CapFABB Meet-up at Madewell

Another successful bloggers event set the Georgetown Madewell in a frenzy. The store was packed with the finest DC fashionistas and fine fellows. The question if DC has style has been answered.  Now, if only they could flash a little more swagger and let it permeate to all innocent bystanders. Everyone would benefit from that interaction. 

These high waisted hot pants paired with cropped tops worn by Mila and Fire made heads turn! 

The color blocking happening here is on point. Even the subtle purple frames matched perfectly. 

Franky J was rocking some stellar accessories. 

Co-founder of CapFabb, Lacey and Alina from The Hyperbalist share some love. This loud, floral suit is shouting, "Love me" and I do. Freaking awesome vintage Moschino belt! My heart is beating a little faster. 

A stunning gold-painted basket purse.

This vintage, sparkly, sequenced jacket caught my attention and had me drooling. 

A Cathedral and a Rooftop

The rain nearly ruined this rooftop shoot. Gwynne and I took advantage of the surprising sunshine and warm weather that followed the dreary rain. This 55 degree January day had me confused about winter. It seems she's clarified any confusion over the weekend though,  it's freezing! Winter has me hibernating and slightly depressed. Spring must come soon for my sanity. It's killing my social life. I rarely leave my house besides work.  

So, the rooftop and the National Cathedral. Well, about a month ago I realized I have unauthorized access to the roof. How fortunate that one of the keys opens the door. With the cathedral directly across the street, this location seemed rather perfect for a photo shoot. Gwynne, a fellow blogger and jewelry maker, joined me and, boy, was it a blast. She also brought me a funky, recycled earring she made! Of course, I wore it.  We gave our best posh looks, but couldn't help laughing at our, well, my, failed attempts. And the shadows, well, that was plain  fun.

Alexa Chung

Not the best picture, I know. Alexa Chung was a guest at Georgetown's Madewell to launch her new partnership. This photo was taken just as she was leaving. In an effort to make it on time, I managed to ruin my silk pants; and was extremely late.  Note to self: Do not wear silk and ride your bike.
