Old Friends and Style Moments at The WW Club

Last night Kate Warren of Go Kate Shoot and Elise Peterson of It’s Vintage Darling threw a great party at The Water Street Project. Live music (salsa!), performances, and great drinks. We were delighted to see so many friends!

We missed Kimee’s style and were so happy to be reunited:

Camo is going to be huge in menswear - we love the not-so-subtle message of Quincy Jones’ shoes:

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:

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:

The always photogenic Stephanie:

Katherine snapping a photo. Much of what she is wearing is from her store, La Petite Marmoset Vintage:

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

Kimee is the stylist behind The Model is Wearing:

The striking Krystin of Be Loud Be You:

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

DC Fashion & Beauty Blogger Meetup at Nectar Skin Bar

Tonight we made our way to the monthly blogger meetup hosted by the ladies of CapFABB at the recently opened Nectar Skin Bar in Georgetown. The night felt so special for many reasons: we met many new bloggers, were pampered by Nectar’s team, gave away a backstage pass to the upcoming ReadysetDC Fashion:District runway show, but what excited us the most was witnessing such a large creative group come together in our own city of Washington DC. You had to be there to experience the fun, but we tried to capture some of it with our pictures:
