TWICE AS NICE CONSIGNMENT

Standard

Good day fashion junkies and Happy Friday.

As some of you may already know, I manage PG County’s latest gem, Twice As Nice Consignment “where resale goes upscale”.

Twice As N ice Consignment carries designer wares from A-Z , Alberta Makali  to Ermenegildo Zegna. With Spring in the air and prom right around the corner Twice As Nice Consignment has a nice selection of evening gowns and wedding dresses, too.

Still haven’t visited the boutique, yet. Here are a few reasons to stop by this weekend…..

Why not consign?

At Twice As Nice Consignment, we sell new and pre-owned designer clothing, shoes and accessories for women and men.
We connect extraordinary items to new owners who restate them in their own way. Your once loved treasures can be a true gift to someone else, while making money in the process.

We suggest that our clients consign items that they place a high value on, but are no longer interested in wearing. Holding onto clothing that you will never wear again is like having money sitting in your closet instead of your pocket. We are looking for ALL SIZES, ALL SEASONS of current, trendy and classic styles.

If you are interested in consigning visit Twice As Nice Consignment, 7953 Central Ave., Capital Heights, Md., 20743, 301-350-2500. Metro: Morgan Boulevard

Tues- Fri 1pm-8pm, Sat 11am-5pm, Sun-Mon Closed

Some Good Reasons To Consign An Item:

  • This looked great on me years ago, but I haven’t worn it since then
  • I never really like this color  on me and I don’t think I ever will
  • Wow, this still has tags on it. I probably shouldn’t have bought it
  • I could use the extra money and take it to do more shopping

National Pillow Fight Day, Saturday, April 6

Standard

You’ve heard of (and are probably sick of hearing about) flash mobs, yeah?

 

Well this is a fluff mob: On International Pillow Fight Day, would-be combatants around the world meet in public places to pummel one another with pillows. In Washington, the National Mall (near the Smithsonian Castle) will be the scene of the action at 3pm on tomorrow. Bring your concealed, non-feather pillows and wait for your cue to start swinging.

GRYPHON… a winged monster with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.

Standard

Image

A private affair was held at Gryphon this Tuesday. Grand Opening to the public was on Wednesday.

DC’s young professionals sampled the menu at Gryphon…Dupont Circle latest swanky sports bar.  The alligator bites, grilled cheese with tomato soup,  bison burger were just divine.

I linked up with HU finest Carlisle Sealy and Doug Kammerer , Chief Meteorologist, forecasting the weather weekdays on    News4 bringing viewers the most accurate, complete weather information on air and online. It was quite a treat.

The upside was the service was FANTASTIC, our server Heather was very attentive and down to earth. The manager Jordan was also very engaging. The down side to me was it was too many flat screens!  Meanwhile back at the ranch it is a SPORTS BAR (very cozy and intimate). I know, you don’t hear those words in relation to sports bars to often.

After this event we headed over to a staple in the  U Street community Darnell’s Bar Lounge  and had more libations, wings, mac n cheese and good vibes… A treat for the week.

Check it out… conveniently located across from Dupont (South) Metro.  Grand Opening to the public was on Wednesday.

DURO OLOWU at JC Penny’s

Standard

Hello Life Junkies…

Let’s talk about a color collision then you must say Duro Olowu.

Since arriving on the London fashion scene in 2004, Nigerian-born Duro Olowu has impressed the right people with his vibrant mix of African prints, seventies tailoring, and unlikely color combos.  A high-waisted patchwork boho dress—known as the “Duro”put the brand on the fashion map, and became a cult item in 2005 after being discovered by American Vogue editor Sally Singer and Julie Gilhart of Barneys. Now in 2013 he has his first collaboration with JC Penney.

Don’t sleep Penney’s also has collaborations with Pearl Georgina Chapman of  Marchesa & Cosabella Amore.

All I can say is you know I am a sucker for good tailoring and anything with a retro vibe. I am on my way to Penny’s.  Oops it’s not pay-day, yet. LOL.

However, the line is very affordable starting at $10 -$90…I can swing that. I am not one to spend a lot to look like a million bucks.. A fashionistas’ secret weapon. And did I mention the First Lady has Duro on speed dial. WERK

The line features his signature mashup of riotous prints, wild colors, and fresh shapes applied to clothing, shoes, and accessories, as well as home goods, notebooks, and luggage.

THE PERFECT FIT

Standard

If you are built anything like me a size 12/14 blouse (bust 36DD) and a 5/6 bottom; you know the need for an atelier.

Bowanddrape.com,  is the awesome new custom clothing site. Armed with knowledge of body type, color, proportion and necklines you will be sure to get the PERFECT FIT.

The service can be a bit pricey but worth every penny. It’s an investment like a great purse or virgin hair extensions’.

Splurge. Live a little.
