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…)

Lizzy’s Latest – INC International Concepts Kenjay American Flag d’Orsay Pumps

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.

Lizzy’s Latest – Vince Camuto Fendels Stiletto Boots

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!  We certainly did.  My beautiful niece, Kristin, had the honor of playing the Virgin Mary in her school’s Passion play this year.  It’s not the first time she’s had that honor and we are all so proud of her.  Unfortunately, I have no picture to share.  Due to the pandemic, it was just an in class production (no audience).  I’ve featured stories about Kristin on the blog throughout the years and you can find one of those stories here.   (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest is FINALLY back with a new post!  It’s been a whirlwind of a month for me!  Work has been crazy busy and I’ve been enjoying weekends with good friends.  On one weekend in particular, my BFF, Packy, and I went skiing.  It was my first time skiing and OH MY, what an experience!  I will definitely detail that adventure in a future blog post. 🙂  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Father’s Day Edition

Lizzy’s Latest Note:  This post was supposed to go live on Sunday, but I had ongoing internet issues.  Comcast is the WORST!  Absolutely unreliable and I plan to cancel my service soon.  As such, my Father’s Day post is a bit belated.  

Greetings, my faithful friends and followers.  I must apologize for my absence, but life got busy (again!).  Adding to the delay was a technical issue that briefly took my website offline.  I didn’t even realize my website was offline until a few days ago when I tried to update it and couldn’t get in.  It was the worst feeling; my heart sank.  So much of my heart and soul goes into Lizzy’s Latest.  It is a passion of mine because I enjoy sharing heels and history with all of you.  🙂 (more…)
