State of the Blog: Lord Help Us, It's February

Feb 1, 2010

It seems impossible that it is actually February, but alas, my calendar confirms that it is so.  

Valentine’s Day.  In honor of Cupid’s favorite holiday, Miss M, Beau and I are preparing a stellar Capitol Hill Style Date Week filled with posts on where to eat, what to wear and how to put a little spark into your V-day. And since chocolates, roses and lace undies are boring bordering on thoughtless, we’ll also feature helpful gift guides that will make your sweetheart swoon. 

So if you need an outfit, restaurant or lingerie recommendation (ooh la la) to spice up your holiday, write us at capitolhillstyle (at) gmail (dot) com. 

The Resale Salon Relaunch.  The Resale Salon re-launches this Sunday.  So if you have an item of gently used clothing (or several) that you are looking to part with, send a photo and description to the e-mail address above.  If you need more information on what kind of items that the Resale Salon accepts or what details you should include, click here.  Deadline for this week’s submission is 6:00pm Saturday.

Advertising.  Starting soon, Capitol Hill Style is going to start accepting advertising.  The animus for this is simply that I need to cover the costs associated with operating the blog, and hopefully make enough money to afford by growing vintage habit.  

Please understand that I take my commitment to providing unbiased information seriously, so you can rest assured that there will be no posts touting the joys of Uggs, Crocs or Vera Bradley no matter how much they pay me.  Okay, that’s not entirely true.  There’s a price, but I highly doubt they could afford me. *wink*

Our first advertiser will be local favorite, Coup de Foudre.  Ms. Lucas’ lingerie has long held a cherished place in my dresser drawers because pretty underpinnings are essential to feeling pretty on the outside.

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
