Happy Black Friday Week!

Tis the week to shop. I’ve never made a secret of hating the whole Black Friday phenomenon. Most of the advertised “door buster” sales are pretty impossible to get and the deals are never worth the crowds to me.  However, the maturation of online shopping has changed everything.

It all started at the Washingtonian Magazine Style Setters event. First, I noticed that a lot of girls had on super fabulous statement necklaces, the most fabulous of which was the one on Megan Pollard. I was a bit intimidated to approach her about her fab necklace, but I needn’t have been. Not only was she super sweet and flattered that I loved her necklace so much, but I discovered that she is a mother of two and a partner in Events In The City, a special events planning and design firm in the Washington, DC metropolitan area (see picture below). …

Wrap Yourself in Luxury and Comfort this Season

Autumn is the adjustment period–it’s not winter, so you don’t have to commit to bundling up just yet, but you still want to be cozy in the crisp air. Luckily, this fall’s trends let you feel cozy while looking fabulous. I am in love with the textures and shapes of this season!
