Holly Thomas of Refinery 29 Washington DC asked me about my New Year’s resolutions - one of them was to host more dinner parties using recipes from America’s Test Kitchen. My recent favorite is for Shu Mai (steamed chinese dumplings) - see the video of how it’s done.

Holiday Gift Guide with Refinery 29
A month ago we collaborated with Holly Thomas to write and photograph a holiday gift guide for Refinery 29. The concept was to document a day of shopping in Georgetown and U Street/14th Street NW. The guide includes some of our picks from the stores we visited and our recommendations from the food and drink establishments we pit-stopped at in order to recover from running all over NW DC.

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:
