Loving the Local Fashionistas

People are always asking me how they can keep up with the latest styles.  One of my favorite ways to keep up is by following fashion bloggers.  Their style is more realistic, and often more affordable, than what you see in magazines and fashion bloggers have really become the trendsetters: they're coming up with creative new ways to wear things and the fashion world is following them.  Lately, I've discovered  several fabulous fashion bloggers right here in the DC area and I'm loving checking in with their daily outfits!

Here are three of my new favorites that I've been keeping up with:

District of Chic

Shopping the Summer Sales

It’s that time of year.  We’re in the home stretch of summer and it’s time to start thinking about fall fashion but you’re current wardrobe seems to be wilting in the late summer heat wave and we still have at least a month to go before things start to cool off.  It’s a great time to shop the end of summer sales for a few pick me ups to get you through the next month.  Now that it’s August, any summer items left in stores are on deep discounts.  Here are a few things I have my eye on.  Where have you found the best end of season deals?
