It’s Friday!!! Yay! Why is it that short weeks always seem so long?? One of my favorite things about summer – sitting outside with friends sipping on a summer cocktail. That’s why t...
If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I’ve been a bit obsessed with the red carpet as of late – The Cannes red carpet (or the seaside, palm tree photocall wall) to be specific. As ...
Last evening I attended the Fashion Group International of Greater Washington, D.C.’s fall/winter 2012 Ready-to-Wear preview at Bo Concept in G-town. If you recall, I attended and wrote about a...
For those of you who don’t know the reference, Back to the Beach is a Hargrove family favorite! “Do you want me to conjucate that for you, Pop? Do you even know what conjugate means, Dad?...
I can’t believe it’s already resort season again! I’m barely able to wrap my head around the fact that it’s summer time this year. It seems like just yesterday I was posting o...
This is going to be a long one so buckle in! You would think by now I’d have learned not to double book myself on a school night, but no. Apparently, I’m a little slow. Last night’s...
I know the whole “no white before Memorial Day” rule isn’t a rule anymore. White works all year ’round now – rules be damned, but I still think of Memorial Day as the st...
I know it’s only Tuesday, but I’m already dreaming of the 3-day weekend looming ahead. I am looking forward to a much needed stay-cation, getting stuff done around the apartment and just ...
So, Capital Style turned 1…like 2 weeks ago. I MISSED MY OWN BLOG BIRTHDAY!!! I knew it was coming up, but swore the blogiversary was May 26. Nope, turns out it was May 6. Time really does fly ...
The 65th Cannes Film Festival got underway this week. The week-long event brings together celebrities and stars of the silver from all over the world, which in turn, means we get a whole lotta glamou...
Today is a bit of a cheat day (like – if this blog was a diet, this post would be a brownie). I’m piggy backing off a really cool series fellow blogger, Haley, is doing over on her blog &...
I don’t know how it was where you live, but yesterday in the DMV was awfully humid. It was the kind of day that comes along every spring that prompts me to ponder – should I just get read...
I’ve been neglecting my “sounding off” series for the last few weeks, but today I’m back with a vengeance. I try to keep things light and positive on the blog, but today, I’m going to rant a bi...
Time for another designer/mass market collaboration. Calvin Klein for Macy’s by Francisco Costa launches tomorrow, May, 15, 2012. (Photo: HuffingtonPost.com) There isn’t too much of a wow...
It’s Friday! Yay, yay, yaaaaaay!! You know what I like as much as Fridays? Splurging on things I don’t really need, but really, really want. I’m a firm believer in retail therapy. Y...
I noticed I’ve been on a bit of a “what to wear to work” kick recently (e.g. intern post & pants post). I’m pretty sure this is in large part because I’m back in an ...
This past Saturday, my friend, Tracy V., and I had plans to work out together. This plan was upended by about 11am and replaced with brunch, helping her accessorize her dress for the wedding we’...
I’m constantly preaching about wearing color and I wanted to show you that I put my money where my mouth is, or I put my pants where, er, uh ok so that doesn’t really work. The point is, ...
Happy Monday! I don’t know about you, but I had a crazy-busy weekend. I have lots to share with you all this week, so I guess I should get to it. Friday night I attended Luxe Lifestyle’s ...
I’m back with another Friday Favorites and today, we’re going for locale fare – my favorite local boutiques. Sorry to those of you not in the DMV, but even if you can’t check ...
I must admit, for the most part, when I think of the Home Shopping Network, I think of insomniacs flipping through the channels late at night or little old ladies buying porcelain dolls, commemorativ...
I know most of my readers are beyond their summer intern years, but I’m writing this post as sort of a PSA in case you are a (or know a) young woman heading off to the corporate/political/busin...
Hey all, so I realize this is a repeat for some of you, but between a few technical difficulties (my computer hates me) and sheer exhaustion from my weekend exertions, well…I hope you understan...
I just got back from a weekend road trip to Cleveland for my friends’ wedding. Funny thing – while the bride and groom are D.C. friends, and everyone I knew at the wedding lives in DC/Vir...
A few weeks ago I went bridesmaid dress shopping with my friend Tracy. Our mission – find a navy blue bridesmaid dress for her to wear in our friends’ wedding in May. That’s it. No other instru...
Today is the day! It’s the grand opening of T.J. Maxx’s 100oth store & it’s ours!! The Maxx has come to the District - downtown Metro Center on F street bewteen 12th & 13th ...
So, today is another one of those posts where I talk a lot about a random topic. I’m just going to lay it on the table. I think I am at the beginning of what is sure to be a very long & drawn out...
Morning, Happy Readers! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that this Monday morning isn’t being too unkind. Mine went by too fast, but overall, it was quite delightful. I spent Saturday at...
Today’s Friday Favorites – online shops. Yes, tons of stores have online shopping, but these babies are only online. Ready, here we go. I’m sure no one is shocked that Asos makes my...
I was going to wait to post on today’s trend until we got a bit closer to summer. Then it was 90 degrees on Monday and I thought well, looks like we are skipping spring this year and heading ri...
