District Closets: Q&A w Tammy of A Loyal Love

Tammy participated in last year's #DistrictClosts and we loved her pieces so much, we knew we had to invite her back this year. Every time I have an important business meeting, I always find myself checking out Tammy's blog for inspiration -- she is always effortlessly put together and we absolutely love it!

1. How would you describe your personal style?
Hashtag totes chic. Just kidding. I’m mostly drawn to classic, structured clothing that have an extra element of innovative design.

2. How does DC inspire your day-to-day style?
My office style was inspired the most. The number of pencil skirts and button-up blouses I own quadrupled after moving here. It's an easy combo for the office that allowed me to stay within DC's conservative boundaries but still play with color and patterns.

3. What are some of your favorite places to shop in the DC metro area?
Locally, I love visiting Anthom and She's Unique, but I spend a lot of time at Zara, H&M, Marshalls, and Nordstrom.

4. You have the closet that any fashionable girl would die for, what are your wardrobe staples?
A great jacket to layer with, big sunglasses, and a large carry-all bag that fits my camera and extra shoes. Right now for Fall, my go-to's are my black leather jacket I recently picked up from H&M, my Stella McCartney Flat Top Oversized Sunglasses, and a Zac Posen bag I recently snagged at Marshalls.

5. Can you give us little hints about what we can expect to see from your collection of pieces at District Closets?
You'll find some amazing designer brands like Giuseppe Zanotti and Marc Jacobs for close to 90% off and several coats to keep you warm all winter.

South Moon Under

When working on a project of this magnitude with a brand as big as South Moon Under, the release of the final product feels like a pretty big deal, well because it is! This is our second partnership with this growing East Coast retailer (you may remember this post of our first collaboration), and this time we wanted to take a more backseat role and let our beautiful, stylish DC blogger friends shine! We knew that Erika & Natalie (The Fashionably Broke) sisters as well as Tammy of A Loya Love would be the perfect choice to deliver a stellar performance in the Video Lookbook we had in mind. The concept of this video lookbook is three girlfriends who spent an entire day doing what girls do best - shopping (at South Moon Under of course), grabbing some coffee, and then having a fun girl's night out with dinner and dancing. The main focus of this video is to show the versatility of South Moon Under's merchandise. How easy it is to turn a day outfit into a night outfit by simply adding some fun accessories, or changing up the shoes. It was amazing to see the girls transform the looks with only a few basic pieces. Any girl on a budget would appreciate this type of versatility in their own wardrobes. Instead of doing a photo look book, we decided on video this time because with video you can actually capture feelings. You can see the fun moments, you watch the girls transform, it's exciting and it's fresh! Photos are always great, but this time we wanted to show something a little different. We wanted to focus on the girls, and their fun personalities -- something that could get lost in photos alone. We hope you love this video just as much as we do, and if you're in the DMV area, come join us tonight for the release party in Clarendon!
