While the Cartier event last night in Chevy Chase was fabulous as to be expected, and I couldn’t say no to Saks 5th Ave.’s “Spend Some, to Get Some” deal, I found the real treasures of the night at Fashion Fights Povery’s Beauty Night Out. The swag bags were unbelievable, but even more incredible were the designers themselves. Lauren Bailey of Bailey Handbags developed a line of handbags which reflects healthy living by utilizing the healing properties of magnets within her insignias as hardware. These therapeutic magnets mix with a stylish and practical design made from the softest leather. I’ll take one of each!!
Belabumbum lingerie and Maternity also presented at BNO and had the most deliciously bright pieces, simply delectable! They are a true coming home story, as the line first developed in DC and then they left but have recently returned to the city where their idea developed!
Last weekend my friend Roby hosted an event for Dakota Martin Designs. I
absolutely fell IN LOVE with their Dakota Martin Scarf Top. I bought two! The necklaces are interchangeable and great to wear with the scarf top or on their own, and one of the tops I bought was even reversible!!! A chic way to cover up but stay cool as the DC humidity bodes down on us this summer! The designers were as sweet as their tops, and had much to offer! You can purchase online or at these three DC locations:
Atelier Couture
3003 N Street, NW
Washington DC 20007
Maggie and Lola
1013 E Street, SE
Washington DC 20003
Sherman Pickey
1647 Wisconsin Ave.
Washington, DC 20007
After all of the events last night, I am spent… Time to make some $$ so I can spend it!
Enjoy a Fashionable Friday!

You must be one rich little bitch.
I love Kennedy. I bought that ipod thing she talked about last week. Thank you KK! Don’t listen to the haters.
I once saw KK on the street and she gave me a hello kiss. I feel bad because I never told her that I have herpes. I hope she’s ok now.
Air kisses, or real kisses?
Don’t let them get you down, hun.
Air kisses. I’m sure she’s safe. She’s hottttt in person.
I wish she’d buy ME stuff, though.
I once worked for a company that had a black-tie event similar to Fashion Fights Poverty. While being let into the event, my friend and I inadvertantly let in a homeless guy. We thought he was a janitor or something. Unintentional hilarity ensued when the people fighting poverty actually had to deal with a real-life impoverished person!!!
I love Dakota Martin! Check out the website - www.dakotamartin.com
