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…)

Haunted History – The Legend of Moll Dyer – the Witch of Leonardtown, MD

Perhaps I would have reconsidered the brazenness of this pose had I been more familiar with Moll Dyer’s story.  I contacted the guru of Southern Maryland, my best friend, William, for more insight.  His tongue and cheek response: (more…)

Collaboration – torturedSoles

I’ve always adored traditional pumps.  I find them beautifully timeless and fiercely feminine.  Over the years, I have tried to wear them, but my narrow heels would always slip out of the heels causing me great frustration and embarrassment.  Eventually, I discovered heel inserts and thought they would be the solution to my narrow heels.  The drug store brands did solve the heel issue, but their bulk made the toe box extremely tight and painful.  For a while, I endured the pain for fashion’s sake, but the nightly toe cramps finally convinced me that traditional pumps were simply not compatible with my narrow heels.  Sigh…

Unable to wear traditional pumps, my feelings start with sadness…

Then, evolve to utter frustration!
