Shop in Style: About Town

Just a couple of goings on while I'm out of town (The Bean and I are visiting Grandmom & Pop-Pop in the country - she smelled her first pig manure this morning - exciting!, then meeting H down the shore - it's glorious not having a set work schedule - we'll talk abou the lack o' sleep and multiple rounds of "Old MacDonald" another time)

12 September: Unless you've been under a rock, you'll know that there are only 2 days left to the District Sample Sale.

15 September: H Street Festival Fashion Show

15 September: Ananas founder/designer, Jennifer Baum Lagdameo, appears at the Tyson's Cusp location

23-30 September: DC Fashion Week. Yup, we have one.

...and help a vacationing blogger out - if you check any of these events out, shoot me an email or post a comment...let us know how they were.

Shop in Style: Spring Suite from fEMME fETE

fEMME fETE founder & event hostess Dana Ayanna Greaves shared the scoop on one of DC's next big fashion events.

Friday Apri 27, and Saturday April 28, DC's streets will be filled with street fashion parades of "over-the-edge fashion and sweets" for the Candyland Crawl.

Then, Thursday, May 3, from 7:30-10:30, the Numark Gallery on E Street will come alive with fashion and sugar for the Spring Suite.

Admission is $28, which gets you access to work from designers Ananas, Ayanna (the hostess' own line), Marie Elanne, Passementerie, Gigi Favela, and Rachelle Celline. Shoe Box Oven will be handing over the sugar fix, along side of a D.I.Y. candy bar and a sugar scrub station (I'm still thrilled with the Perfect Organics one at the Devil after party oh, so long ago).
