ladies, you can do better

so i heard there was a victoria secret sale going on...but really, aren't we getting a little old for the 5 for 25?

The Lake and Stars is the ultimate vision of feminism, beauty and vintage. it's time to grow up, start feeling sexy at ALL times, not just when you want to show off for your significant other. under that business suit, under those hipster cutoffs, under that New Years Eve gown...slip these on. guaranteed to make you walk taller, with a little more swivel ;)

where in the world is......bianca?

ok, i may not have been all over the world like carmen, but i did fall off the map.
fashion shows, photoshoots, travel...it catches up with you, you know? but im back and im better than ever. let's get this show on the road and pick up where we left off. there may be a lot of bloggers, stylists and know-it-alls in the world....but there's only one me. ;)

this time around i plan on including more of my personal work (in addition to my personal opinions, lol) and the work of my collegues so you can be the first ones to know about what we have in the works for you in dc.

dont forget to SUBSCRIBE and follow me on twitter - @dclittleblkblog !!! even if you dont have blogger doesnt meant you can't keep up.

Eco Emma

our little Hermione never ceases to please us with her continued success in the fashion realm. i don't know about you, but her Burberry ads were something to be reckoned with. now Emma has decided to move into the designer world. a very dainty entrance, but just enough to wet our palettes. she's teamed up with Alberta Ferretti on five simple pieces, perfect for summer. whimsical. romantic. green. no not the color...(come now people, i thought we knew what that word meant to us fashion folk by now). i'm talking eco-friendly. one of the most important segments of design these days. altho i would have to say that the clothes aren't really my style - too dainty for me - i applaud her efforts and look forward to more collaborations from her.



also check out Emma's thoughts about her new line on New Yooxer.


oh, and what do i think of Emma's new short hair? nothing short of brilliant.

pray for Japan, pay for Japan

in the wake of a devestating disaster, it is entirely up to us to help our fellow earth inhabitors. as the pitiful shopaholic that i am, i find it doubly satisfying to see my money benefiting me in more than one way. there's no excuse not to find some way to show your support for Japan. pretty much every designer and retail shop has been coming up with trinkets, tees and jewelry that will send portions (if not all) of the proceeds to the proper authorities. and trust me, with the cute stuff i've been seeing, how can you say no? so open your heart and your wallet without guilt. this one's a no-brainer.
