Spicy Candy DC + South Moon Under Ocean City Lookbook Launch Party

So much work has gone into the Spicy Candy DC + South Moon Under Ocean City Look Book it’s hard to imagine the day of the launch party has now come and gone. We could not have possibly imagined a better turnout for the event. A line down the street formed before the doors were opened and clothes were flying off the racks all evening long. Helping the event’s cause was fashion polymath Dani Stahl (Nylon Style Editor-at-Large, Jewelry Designer, and TV star, etc). The energy and optimism at this event was palpable.  Thanks to everyone involved!

Spicy Candy DC / One Medical Brunch

We attended the Spicy Candy DC & One Medical networking brunch this past Sunday and were excited to see so many new faces and edgy style. Washington DC can be a preppy city, but not all style means dressing up; sometimes you just want to see some rock and roll mixed into your fashion.

This event was a huge success and highlighted One Medical who has an interesting take on primary health care. New to DC, they offer same-day doctor visits, online access to your records and an iPhone App. Worth investigating.

Our pictures from the event:

Carlis and Katya of Spicy Candy DC with DJ Loud Tone:

Melly of Adoralamoda - Really, anything is rock and roll when you are wearing sky-high Christian Louboutins:

Melly had a great ring:

We love the edginess of Megan’s style - the nose ring, worn orange leather bag and the low-rise cowboy style boots:

Especially mixed with a Cartier bracelet:

Ashley of La Petite Marmoset Vintage. Her dress really pops against her studded clutch:

Morgan of Day of Major looked fantastically chic:

Morgan’s amazing lucite bracelets:

Denisio of The Ravenous Creator with Krystin of Be Loud Be You. We have loved Krystin’s style since we met her last summer. It was great to finally meet Denisio in person, having admired her exceptional photography for some time:

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!
