We love New York. Both of our parents are born and raised New Yorkers and we still have most of our family up there. One of my favorite times of year to go up there is during the holidays. The light displays and store windows are nothing short of amazing. This year we went up there the week after Christmas with our family and had SO much fun. My Dad grew up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan.…
Hair is funny isn’t it? We’re all a little more obsessed with it than we probably care to admit. We cut it, dye it, shave it, straighten it, curl it and everything in-between. Sometimes bad hair can set the mood for your whole day! So we set out looking for hair utopia and found it with Sassoon Salon and their new collection, aptly called “Utopia”! u·to·pi·a yo͞oˈtōpēə/ (noun) an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. …
Let’s be real, the cold sucks. I mean, who doesn’t prefer red lips to red noses? But if we’re looking at the cocoa mug half full, the cold is perfect for layering. That goes for accessories too! Not like layering 3 hats on top of each other, but making sure when you accessorize, your conscious of the season. I kept my love for floppy hats winter-ready with this one by BCBG. The brim is wider than average and it’s leather…

TheDistrictDarlings.com has gotten a huge facelift since when we first started our blog! We recently made the big move from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, so what better way to celebrate that and our new look than a (RE)LAUNCH PARTY with some of the local D.C. ladies and gents that we’ve met along the way. Nicole and I recently had brunch at Malmaison D.C. and we fell in love with the interior of their cafe, and it’s also right in Georgetown! We…
A versatile outfit can take you from 9-5 to 5-9 without much effort. With a few steps, you can make the transition seamlessly and therefore get more wear out of your look. And all things considered, don’t we all want to get the most out of our investments (including investment pieces)? For example, I transitioned this Bowie sweatshirt from Zara, leather athletic shorts and Doc Martens from day to night. My friend recently came to visit from Virginia Beach and…
Can you believe it’s time to get holiday ready?! Yea, neither can I. This time of year is all about furs, sequins and the latest trends – velvet and metallics. I’m so ready to style these trends for the upcoming holiday season and share how to pair some bold textures! Furs and Sequins Sequins in the day time can be tough to pull off. Be confident! “Skirt the Rules” as the Kate Spade shirt says and cross the lines…
Take it from a Washingtonian, you can take your blazer from The Hill to the street with relative ease. They’ve gone beyond business professional and make a perfect pairing for Fall street style. Don’t get me wrong, you of course can still wear it with slacks and go into the office. But when 5 o’clock rolls around trade your stress for distressed {jeans} and head to the local watering hole. Each of the blazers from this post I got…
For this year’s summer vacation, The District Darlings take Charleston!! We had the privilege of working with the Charleston Tourism Board who planned our stay with the city’s top to-do’s. We’ve visited areas of South Carolina on vacations before, but Charleston was a city like no other so I was excited to dive into the action (and food) packed vacay. WHERE WE STAYED On our first day, we checked into one of Charleston’s top hotels, The Belmond, which is equip…
