Content Creator & Marketing Consultant
Hi, I'm Lacey Faeh! Founder of A Lacey Perspective, a blog and boutique marketing firm based in Washington, DC. Since 2010 when I started my blog I have been passionate about sharing my style, beauty and travel tips and tricks.
A Letter From Lacey
I honestly don’t even know where to begin, but let’s begin with 2019.
My husband and I separated after being together for 12 years. We met when we were 20 years old and this man was my entire adult life and, what I thought was, the future father of my children. I truly thought my life was over. Little did I know it was just beginning, and that this marriage ending would be the best thing that ever happened to me.
I see ya’lls google searches…
My divorce was something I chose to keep very private, and will continue to keep the intimate details to myself, but needless to say it was the second hardest thing I had ever been through. Only second to losing my brother, Kevin. If it wasn’t for my “fam” (AKA my closest friends) I would not be able to be writing this with such strength and knowledge of the woman I am today. The divorce finalized just two weeks before the infamous COVID lockdown in March of 2020. What shocked me the most while going through this life-altering process were the people who I expected to be there for me unconditionally were nowhere to be found. Even with all the people I had around me it was very lonely.
Over the last two plus years I was not only battling what the rest of the world was battling, which was my mental health while COVID loomed over us all, but I was also facing an intrinsic battle. Who is Lacey? Something I’m not sure I ever truly had a grasp on.
Fast forward to today and I am currently single and loving life. I have been in love again, and had my heart broken again. And that’s ok. Each a lesson learned. I am currently in the best mental state I have ever been in in my entire life. But most importantly, I am confident in myself …and yes, even that self that comes with a UHaul full of baggage.
The content creator side of my business took a hit when I stopped sharing my life over the last couple of years, but the consulting side of my business is thriving. That is one of the many reasons why you see a shift here on alaceyprespective.com. Now let’s get to the changes you are seeing and why…
First of all, my blog, the baby I created in 2010 was hacked a year ago and they removed the majority of my 12 years of work. So I decided to start from scratch. I want this to be a place of reference for y’all so you can come here to find your FAQs in one place that I personally own and no other app controls.
…speaking of other apps.
My Instagram account, that has existed since the app began in 2010, was stollen Sunday, October 30th by hackers who continued to email me threats that if I didn’t pay them they would remove my 12 years of work and sell my images for profit. It was honestly a very scary time but also was the kick in the butt I needed to get my blog back up and running for y’all after such a long time away. I always thought, “Who would want to read my blog anymore after my divorce hiatus?” After lots of people pushing me and reassuring me this is a resource people miss I finally did it.
With my Instagram account restored (Shout out to my superheros and friends who happen to work at Meta, Anthea & Tracy. We love a good woman power moment.) after two weeks of anxiety, and my site ready to be viewed I wanted to just be honest with y’all about where I have been these past few years and why.
With all of that said, if you made it this far… thank you. I would not be here with this brand if it wasn’t for each and every one of you (yes, even the haters). If you don’t mind pretty please leave a comment below with what you want to see on the blog next (or old blog posts you want recreated).
ILY All,
Lacey

You were one of the first to help me mature this brand, and now to be able to do it on my own is because of you believing in me. xL

Thanks for sharing! Yes, please bring the blog back. Full stop! You should never feel pressured into sharing intimate and private details—I hate that for you and all others. I just appreciate the content.

Wow! Thank you so much for your support on IG and welcome to the blog! Bummed you can’t see the 12 years of work that was put into the old one but this one feels more “grown up” ALP. xoL
