ISO Style: Orla Kiely Bags

Emily asks where she can find Orla Kiely bags in the DC area. "I saw them in Fredericksburg a month or two ago, and am now shooting myself in the foot for not picking one up," she writes.

Emily, you're in luck. The UK-based firm, which does clothing, bags, accessies, and home design with an eye on All Things Graphic, sells their wares at a couple of DC-area boutiques:

Hysteria

125 South Fairfax Street, Alexandria

Betsy Fisher

1224 Connecticut Ave NW, DC

Tabletop

1608 20th Street NW, DC

And, while I strongly support purchasing from local boutiques, you can also hit the Anthropologie in Georgetown.

Just save one for me.

Shop in Style: Masonic Sale?

I've always wanted to see the George Washington Masonic Memorial. (I'm a big geek and am fascinated by stuff like that. Plus, I would like to see the building that finally made me realize my sister and I had gone waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too far around the Beltway - when we were supposed to be going on 95N from Silver Spring.)

Now I have an excuse.
