When publications ask me for an example of true DC style, I always mention Elizabeth Pendergrass at District of Chic. Our lovely city is often blasted for having no style and being a sea of ill-fitting navy skirtsuits and white sneakers, but in fact, we are a city who knows style and appreciates quality. Elizabeth… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Interview with Elizabeth Pendergrass of District of Chic
Oh the tangled web blogs weave. Visit a blog and click on the profiles of commenters or the links in their blogroll and you go down the rabbit hole. I could easily spend hours on the computer with just one innocent click in a blog’s sidebar. Sometimes it’s a time suck, and sometimes you hit… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Meagan Kyla
Sometimes in the blogosphere, it just seems like more of the same. Every woman has a slightly different personal style, but with so many fashion blogs out there, you can grow tired of the same trends, same poses, same sameness.

Many also tell me that once they hit 30, they don’t feel that they can show their personal style at work because it won’t be seen as professional or serious. When I get such emails, I… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Audi
Sometimes you come across a blog that has a style completely different from your own but still you find it incredibly inspiring. So inspiring, you think of it often, and though you don’t wish to replicate her style, it affects how you shop, and how you think about clothing. That’s how I feel about Stephanie… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Interview with Stephanie Hoff Clayton

Sometimes you meet someone through blogging and wish you lived closer to them. You know that if miles didn’t separate the two of you, you’d be spending a lot of time together – maybe some shopping, maybe some drinking, and probably a lot of laughing. That’s how I feel about Erin from the blog Work… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Interview with Erin Dyan Johnson
