Above is a quote that has really been hitting home lately that I felt I needed to share with you all. Always remember that you are stronger than you think, and that those years of struggle make you even stronger.

I can’t get enough of stripes, white nail polish or my short hair in messy waves theses days. My shorter hair is finally growing on me and I feel like it gives old pieces in my closet a whole new look.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Have a fabulous weekend, loves!

Let’s all say hello to no makeup, no heels (this shorty does not like to be heel-less) and freckle-faced Lacey!
Reality of my many freckles aside, I have been asked constantly how I got in shape for my wedding day… and my answer was always yoga. As a former dancer who had to stop dancing due to a knee in jury, yoga has been the only place that my body can have a good, hard workout without limping in pain afterwards.
Before I got married I would have to trek through the cold and snow to get to my classes, but now that it is summer I love heading to the outdoor yoga classes in the various parks in DC. Talk about a heated yoga class!
Now that we are heading into bikini season I cannot stop my routine now. So I shoot for 2-3 classes a week (a lighter version of before my wedding day). What is your workout routine?
xoxo
Lacey

Who needs a Wednesday Wish List when you have an outfit post ready to go full of my favorites? A bold-colored maxi dress, my trusty panama hat, a killer Rachel Roy piece and my all-time fave wine bar in DC (Veritas) is all a girl needs for the perfect DC summer evening.
When the Rachel Roy team asked me to list my 5 favorite places in DC, and style one of her fabulous pieces, I was thrilled. Also, being named one of Rachel’s ‘Fave Bloggers’ is pretty amazing too (pinch me)!
Find out my other 4 favorite places in DC (hint hint: one involves cocktails and a view of the White House), and the 5 faves of 3 other amazing bloggers from TX & CA, by clicking on the picture below.

I am kind of loving this olive green and raspberry color combo.

Dress {c/o Donna Morgan} | Heels {Parbal x Target} my next printed heel | Clutch {c/o Gigee Marie} | Necklace {Ottaviani Bijoux c/o TJMaxx} similar | Silver/Gold Bracelet {Yurman} | Rings {ASOS} | Sunnies {Stella McCartney} | Lipstick {NARS – Schiap}
Taking this yummy yellow dress from my desk to drinks was a synch. To keep warm in my chilly office I tossed on my distressed denim jacket and grabbed my go-to carry-all Phillip Lim bag to help carry my pieces to change for drinks.
To stroll through the golden hour to head to happy hour I tossed on a sparkly statement necklace and swapped my bag for something with a bit of punch and my shoes for something a bit more fun. One last tiny detail is that I remove my watch when I head to cocktails. Call me old-fashioned but I think a watch is meant for the day, when you are needing to keep track of time. But when it is time to kick back and have a martini or four, I say opt for a more delicate looking wrist party and remove the oversized watch.
Lastly, thank you all so so much for all of the love regarding my 8 inch post-wedding hair chop! Speaking of wedding, today is exactly one month since I got married! Wow, time really does fly when you are having fun. Cannot wait to share my wedding pics with you all!

I have worn this dress at least a dozen times and have yet to share it on the blog. This surprised me because I constantly reach for it when I have a work event or cocktail party. I mean… nude faux leather dress for spring? Yes, please!
Sometimes I like to add pops of color, or bold accessories, to add some pizzaz to the dress but my favorite way to wear it is shades of nude from head to toe.
I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and, oh… I chopped off 8 inches of my hair. ;)
xoxo

You know that feeling you get when you are at the top of a roller-coaster and you are anticipating the big drop everyone has been telling you about? You know it is coming up, as the car ticks its way up to the top, and your stomach is in knots? Yes, that is how it feels right before your wedding weekend begins.
When the roller-coaster car tips over the hill you get that rush of adrenaline and are grinning from ear to ear while looking at the view and seeing the reaction of the people sitting around you. Yes, that is what the rehearsal dinner night is like. Everyone starts to show up that day that you may not have seen in months or years. You feel so overwhelmed with love you almost cry …which is truly the best feeling in the world, next to your actual wedding day, of course.
We had a rather large wedding party which made for a rather large rehearsal dinner but, in my opinion, that made it all the more fun! There was so much laughter and telling of old inside jokes there was barely a moment to acknowledge this was all happening. The third picture of this post was taken by a girlfriend of mine with the WeddingSnap App while J and I snuck away for a moment to take the night all in (best thing to do ever). I love this picture and I am the luckiest girl in the world to have such amazing people in my life.
The rehearsal itself to the dinner to the after party at a local sports bar was absolutely perfect.

Always a fan of anything girly I am itching to add new fun, summery skirts to my collection. I definitely think that candy striped pencil skirt will be my first addition.
