Winnie Wears What

All I need now is a headscarf, a convertible, and a beach vacation.

Cutler & Gross shades from J. Crew: the perfect combo of '40s frames and '60s flower-child shape (though to be practical why not go to the vintage shop for sunnies with a story rather than spend $460 on shiny new ones that are just as likely to end up at the bottom of the kennel bag covered in Denta-stix crumbs?)

These boots really swing!

If your boots don't attract playful cats this fall, you're hopelessly out of date!

ACNE's Pistol Short Boots

Etienne on 19th NW

2011-07-12T20:30:00.001-07:00

Etienne doesn't let a bike commute on a hot day affect her look: she stays super cool with a 70s style!

Liz on Q NW

2011-07-12T20:29:00.000-07:00

I'm digging (no pun intended. Well, maybe a small one) Liz's retro look complete with big sunglasses and bold lipstick!

Borrowing from the boys: bowties!

2011-07-11T10:38:00.001-07:00

With the rate that women's fashion is taking over menswear, pretty soon the jockstrap will be the only item of gender-specific clothing. And that's fine with us!

this look should come with UV protection.

2011-07-11T10:36:00.000-07:00

With this look, you'd never know mama's long-time catch phrase was "ooh! It comes in grey!"

Ngalla

2011-07-10T18:38:00.000-07:00

Whenever Mama abandons her heels in favor of her comfy flats, I am going to show her this picture! If Ngalla can brave the DC jungle in these super-booties, 2-inchers are nothing!

G'nite, all!

2011-07-09T22:03:00.000-07:00

Happy (belated) 4th!!

2011-07-05T21:36:00.001-07:00

Mama and I hope you all had a happy (and illuminating) 4th!

Put a bow 'round it!

2011-06-29T20:38:00.001-07:00

The bow-tie branches out!

cool cats love retro hats!

DC women--and men--leave no detail untopped when it comes to their outfits; on Saturday everyone was sporting trilbies, fedoras, newsboys, and wide-brims, even mother/daughter duos like our friends Jessie and her daughter Emma! If only they made a trilby that fit over these ears of mine (and stayed on after multiple body wiggles, scratchings, squirrel races, and lightpost/streetsign/grasstuft sniffs).

Mama's new necklace is bananas. And thanks to Gwen Stefani, I can spell that.

2011-06-23T17:34:00.000-07:00

This is one of mama's more interesting thrift store finds. Hell, I"ve never seen such beauty. Bananas? On a string? With beads? Hello Prada SS2011!

Anna at Irving

2011-06-22T17:37:00.001-07:00

We stopped Anna because I was loving her combo of leopard, lace, and polka dots! Bringing a little wilderness to the ladylike!

Keisha in Cumquat Coach (near the Capitol)

2011-06-19T19:26:00.000-07:00

Y'all know I have a soft spot for shoes (since they're at my eye level) and I especially love bright eye-catching footwear like this! I literally stopped in my tracks!

Auntie Jane

2011-06-15T19:52:00.001-07:00

My auntie Jane on her way home from a long day at work; I'm loving her Mondrian-esque skirt and her oversized Fendi clutch, not to mention she gives awesome belly rubs!

Maggie--Dupont Circle

2011-06-14T19:07:00.001-07:00

Miss Maggie's look is equal parts adorable, fashion forward, and geek chic! And she's super nice, which is the best accessory, I believe.

While killing some time at Barney's we discovered this little number, the Bunker Tote, by Helmut Lang. Now I love me some Helmut, but I need a "Helmut" to protect my head from the 2x4' of obviousness I'm being smacked with.

The question: boobs? or bajingos? or both?

Makes the flesh color of the leather all the more unsettling, doesn't it?

I'll be ordering this look in my size

Hoodie (street) + canvas jacket (classic) + button-up/cuffed pants (menswear) + oxfords with socks (Rizzo from Grease) = the perfect outfit for rainy day walks in DC! I love that this is from Organic John Patrick's resort line; mama and I prefer cool misty mountains to heat-drenched beaches. Very un-chihuahua of me.

If only they made this look in pup sizes…

Gladiators invade Anthropologie...

2011-06-08T18:22:00.000-07:00

in search of asymmetrical bias-cut drapey tops, no doubt.

I love Ms Nicole's sandals: how often do you see Greco-Roman meet southwestern?

Our nifty neighbor!

2011-06-08T18:15:00.000-07:00

Check out our stylish neighbor in her pretty prints!

Lauren

2011-06-08T17:47:00.000-07:00

While on 11th we spotted lovely Lauren, who was kind enough to pause for a pic! I’m lovin’ her pastels, sharp lines, and awesome ‘do!
