Lizzy’s Latest – Happy Halloween!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I can’t believe my last post was on the 4th of July!  Time always has a way of escaping me.  Sigh…but, I’m back now with a new post featuring the classic and classy Sam Edelman Hazel black patent pumps.  Aren’t they so sexy?!  Of course, I am wearing torturedSoles non-slip pads to keep my narrow heels in the pumps.  🙂

I’ve been traveling A LOT this year.  That’s part of the reason why I’ve been absent from the blog.  However, being the paranormal enthusiast that I am, I could not miss posting for Halloween.  I’ve had such a fun month!  It started with a girls trip to Salem, MA with my two besties:  my childhood Forever BFF, Tammy, and my college BFF, Packy.  We had a bonus friend, Beatriz, who is Packy’s friend from her neighborhood.  I was really excited about this trip because I’ve always been interested in the witch trials of 1692.  During the hysteria, 19 people were found guilty of witchcraft and executed by hanging.  The 20th victim was a man named Giles Corey.  Corey was pressed (crushed) to death over three days because he refused to enter a plea.  

Today, Salem’s Puritan past remains in the past.  It is now an eclectic town with a festive atmosphere.  It reminded me a little of New Orleans (minus the public drinking) with throngs of people wandering the historic district and browsing the mom and pop shops, many of which were witch and occult shops.  Spooky!  I remember asking where the “normal” souvenir shops were.

Can you spot, Tammy, Beatriz, and Packy??? 😉

We ran into many spooky characters!

We took a day tour our first day in Salem.  Our guide was wonderful and gave us a great intro to Salem’s history as well as other notable facts.  I quickly learned much of Hocus Pocus was filmed there.  I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus, but it is now on my list of movies to watch.  Several episodes of Bewitched were filmed in Salem too!  There is a statue of Elizabeth Montgomery across from the Gulu-Gulu Cafe

Beatriz took this capture of me with my besties at the Bewitched statue on our last night in Salem. Packy couldn’t resist buying a witch hat. Lol!

Lizzy’s Latest: Vince Camuto Abrianna Slouch Booties

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.

La Plata, MD – The Celestial Biker: New Orleans, LA Adventure Highlights: Conclusion

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…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Happy New Year’s Eve!

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…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Jessica Simpson Lyndy Slouchy Boots


It was love at first sight when I discovered these boots online.  I adored them so much, I included them on Lizzy’s Latest Top 5 Fall Favorites back in September.  What I didn’t like was the $120 price tag.  Eventually, I caught a sale and purchased them at a 30% discount.  🙂 (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Leather Tie boots

It was mid-January in Southern Maryland and after a cold spell, Mother Nature gave us a beautiful weekend.  Relatively warm days like these are few and far between in the wintertime here, so Dad and I took advantage of the nice weather and scheduled a photo shoot. (more…)
