DCist Exposed Photo Exhibit = DC Love
I attended the DCist exposed photography exhibit opening party last night. It was pretty illustrious. The ambiance was hipsteresque, which I LOVED. The exhibit features a collection of photos by DC locals. All photos pertain to DC and they are quite marvelous. It was nice to see captured instances from all over DC. The event itself was great – lots of people, drinks, and great music (the DJ was...

City girls take cabs to the 9:30 Club...
…to see St. Vincent perform. Last night’s show in DC was mind-blowing. Picture an enchanting voice, “gnarly” guitar, violins, wicked drum beats… ok, and a bottle of Chimay to augment this remarkable sensory experience. If my memory doesn’t fail me, this is the first show I attend in 2010, and what a wonderful way to start.

Spring Styles - Military
This spring, designers are embracing military-style. Its hard to catch a spring/summer fashion show this season that doesn’t pay homage to that military-school-style. My favorite piece so far is a Marc Jacobs Olive Techno Twill Jacket, but here are some other pieces I am loving:
This Comme Des Garcons jacket is amazing!
I also adore this Max Mara skirt.
Of course, if you cant afford to...

Desperately Seeking THAT Dupont bookstore...
Oh no! I entered a charming little second-hand bookstore in Dupont as I was walking home yesterday. I paid cash and threw away my receipt so now I don’t know the name of that bookstore. I wanted to tell you how fabulous it was, but all I can say is that it’s a fairly new store somewhere on Connecticut Avenue. I’m so bad with directions, I can’t even describe where I...

Rouge Coco de Chanel et Vanessa Paradis
I was seriously doubting Chanel’s taste when they ordained Lily Allen the face of the Cocoon. Don’t get me wrong, I like Allen’s music, but I don’t exactly see her as the “Face of Chanel.”
Thankfully, my faith is restored…Chanel chose Vanessa Paradis (pictured above) to represent Chanel’s new lip color collection, Rouge Coco. I think it’s a...

A city girl's #snomageddon survival kit
Last night I was at the Phillips Collection for Phillips After 5. I was sipping on my glass of wine, then champagne, when one of my friends abruptly interjected with “WE HAVE TO GO! We need groceries…24 inches of snow!” Following her lead, I ran over to the store and put together a survival kit. I thought I’d share it with you, and if you haven’t gone shopping for...

Kemp Muhl…possibly the coolest chic on the planet!
So this 21 year-old Elite model, Kemp Muhl, isn’t just a pretty face.
I want to kneel and praise her…seriously. She is a young little musical genius. She plays various instruments, and together with her boyfriend, Sean Lennon, she’s making awesome music that is eclectic and folky. She describes her music as a mix of jazz, pop, and rock. She grew up composing her own little melodies on the...

City girls take cabs to Pepper Pastor's salon.
When I visit New York next month I will be sure to check out Pepper Pastor Salon. Pastor’s decor is fantastical, and she describes it as “Coco Chanel meets Tim Burton.” This is a three-chair salon, so you can imagine the kind of pampering and specialized attention that goes on in there. Pastor is also an amazing and recognized hair stylist, and she’s been all over tv,...

A Perfect FriDay
I think we all love Fridays. It’s the last day of the workweek and it marks the beginning of the weekend. This Friday was particularly delightful for me for several reasons.
First, I awakened to delicious French Roasted coffee and Bebel Gilberto music in preparation for my morning regimen. I then hopped into my car and listened to Hot Chip’s new album, and I probably hit replay on Take It In...
