Nothin' fancy. Just an easy outfit for a Mother's Day picnic at Glen Echo with the fam. I remember coming here to ride on the amazing carrousel when I was a kid, but I hadn't been back in ages. Luckily it's hardly changed since then - it's so well-preserved that you feel like you're walking into a time warp.

I don't think I've been this excited about a pair of shoes in a while. Equally stunned by the fact that they're ASOS. Holy affordable, Batman.

I've told every little star

orange blazer and distressed denim

A.V. Max necklace, orange blazer, and distressed denim

Ok, so let's talk about denim again. Or maybe just wear this time...

This outfit was for B and my Saturday night anniversary dinner at Boqueria. Having spent the day bumbling around Virginia wineries, we weren't up for a super formal meal and it was kind of nice to just graze.

handsome hound

Barnabas the greyhound

District of Chic + Barnabas the greyhound

Barnabas the greyhound

Those of you who follow me on Instagram might have noticed a new four-legged addition to our little family. Since we were all matchy-matchy the other day (yes we are one step away from matching Christmas sweaters), I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you. Meet Barnabas the greyhound! He has a few blemishes here and there (a portion of his left ear is missing from some mystery accident and he has a Frankenweeniesque scar on his right hind leg from a career-ending racing injury), but B and I think he's pretty adorable nonetheless.

If any of you are considering adopting a dog, I definitely encourage you to take a look at greyhounds! They're very sweet and mild-mannered and, despite what you might think, big lazy couch potatoes that want nothing more than to lie around and look pretty all day! If you're in the DC area, check out Greyhound Welfare - they were extremely helpful throughout the entire adoption process and matched us with the prefect dog!
