Back in the Fall, I was dazzled by the assortment of boots and booties in the market. I wanted to buy every shoe that caught my eye. Over the years, I have learned to control my sometimes impetuous shopping personality. So each season, I make a list of all the shoes I “have to have” and then give myself a few days or more, if I’m anticipating a sale, to think about my shopping list. Occasionally, I realize I have similar shoes or the “what was I thinking” moment hits me before buying the shoes. Of course, I’m not always consistent with this discipline. When it comes to my heel addiction, theory is always better than practice. 😉 (more…)

The religious season of Lent for Roman Catholics is the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. It symbolizes the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert as Satan unsuccessfully tempted Him to forsake God. It is a beautiful story of humility and discipline. It is an encouraging story of the perseverance of good when confronted with evil. It is why Lent is a time of abstinence, repentance, and introspection. (more…)

2016 started off with a bang! Rather than sleeping in on the first day of the new year, we got up early for this photo shoot. To preserve as much daylight as possible, we didn’t venture too far out of the neighborhood. Instead we drove to my dad’s office in Alexandria, VA. Founded in 1749, the city has been a prominent witness of history since its founding. I highly recommend a walking tour of Alexandria if you’re ever in the area. (more…)

The majority of people I interact with on this blog are quite genuine and supportive. Sometimes, though, motives can be deceiving and sometimes, things aren’t always as they seem. A few weeks ago, someone named Nan Goldin contacted me.

The girly-girl in me could not resist purchasing these super classy and cute stiletto heels with a bow adorning the ankle strap. It is a subtle bow, but it makes these pointed toe heels quite unique, in my opinion. If you’ve been following my blog, you know I have narrow heels which makes wearing traditional pumps a challenge because my heels keep popping out of the shoe! So, I tend to buy pumps with ankle straps. Now, imagine my excitement when I saw these beauties online at White House Black Market about a year or so ago. I was so thrilled about finding black pumps that were not boring, but had an understated flair! (more…)

Is it just me, or does it feel like time accelerates with every passing year? As a kid, Christmas could never get here fast enough. Now, as an adult, Christmas arrives and leaves in a blink of an eye. My oldest Godson, Andrew, is 7. I’ve shared 8 joyous Christmases with him. My grandmother, Carolyn, passed away in 2000. I’ve spent 16 Christmases without her. I used to wish I could go back to the 90s when my departed loved ones were still here. Yet, today I could not imagine life without my Godsons, niece, and young cousins. (more…)

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…)
