FNO Washington DC 2011 - the TPWP experience

The monsoon-like rain may have put a damper on some of the Fashion’s Night Out activities, but those that braved the precipitation found plenty of great deals and even more to dream about. Here is the photographic evidence of our mad rainy dash around the city:

I’m a big fan of the Brazilian line COVEN, and this blue structured dress from Hu’s Wear was gorgeous and under $200. Too bad someone had just bought my size!

FNO Washington DC 2011 - MidCity Edition

One of our favorite shopping destinations in Washington DC, the 14th & U St area is also participating in Fashion’s Night Out. Here is our list of participating stores with a suggested route:

1. Start your night at Redeem (from 6:30 to 10pm) - they are hosting local designer Mauro Farinelli who is offering made-to-measure shirt and suiting services from his line Wolf vs Goat. Also, see their latest fall styles from Kai-aakmann, Something Else, Feral Childe, Thvm Atelier, and Comune. Light fare provided by H Street’s Queen Vic.

2. Walk across the street for a glass of champagne and h’ours d’ouvres at Muléh. Shop the new fall collections by 3.1 Phillip Lim, Mulberry, Vivienne Westwood and others. They are also offering gift cards worth 15% off your purchase!

3. Climb the stairs to Rue 14 for your second glass of champagne and a style consultation by one of their experts.

4. Walk north, down the block, to our favorite vintage store in the city, Treasury (ends at 9pm), for another glass of champagne and in-store specials. (They will also be at Madewell’s pop-up shop in Georgetown).

5. Around the corner and west on U street, Lettie Gooch is hosting one of the most lively FNO Midcity events: “Catwalk Karaoke” - with cocktails, karaoke, refreshments and discounts.

6. A couple doors down stop in at Junction for vintage shopping with wine, snacks, deals, new fall merchandise and wardrobe consultations by celebrity stylist Victor Price (ends at 9pm).

7. Finish your evening at Dr. K’s Vintage with in-store specials and new merchandise (closes at 9pm).
