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.

November AMA: You Asked, I Answered

Another month has come and gone, and between a busy work schedule, illness and the search for new childcare, I almost forgot to ask for questions for the AMA.  Luckily, I remembered late last night.  So here we go. I always think it’s funny when people send rude or overly personal questions when I put […]

Gift Guide 2023: Stocking Stuffers, Pt. 1

I love stocking stuffers.  They are the best part of Christmas.  There’s just nothing quite like an affordable gift that’s funny or useful or chic (or maybe all three).  So here is Part One of my stocking stuffer gift guides, where nothing costs more than $30.

You Have, You Need: Camel Sweater Edition

In the name of fiscal responsibility, I’m taking a shopping respite through the end of the year.  When you write a fashion blog, not shopping is like being a person on a diet who moves into a McDonald’s.  But I’m determined to flex some self-discipline now that my holiday shopping is done.

Add to Cart: Five Recent Amazon Purchases

Since my daughter was born, Amazon has claimed so much of my money that I had to buy stock just to get some of it back.  Between the formula, onesies, fruit pouches, diapers, wipes, and ever evolving list of baby development gear, I could not survive without Prime.   My husband no longer notices the […]
