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.

La Petite Marmoset Holiday Lookbook 2011 Video

The official La Petite Marmoset Holiday Lookbook 2011 video was shot and edited by the talented Caroline Lacey. This video is the product of a concept dreamed up by Katherine and the ladies of Spicy Candy DC, and a perfect complement to the pictures we took. With so many locations, models and wardrobe changes to account for, plus an always-in-the-way TPWP photographer, we find it wondrous that Caroline so magically documented the lookbook’s moments. Enjoy.

Models: Morgan Mayes, Tamika Wilkins, Emma Jade, Mansi Mehta, and William Jovel
