Hello, my lovelies! Lizzy’s Latest is finally back with a new post! It always seems to take forever these days to finish a post with life pulling me in so many different directions. Yet, no matter how much time has passed, I return. I truly appreciate your patience during these long absences from the blog. I have so much content and not a lot of idle time anymore. So, I continue to seek that balance that will allow me to post more frequently, like I used to. (more…)
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!
If these boots look familiar, there’s a reason. They were featured on Lizzy’s Latest in December 2018, but in a different color. I originally purchased them in red and loved them so much, I bought them in black too. 🙂 My original post is here and the review is here. (more…)
Lincoln’s spectacular view: the Reflecting Pool, Washington Monument, and Capitol. 🙂
These shots were taken the week after Thanksgiving. I usually take that week off to do the majority of my Christmas shopping and put up the tree. When I noticed one of the days was going to be a balmy 50 degrees, I asked Dad if he could take the day off for a photo shoot. Dad was game and when I suggested the Lincoln Memorial, he was ecstatic. Dad had been wanting to photograph at this location since I started my blog in 2015. It was the perfect time of year too with minimal crowds. (more…)
Last week I shared outfit 1 celebrating the Washington Nationals 2019 World Series Championship win. I dubbed it my “All American Girl” look. This week, I am sharing outfit 2 which I have labeled my “Vixen” look. To me, it’s amazing how a pair of black backseam pantyhose can elevate an outfit from cute to SEXY! (more…)
I realize this is a little belated, but CONGRATULATIONS to the Washington Nationals for their 2019 World Series Championship win over the (cheating) Houston Astros!!! (more…)
Happy New Year, family, friends, followers, AND first time visitors! I’m always nostalgic this time of year and ever so grateful for your love, friendship, and loyalty. 2019 was a great year at Lizzy’s Latest. (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…)
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…)
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…)
