My enthusiasm for Civil War history made Richmond, VA a frequent place of adventure for me and my dad. Yet, Richmond boasts Revolutionary War history as well! One weekend, we stumbled upon this sign at The Poe Museum. (more…)
Last weekend, we were blessed with magnificent weather. Low humidity and temps in the upper 70s. Of course, we took advantage of this with multiple photo shoots. We spent Saturday in Richmond and stayed local on Sunday. I will detail the Richmond shoots when I feature those heels. (more…)
Happy Fourth of July! Today we celebrate America’s birthday. It was 242 years ago today that the original 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence. Today, it is a day for family and friends to come together and celebrate our nation’s birthday with barbecues, parades, concerts, fireworks, and the like. My family and I will certainly be participating in the festivities. 🙂 (more…)
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…)
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. 🙂
One of the best things about living in the Washington DC area is the endless options for photo shoot locales. We decided to drive into Washington, DC to check out the Botanic Garden situated on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol. We found great parking just across the street from it and only had to walk a short distance. I was looking forward to the shoot until we walked in: humidity greeted us and the tight walkways were streaming with visitors. I gave my dad a disapproving look, but he still wanted to take some “test” shots. We spent about 15 minutes there before I was over it. Diva behavior according to my dad! 😉 (more…)
As much as I love kids, there was a time when I never wanted any of my own. That mindset evolved to if I ever had kids, I only wanted boys. Then, my brother, Michael, and his wife, Shannon, had my niece, Kristin and that sentiment went out the window. (more…)
I am a girly-girl at heart. So, I could not help, but fall in love with these fringe lace ups by Steve Madden. They are the epitome of sexy! The flirty fringe at the toe strap is so playful that I found myself stretching my legs in a dramatic walk to catch a glimpse of the ever so subtle swoosh of the fringe. 😉 What adds glamour to this sandal is the approximately 4.25 inch heel (pretty high even for me) and the ankle strap lace ups. I love the tassel detail at the end of the lace ups too. It adds such a nice touch to this gorgeous heel. (more…)
In less than two weeks, my BFF, Tammy, and I will be on our way to Savannah, GA! Hard to believe, but Tammy has never been to the East Coast or the South. Her biggest anxiety is the thought of mosquitoes eating her alive because she is very prone to getting bit. We always joke she has sweet blood! 😉 I told her not to worry because I will bring the bug spray. 🙂
