CapFABB 1 Year Anniversary Celebration

Life without CapFABB in Washington DC is a distant memory. The one year anniversary party was a surprise because it felt like so much time had passed since we attended our first CapFABB event. I suppose DC style is now aging in dog years: as a group we have come light years from where we were just one year ago and CapFABB deserves considerable credit.

This event, sponsored by flower service H.BLOOM, and hosted by Cities Restaurant & Lounge was the most enjoyable event to datefas. Much of the fun should be attributed to the lethal (to fashion bloggers) combination of excellent cocktails, a make-your-own-arrangement flower bar, and a photo booth with instant print photos. Happy anniversary CapFABB!

CapFABB Meetup at Madewell

Being a fashion blogger can be a lonely and discouraging hobby. You take pictures of yourself, agonize over logos, social media, etc and then wonder if anyone is actually reading. Unless you live in or near DC… Then you have CapFABB, where you can attend one meetup and suddenly have 50 like-minded friends.

While we have attended enough of these to know many of the attendees, we always find a surprise at each event. Elizabeth and Lacey do a great job organizing these events and everyone else does a great job of being social and supportive. This time was no different.

A day with Spicy Candy DC & Alejandra in Old Town Alexandria

This past weekend we met up with the girls of Spicy Candy DC and Alejandra to work on a currently secret project. Naturally when you combine this many bloggers together you get numerous impromptu street style photo shoots. Sadly TPWP’s own Carla did not get the memo that she needed to wear something red. Otherwise it was a very successful outing!

A closeup of the shoe situation, wait weren’t Alejandra’s feet cold?

Refinery 29 Washington DC Launch party at Madewell

It’s been a transformative year for Washington DC’s creative side - this week we added another notch to our belt with the launch of the Refinery 29 DC edition led by no other than the uber stylish and creative Holly Thomas. DC’s most fashionable and friendly crowd gathered tonight for the official launch party at Madewell in Georgetown. A friend and I looked at each other marveling at all the fashionable attendees passing by and asked “are we really in DC?.” Alas we were, and are so excited to be at the forefront of its transformation. 

Here are a few of our pictures from the evening:

Sai of Because I’m Fabulous. Feathers are becoming a trend and they looked great on her:

We love Alejandra’s skirt and shoes:

But her hair stole the show:

A great combination of an animal print skirt and slouchy boots:

A Washington DC fashion party is not a success unless these girls show up:

We are so happy that Holly is the Washington DC editor for Refinery 29; the perfect person for the job:
