what to wear

Shoespiration – White House Black Market Tassel Tie Heels

Oh my goodness!  Where to begin?  I apologize for my extended absence from the blog, but life got busy.  I’ve been traveling too.  I took my niece, Kristin, on our annual girl’s trip to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA.  We had a great time and I will write more about this in a future blog post.   (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Jessica Simpson Beeya Two-Piece Platform Sandals

After Easter, I went a little overboard with shoe shopping.  I bought around 10 pairs of shoes in one sitting!  These sky-high heels were in that bunch.  I’ve never featured Jessica Simpson heels on the blog because a lot of her heels are too high for me and not necessarily the most comfortable.  However, I took a chance on this pair because I love red stiletto heels and I wanted to pair them with this beautiful floral romper.  (more…)

Solomon’s Island, Maryland – Andrew’s Making Money

Hersheypark amusement park in Hershey, PA is such a happy place.  I was so excited to return last July with my Godson, Andrew.  Earlier in the summer, I had taken his sister, Kristin, to the park and we had a wonderful time.  This time around, I looked forward to riding more roller coasters because Andrew is taller than Kristin.  🙂

Andrew’s a Hershey’s, one candy taller than Kristin. 🙂

Shoespiration – Vince Camuto Windy Moto Boots

Winter has overstayed its welcome here in the DC area in my humble opinion.  On the first day of Spring, we got hit with a snow storm that dumped several inches of snow.  March has yet to see a 60-degree day here and I am just annoyed.  Sigh! (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Marc Fisher Nella Over the Knee Boots

Every Christmas I volunteer at the former Museum of the Confederacy (now the American Civil War Museum) for Court End Christmas.  I’ve had the honor of being Santa’s Elf every year and it’s always great catching up with my favorite Santa – the real Santa!  😉

My annual pic with Santa. 🙂

Alexandria, VA: Fort Ward – Farewell my Faithful Friend

This Christmas was especially meaningful to me.  I was enjoying the company of family and creating precious memories, but also grieving my dear friend and Manager, Anna, who was tragically killed in a tour bus crash in Mexico days before Christmas along with her 11-year old son, Daniel, and her recently widowed mother.  Anna’s husband, Moises, and 15-year old son, David, survived, thankfully.

Southern Maryland – Fearless

I always get nervous when I have to drive to unfamiliar places.  Fortunately, it’s not as intimidating anymore with a GPS navigator and apps like Waze to direct me.  I used both to guide me to my Aunt Lisa, Uncle Shawn, and cousin, Caroline’s house back in July. (more…)

Shoespiration – White House Black Market Ruby Suede Pumps

I recently returned from my annual girls trip with my Forever BFF, Tammy.  Adventure led us to New Orleans, LA this year.  It was a great time and I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Tammy.  I will share the details of this trip in a future blog post, of course.  😉

Lizzy’s Latest – INC International Concepts Sadiee Strappy Dress Sandals

Two Fridays ago, my beloved Sony VAIO laptop died.  With no laptop, this post remained in limbo.  I spent all last week researching new laptops and so much has changed in the last 10 years!  Being a creature of habit, change doesn’t always come easy to me.  Sigh… (more…)

Richmond, VA – Maymont Mansion – Thankful

When the New Kids on the Block (NKOTB) reunited back in late 2007, I was one of the lucky fans who saw them live on the Today Show on May 16, 2008, their first live concert since 1994!  Now an adult, it was exciting and surreal to watch the boyband of my childhood performing right in front of me.  Donnie Wahlberg (my favorite New Kid) flashed his million dollar smile at me and my heart raced as I smiled back.
