Roses by Leila Meachan

Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill

Anything by Mary Kay Andrews

3. Something you'd like to accomplish before the end of 2012?

peace, love, lots of laughter and joy EVERYDAY!

*and getting this posted before Sunday is technically over!

4. If you could go back and relive any year of your life which year would it be? 

In 2007 my Grampsie passed away in February and I met my husband in August. I would do anything to go back and have more time with my Grampsie, and there's nothing like falling in love!

5. What do you wish people knew about you without you having to tell them? 

Even though I may appear to be very outgoing I'm a very intimate person, from dinners to the number of friends that I consider to be close I have always and still do prefer to keep thing small. 

* I apologize for not adding pictures but as I mentioned I'm easing my way back into the blogging world, see #3 above :)

The Sunday Social - The 4th Edition

   What is your favorite store to shop at?

Nordstrom, it happens to be really convenient and they carry many of my favorites :) 

     If you could afford anything and everything, which designer

    brand would you covet? 

Chanel 

Must have closet staple?

A great nude heel

Favorite kind of shoes? 

I must give Mr. Stewart Weitzman some major credit, of all of the wonderful shoes I own, his tend to consistently be the most comfortable. I love, love, love any heel 4" and higher :)

Best clothing deal you've ever gotten? 

I have to admit I have never had incredible luck at finding wonderful things on sale, but I did fall madly head over heels in love with my Valentino coat and dress! 

Style you'd love to try?

I like to vary my style, somtimes I lean to boho chic other times I like to keep it simple and conservative. If there's a style I fancy I give it a go, that's the FUN of fashion!

Sassy, classy & colorful :) 

Much love,

Sunday Social Linkup!

One of the things I love most about blogging is discovering new blogs & people and getting to know a little about them and their interests. Link ups are a great way to do this and today I am pleased to announce that I will be linking up with the lovely ladies from A Complete Waste of Makeup & Ashley's Carnival Ride in their latest and greatest creation known as The Sunday Social!

How did you come up with your blog name?

To many Lady Elizabeth Grace may appear to be some silly moniker I came up with but it's actually a name with deep and personal meaning. 

Lady : My Grampsie was the most influential person in my life. He was a quiet gentle man,  whose voice still guides my life and whose virtues I strive to make proud. Our family lineage in England can be traced back to nobility and so "Lady" is my way of honoring my Grampsie, our family, and serves as a reminder to myself to always attempt to conduct myself as such.

Elizabeth: A family name as well as my middle name.

Grace: One of my favorite words, a lovely attribute to possess and one of my favorite names. I have a dear friend whose name is Grace who embodies and personifies not only grace, but style and elegance as well. She is one of the muses of Lady Elizabeth Grace. 

  

What is your favorite thing about blogging?

I love the creative outlet is has provided me. :)

What is one thing you have discovered because of blogging and now cant live without?

I take the majority of my photos for my blog with my iPhone, usually because it is the easiest and most accessible option at the time, and I love the apps Diptic & Instagram. I use both of them ALL of the time.  

Facebook or Twitter? 

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little surprised by my own answer but, Twitter. I've connected and stay in touch with some wonderful girls and fellow bloggers and we have a lot of fun.

If one celeb read your blog who would you want it to be?

 I just read this question and the first person to pop into my mind was Rachel Zoe. She has truly become the modern day fashion & style icon. 

What is something you want people to know about your blog?

My blog is truly an extension of who I am. A lot of people create blogs & are very focused on gaining followers, monetizing their blogs and really marketing themselves. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, but it's just not who I am or what this blog is about. For those of you that do interact with my blog I hope you connect with it, I hope you enjoy it & have fun. Please don't hesitate to leave comments, email me or connect with me on Facebook & Twitter. I really love hearing from and connecting with you! 

I hope you have enjoyed the 1st Sunday Social, and I hope you have a great day.

Love, 

* A special thanks to my friend Kelly at Mess.Dirty.Hair for introducing me to this wonderful linkup :)
