The Rise of the Crossbody Bag

The Rise of the Crossbody Bag

If you haven’t heard, we are living in a time where the crossbody handbag is king.   I purchased my first crossbody every-day bag in Summer of 2013.  It’s the Pauric Sweeney Overnight Python Bag.  I purchased it at a Second Time Around (consignment shop) […]

Etto

Etto

I went to Etto  (on 14th and Q St. NW) yesterday for the second time and the food was utterly amazing again.  I love it’s low-key demeanor-reminds of a quaint little restaurant I ate in Florence last summer near the Duomo there.  It’s Neapolitan-style pizza […]

The All White Look Came Early This Year

The All White Look Came Early This Year

This Spring is filled with fashion juxtapositions.  One the one hand, we’re seeing florescent lace trending while on the other we’re seeing a much more minimalist look.  You can’t get much more minimalist than white on white (on white).  Combine a white tank with a […]

A Whole Lotta Lace

This Spring 2014 brings a whole lot of  fun lace dresses and tops.  I was never really attracted to lace much before, but I felt naturally drawn to it for this coming season.  I bought a pretty little Carolina Herrera navy 50s style cocktail dress […]
