It is rare to have my whole family together all at once.  So, imagine my excitement and anticipation as I made my drive to my brother, Michael’s, house in South Carolina for my Godson’s baptism.  My sister and parents had arrived the afternoon before and were already settled.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Enzo Angiolini Circini Point-Toe Pumps

IMG_7041 Final

D’Orsay style pumps are so elegant and sexy.  If you’re wondering what d’Orsay style is, it is simply when one or both sides of a pump are cut away to reveal the arch of the foot.  This is the style of the Enzo Angiolini Circini pumps.     (more…)

Bethesda/Rockville, MD – A Breath of Fresh Air

1 20150919_142929 Final

I had an interesting experience this week.  On Monday, I pulled out of my garage and noticed my car sounded loud.  Initially, I was concerned, but not concerned enough to stop and check it out.  Yes, a complete “knows nothing about cars” chick reaction!  So, I continued my 45-mile drive to work convincing myself the sound was normal.  Eventually, I had to turn up the music to drown it out.  No sound, no problem, right?  I got to work safely and decided my 9-year old car was beginning to show its age.    (more…)

Bethesda/Rockville, MD – Neutral State of Mind

After the Bar Mitvah I wrote about last week, my dad and I spent the rest of the afternoon taking blog pictures.  To take full advantage of time and weather, we take pictures for 3-4 weeks worth of blog entries.  It makes for a long afternoon, but it is well worth the effort to avoid having to take pictures every weekend.     (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Top 5 Fall Favorites

 

 

Top 5 Fall Faves

Crisp mornings and warm afternoons signal a change in season is imminent.   I don’t want Summer to end, but the beauty of Fall is alluring.  I love watching the leaves change colors as Summer becomes a distant memory.  For me, Fall truly arrives the moment I smell the sweet scent of firewood in the evening air.  Like an old friend returning, I welcome the familiar embrace.

Lizzy’s Latest – BCBGeneration Darron Two-Tone Patent Pump

 

IMG_7299 Final

I don’t normally shop at DSW, but I had some time to spare one Saturday afternoon a few months ago.  After half an hour of browsing, I came across the Darron pumps.  The gold studs caught my eye.  It was a style I had seen before and craved, but could never find in my usual shopping places.  At the time, I thought I had found a hidden treasure and was ecstatic that they had my size!  I tried them on and loved them.  So, I scooped up the box and went straight to the register.  (more…)

Bethesda/Rockville, MD – Summer’s Last Hurrah

20150919_181614 Final MON

I am a practicing Roman Catholic.  So, imagine my curiosity and interest when my good friend from work, Anna, invited me and my dad to her son, David’s, Bar Mitvah at the Magen David Sephardic Congregation located in Rockville, Maryland.  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – White House Black Market Hawaii Sandals

IMG_6768 Final

For this heel/outfit combo, I can’t remember what came first:  the heels or the dress.  Whatever the sequence, I remember my satisfaction when I wore the look to a summer concert, of the boy-band variety, of course.  😉  This time around, it was summer fun at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA.     (more…)

Balboa Park – California Dreamin’

IMG_6809 Final

I am excited to share the blog pics for this week because they were taken in San Diego, CA!  My BFF, Tammy, volunteered to be my photographer.  We had discussed locations for the shoot and initially we had planned to take shots in the desert, but we got sidetracked by a drag show. (more…)
