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…
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…
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. So when you come across a blog like The Ravenous Creator, it is like a…

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…
Today’s True Fashionista is Catie Nienaber – blogger, writer, business owner, and lover of vintage fashion. When I thought of the True Fashionista series, I knew I had to include her. I have seen her personal style develop over the years, and knew others would find it as inspiring as I do. Catie is another…
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…
