The Next Chapter

1. Above is a phrase I have been holding close lately that I thought I should share with more then just my Pinterest board followers.

2. Speaking of Pinterest, I now have over 1000 followers! I am still kind of in shock. Come pin with me here!

3. I am currently featured on JulipMade’s ‘If Bloggers Ruled the World’ series and am chatting a bit about what would happen if I ruled the world (insert evil laugh here). Such a fun interview and would love for you to hop over and check it out!

4. I have been really starting to build up my {A Little Something Extra} Facebook Album with photos that didn’t quite make the cut for my outfit posts. Thank you so much to everyone who has been liking and commenting on the pics – I will definitely be keeping this album up! Also, if you haven’t already, come on over and like A Lacey Perspective on Facebook for extras galore! :)

5. Lastly, a big thank you, again, to the always lovely Alison, Sarah, Devon and Tammy for blog-sitting for me this past week while I was on vacation.

Have an absolutely fabulous weekend and Happy Mother’s day to you and yours (and, of course, mine… HI MOM!).

xoxo,
Lacey

Road Trip

Watching me pack and not liking it.

On our way to NoLa from Houston. I love road trips.

Toes on the dashboard and a clear sky.

Lots of goodies for the bachelorette to wear.

Dressing up and making new friends before the night out on Bourbon Street.

Heading back to Texas – exhausted and ready for some Texas BBQ.

Giving a messy milkmaid braid look a shot for the flight home. For my first time I was pretty impressed with myself. Expect to see more of this look this summer – it is the perfect updo to get your hair off your neck in a flash.

I had an absolutely fabulous time seeing family and friends in Texas and road tripping to New Orleans for a short trip. The vacation was fantastic, and so needed, but I am also glad to be back. There is nothing better then sleeping in your bed for the first time after a long trip.

Lastly, a big thank you to the always lovely Alison, Sarah, Devon and Tammy for blog-sitting for me this past week. They are true inspirations to me and I hope you all loved them as much as I do.

XOXO
Lacey :)

Pretty in Pink

Hi lovely, ALP readers! I’m so excited and flattered that Lacey asked me to spend the day with you!! (Lacey – We miss you and hope you’re having a blast in Texas and NOLA!)

For me, Spring signals two obvious things: color and florals. So in this subtle nod to the 40s, I’ve combined both the monochromatic and the floral trend to create a fun and feminine look for Spring. I love this look because it’s sophisticated enough for the office and comfortable enough to wear to brunch with friends. As a working Washingtonian with limited closet space, it’s so important for me to choose pieces that are not only professional but versatile.

Want to recreate the this look? Check out my personal style blog, a Loyal Love, and the pieces below for more inspiration.

 

 <silky blouse, floral skirt, cap-toe pumps, mini-bowler bag, watch, bangles, cocktail ring >

 

Thanks for having me ! Hope y’all have a wonderful day!

-Tammy

The Short Suit

Well hello there! I’m Devon from Devon Rachel and I’m beyond thrilled to be filling in for Lacey!

First of all, I’d like to thank my beautiful and ever-so-stylish blogger friend, Lacey, for inviting me to guest post on her fab blog, A Lacey Perspective. I’m such a huge fan of her work! Speaking of work, I’d like to talk suits with you guys.

I know what you’re thinking. Suits? Ew. Boring. Business. Stuffy. Ugly.

I’m here to tell you how WRONG that impression can be. I spotted the ‘Short Suit’ idea/trend in a magazine a few months back and have been dying for the weather to warm up so I can try out this trend! The best part? You don’t have to buy matching pieces! This makeshift suit is simply a Forever 21 black blazer and my favorite NY&Co trouser like black shorts. I added a fun purple top to spice it up and decrease the stuffy-ness. I love the way this outfit can add a level of ‘chic’ to any fashionista. Insta-chic ensembles are a must for us all. Especially when they are as easily put together as this! I highly suggest throwing on that mix-matched pair of shorts & blazer you’ve been dying to wear separately.Why not rock this rocker business look? I hope I’ve inspired you to step out of that comfort zone and suit it up!

The only rule? The shorts shouldn’t show your cheeks. Butt cheeks aren’t chic. Remember that.

XO,
Devon
