Sometimes chance encounters are fated to spark spontaneous adventures. While photo shooting at a recreated Union encampment at the Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House Museum in Southern, Maryland, an unassuming man rode towards us in his ATV. Dad, my photographer, worried he would kick us off the set. (more…)
It’s been a long while…I know! I apologize for my absence from the blog last month. May was unusually busy for me. I was in South Carolina the beginning of the month for my niece, Kristin’s, First Holy Communion. I had a one week reprieve before heading up to New York City for my sister, Jeanette’s, graduate school graduation from Columbia University. My little sister is an Ivy Leaguer. 🙂 I had another short reprieve before I was on the road again for a few days of rest and relaxation in Virginia Beach. And before I knew it, May was gone. (more…)
A few months ago, a representative from Grace Karin contacted me about a fashion collaboration. Intrigued, I did a quick search on the company and was pleasantly surprised to see beautiful dresses on their site. What was even more surprising was how inexpensive the dresses were. This, of course, made me question the quality of the dresses. However, my curiosity won over and I agreed to the fashion collaboration. (more…)
There are plenty of options for black patent pumps, but finding the one takes a lot of patience and sometimes a dose of serendipity. One day, as I perused shoes on the internet, these caught my eye.

Almost every year around Christmastime, my childhood friend, Lee, brings up Mardi Gras. And every time he brings it up, I hesitate because I loathe crowds and rarely drink. I would always tell him, “Maybe next year.” To which he would respond, “Liz, you need to get out more.” (more…)
Is it already March?! Hope y’all have been well. This will be a short post. I am headed off on an adventure with friends and still need to finish packing. I will detail it in a future blog post. (more…)
We were supposed to get a mix of snow and rain this weekend, but fortunately, that did not come to fruition. Instead, the day was brisk. Temperatures remained in the 40s with a mix of sun and clouds. Brrr!!! (more…)
My search for white boots had been ongoing over the last few years. I was looking for a slouchy pair with stiletto heels that were at least 3 inches. Unfortunately, most I came across were block heels. They were nice, but did not fit my criteria. Then, one mundane Monday I came across these beauties and the day quickly turned exciting. Vince Camuto read my mind when they created the Abrianna Slouch booties! With a shoe sale going on at Macy’s, I quickly selected my size and added this pair to my cart. (more…)
On our departure morning, my Forever BFF, Tammy, had an early morning flight. I woke up to bid her farewell and stayed up to take one last walk around the city. My normally directionally challenged self was buoyed by the aid of Google Maps. 😉 (more…)
Happy New Year’s Eve! I hope you all have been enjoying the holidays. My family and I had a wonderful Christmas. The only regret was my brother and his family not being able to stay longer. (more…)
