It's been chilly here lately, so I had to bring back the hat and gloves. Which I don't mind of course, because they make the best accessories! It's been so hot here recently, I was starting to feel sad about not being able to wear spring clothes. Spring and fall are my favorites for dressing because there are so many more options to wear different layers.

Anyway, here we are near the Library of Congress on a rather windy day. Living in D.C., sometimes we forget (or maybe take for granted) what a pretty city it is and how many beautiful sites and buildings there are. One of my favorite things about having this blog is that we get to work on things like photography and explore different parts of the city :)

I've been wearing lots of bright colors recently and have grown a little tired of it. Sometimes going back to basic black can be refreshing. I'm also loving this new dark blackberry lipstick, by the way. It's different from the usual bright red or pale pink and goes great with basic black.

Hey everyone!

Don't forget to come check out Haute Heritage on the runway at Fashion for a Cure this Sunday in Washington, D.C.! All proceeds go to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help fund cancer research. It'll be hosted by the District's very own Paul Wharton of The CW's Paul Wharton Style. And looks like Refinery29 and The Washingtonian think it's where to be this weekend, too.

:)

If there's something DC is known for (other than politics) it has to be cherry blossoms. Every spring, tourists flock to the District to enjoy the new warm weather and dreamy, cloud-like trees. But just as quick as they come, they're gone. So if you didn't get a chance to see the blossoms this year, not to fear! Take a look at some of our pics here.

So excited to have The Style Matrix featured in The Washingtonian's awesome Shop Around blog today! See how you can wear the wedge sneaker trend along with pics of fellow blogger Eden @ Garden of Glam in the article here.

Personally, I'm grateful to Ms. Marant for creating such a fun and funky alternative to heels. But what do you think of the wedge sneaker trend?

Spring is in the air! And when it's so nice out, how can one help but want to spend every moment outdoors? We recently made a resolution to try as many new things as possible. This weekend we joined a friend at Andrews Air Force Base in Virginia for a few rounds at the driving range. Being married to an avid sports fan, it's important to find a way to keep up once in a while! :) Plus, getting to do these kinds of activities together is always a lot of fun. Even better when you can manage to get some cool-looking shots out of it to share with everyone.

I'm looking forward to sharing some shots of the cherry blossom festival taking place later this week. Keep checking back for more updates!

Hello lovelies!

After researching designs for years and not being able to find what we love, we decided to take matters into our own hands and design a collection worthy of our adoration.

Introducing the Haute Heritage Collection.

Haute Heritage combines the rich color and texture of traditional tribal designs found in South Asia and the Middle East with modern silhouettes and styles.

We just launched Haute Heritage's brand new Facebook page! There you can order many of the unique pieces I wear here on this blog as well as other lovely accessories and evening wear.

Check it out and stay tuned for updates on Haute Heritage's fashion show to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society later this month in the District!

It was a gorgeous weekend - it finally felt like spring for the first time! We celebrated by taking a lovely stroll down King Street in Old Town Alexandria, which is one of my favorite little neighborhoods around here. It has all these tiny cobblestone streets and old, colorful storefronts. Very quaint and beautiful!

I am loving wedge sneakers right now by the way. It gives me that extra 2 inches without the pain of heels. I've been wearing them everywhere lately. Yayy wedge sneakers!
