Spicy Candy DC for South Moon Under Lookbook

Photobucket

We are so happy to finally share a really exciting projects we've been keeping under wraps for a few months now -- our collaboration with South Moon Under on their first ever blogger styled lookbook!  The decision to collaborate on this project was no brainer for us because we have been HUGE fans of South Moon Under for a long time now.  Their support of our DMV blogger community and super chic selection of merchandise completely won us over.  So when Taylor (the amazing marketing mastermind of SMU) approached us with the possible idea of a collaboration, we were thrilled!  After a few email exchanges and endless ideas on how to execute this lookbook, we decided to take it back to where it all started for their brand -- Ocean City, MD. We fell in love with their story and decided to create a lookbook that represents the fun, free-spirited, chic essence of SMU while simultaneously showcasing our unique personal styles.  In other words it's how we would style, wear, and channel SMU on any given day....except with a little more flare and funk (it is a lookbook shoot after all)!!!


Of course, delivering a product of this magnitude is no easy task ... so to ensure our creative concept comes alive the same way we picture it in our heads, we had to call one of the best photographers in town (who also happens to be one of our really good friends), Marshall Johnson of TPWP.  We know that his skill + our creative energy and passion for what we do will result in a lookbook we will be proud to present to you and SMU on March 19th!  


Definitely stay tuned this weekend as we will be releasing our first video teaser of this collab (shot by Marsahall) and of course do expect us to go insta crazy via twitter  -- who doesn't love some behind the scenes action!?  Finally, a huge huge huge 'thank you' to all of our readers and blogger friends for you constants support, and to SMU for believing in us and for giving us the creative freedom to do what we love doing most.  We LOVE you guys!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting a really fun and healthy networking brunch with One Medical Group -- a big thank you to all of you who attended and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.  When One Medical reached out to us a few weeks ago and asked us to host this event as part of their DC outreach efforts, we knew it would be a great opportunity to get our incredibly stylish friends and supporters together, enjoy a fun brunch, and learn about One Medical's chic offices.  And yes, we did say chic, not a term you'd usually use for a Doctor's office, but since we had an opportunity to experience their Eye street office and online system first hand, it's definitely a term that perfectly describes their one-of-a-kind practice.  If you haven't checked them out yet, we definitely urge you to do so, you'll be happy you did! ;)

Tuesday marked an important milestone in DC fashion -- it was the one year anniversary party of CapFABB!  Liz, Lacey and the rest of the leadership team did a wonderful job putting an elegant event together at Cities Restaurant sponsored by H.Bloom.  We really enjoyed the DIY flower bar and got a little carried away with the photo booth ;)  It was wonderful to hear everyone congratulating Liz and Lacey on their success (as if it were their wedding haha) and thanking them for starting this type of community for all of us to be part of.  It is hard to believe we've only been members for a little less than a year because the friendships we have made already feel like a lifetime.   Cheers to all of us "CapFABBers" to another year of great events, fashion, photos, and fun moments together!

A Pop of Neon

Blouse & Sunnies:  H&M
Collar: DIY
Leather Pants: South Moon Under 
Boots: Charles David
Bag:  Vintage 
I planned this outfit around my very first DIY aka my neon collar. I first thought to wear it with a white button down shirt but after trying it on with this blue sheer blouse, I thought the combo looked better. The fur vest was enough to keep me warm for a semi warm day in Feb! I also can't get enough of my heart shape sunnies, aren't they fun?

Lippie:  YSL 07 
I'm not going to lie, I'm a big fan of black because it's classic, easy to style, and always a good option for "when you have nothing to wear". But I've been trying to add more color into my wardrobe lately, so figured to spice things up by incorporating this hot pink bodysuit and lippie into my look. Also, I love the leather feel of these J Brand jeans, it's like wearing leather but a lot more comfortable. I find it hard to wear leather when it's not too cold outside, definitely not an easy fabric to wear during a mild winter.
