto Amvita Booties – Destined to be Friends

Sometimes friendship is a destiny waiting to happen.  One of the best gifts of starting my blog is connecting with my followers.  One of my first followers is a guy named Mike.  Mike has a great page filled with nature, sunsets/sunrises, and history.  It’s a perfect trifecta of interests. (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Sun, Sand, Surf…Shoes!

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!
