SCDC: How to Wear Culottes
on
Aug 10, 2015
Remember in the early 2000's, gauchos was the it thing to wear? Well they are trending again but under a different name, "Culottes". They are becoming the perfect pants this summer, with its flattering hemline, versatile shapes, and voluminous/wide leg bottom. A great look for women of any size!
There are many ways to be stylish wearing these trouser trend. Take a look at how to wear for our everyday personal wardrobe.
Printed Culottes
Chose a pair of printed culottes to be the focal point. Go simple with a basic color crop top (silk top would be perfect) and since we wear heels for any other occasion, do the same with your culottes. Pull everything together with a few accessories; layered rings, silver studs, and layered necklace. So when you're going to a fancy party, you are comfortable and fabulous.
Black Culottes
Try an elegant but bold look by coordinating black culottes with a metallic top or you can go sleeveless with the long layered look. This will keep the outfit from being boring. Accessories should be light, play it off with silver hoop earrings, cuff bracelets, and simple watch (don't go overboard). Since this pair stops just below the calf, wearing GX Colorblock Cutout Sandal will add some height, to balance out the volume. Skip the heavy bags and carry a sleek clutch.
Denim Culottes
Team a denim pair to bring a little edge to the look. Set it off with a button up crop top or a sleeveless slim fit shirt. I'm really feeling this combo with the pastel pink and pop of red. Add strappy heels for a chic look for summer parties. Other details you can add to your chic outfit; stacked chunky bracelets, bold hoop earrings, and layered rings.
Reminder: Crop tops are a great look when wearing culottes.

Once we had all finished, we parted ways to gather up our make up bags, shoes, spanks and rented gowns from Rent the Runway dresses and reconvened at Lacey's place to get ready. One of the only things I miss about dorm life is the fun of getting ready with all your girls around to help you with final touches and to make sure your eye make up is even! Once we had all gotten pretty and digitally documented it, it was time to head out.

DJ Schemes was on the turn tables giving us something to dance to while we enjoyed tasty bites and endless champagne. We laughed, drank and danced the night away. At midnight we all toasted and cheered and vowed to make 2015 our best year yet!! Cheers and I hope it's a great year of each of you as well!

Friday Night LIVE Package at The Renaissance Hotel
on
Dec 12, 2014
I can't believe it's December already and with that comes our brand new mini lookbook. This time we wanted to feature our currently favorite hotel package deal in DC, The Friday Night Live at The Renaissance in DuPont Circle. A few weeks ago we had the pleasure to experience it first hand and absolutely loved it beginning to end.
We arrived at the hotel on Friday around 5PM and immediately noticed the hotel's welcoming aura and chic lobby decor. It was also wonderful to be attended by knowledgeable and friendly front desk staff who made sure our checkin was quick and easy. Eager to get our night stated we rushed to our room and were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with some bubbly and chocolate covered strawberries. Now that's what we call a proper welcome! After unwinding for about an hour and enjoying a little down time, we were ready for dinner at the Westend Bistro (about a block away from the hotel). We met a few of our friends there for a 7 course dinner - an experience we are all still raving about today! It was seriously one of the best tasting dinners we have ever had. Every course and wine pairing was absolutely perfect and left us craving more. We can not wait to go back for more of their signature tuna carpaccio (our favorite) and all the other deliciousness we experienced during the tasting.

Q&A with Jewelry Designer Amanda Hagerman + Giveaway!
on
Nov 11, 2014
Today we are excited to introduce you to one of our new favorite local jewelry designers Amanda Hagerman and two of our favorite pieces in the collection.
Personally, one thing I always look for when purchasing jewelry is for it to be timeless. I often question wether I would wear the piece in a few years from now, or would it even make a great gift to pass down to my future daughter (if I'm ever lucky to have one). Amanda's line definitely has this timeless feel and the little details make each design unique and special. The necklace I'm wearing in this post has a hand drawn etched design that says "Don't Worry, Be Happy" written through shooting arrows.... how beautiful is that?
With Shop Small Saturday coming up we want to encourage our readers to shop small and support local, talented artists like Amanda. We hope you enjoy getting to know her a little more through this little Q&A and make sure to enter the give away in this post for a chance to win the beautiful Happy necklace and Taura ring set!

Q&A w Amanda Hagerman
1. What is your inspiration for this particular collection?
The jewelry I craft is influenced by current and classic fashion trends, as well as various elements of nature. I create what I wish existed, imparting upon each design my own personal flare for aesthetics and attention to detail. It is my intent to offer unique and trendy adornments that woman have fun wearing. There is no greater joy for me as an artist, than to make someone happy because they are wearing one of my designs.
2. How long have you been designing jewelry?
I got the itch to design and create jewelry in high school after I took a jewelry making class with one of my high school art teachers who is also a goldsmith. It was then I discovered I could focus my love for art and passion for working with my hands on creating unique jewelry for people to wear. I have been designing and making jewelry ever since. I graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2008 with a B.S. in Art Education and a B.F.A. in Fine Metals. Since 2008 I have been teaching high school art in Harwood, MD, which caused me to put my jewelry making on the back burner for a bit. About a year and a half ago, I obtained a studio space which allowed me to fully pursue my jewelry making ambitions. Amanda Hagerman Jewelry came soon after. I’m thrilled to be designing and making jewelry again and look forward to adorning women everywhere for many years to come!
3. Can you give us details of what each item that we are featuring today is made of?
The necklace: Solid brass and a 2" Lemurian Seed Quartz Point (from Brazil)
The Rings: Solid brass and a 4mm fresh water cultured pearl--
