In Case You Missed It: New Store Adore Post

Want to know what sites Deacon is perusing this week? Check it out via our latest StoreAdore post, here. This week we feature South Moon Under, long one of our fave local chains.

In Case You Missed It: Net-a-Porter via StoreAdore.com

Some of you may not know that we write frequently for shopping site StoreAdore.com in addition to our regular Washingtonian and JuliB gigs. We've started a new feature, called Site of the Week, where we explore some of the nation's best shopping Web sites and highlight several must-have items.

We started out with a well-known but under-utilized treasure trove, Net-a-porter.com.

Check it out, via StoreAdore here - and don't forget to scour the local discount codes while you're at it for 20 percent and more off at local stores like Wink, Urban Chic, and SimplySoles!

In Case You Missed It: Spring's Statement Shoe

Deacon admits that he has homosexual tendencies when it comes to shoes. He's WAY more into them than any male has a right to be, and blames it on the fact that he grew up in a house full of women. His dad is embarrassed, as he thinks men should like things like golf and boats.

Still, nobody's going to hold our little pup down.

He's posted yet another article about footwear, this time on StoreAdore.com. Check it out!

Say Yum: Chocoholic

Deacon's got a sweet tooth, that's all we can say. Check our latest StoreAdore.com blog post, back after an extended holiday hiatus on a sweet new site!

In Case You Missed It: Vegas, Baby

Who wants to join me for a weekend in Las Vegas?

In Case You Missed It: Tucker Blair Designs Spotlight

Check the latest from StoreAdore.com - a spotlight on local designer Taylor Llewelyn of Tucker Blair designs.

Check it, here.

In Case You Missed It: Holiday accessorizing

Don't blow the bank on a dress you'll wear once. Spice up your outfit with shimmery accessories that scream "chic," not "New Years 2008."

Deacon's StoreAdore.com post has the deets.

Luxe Life: Holiday Gift Guide

Deacon is finally starting to think about holiday gifts, and can bet that you are too. We helped compile the fabulous Holiday Gift Guide for StoreAdore.com, which lists hundreds of awesome gift ideas from shops in the StoreAdore.com directory. Best of all, everything you buy comes with some sort of free gift or discount. This one gets two paw prints of approval!

As for us, we're making infused vodka for all of our friends and colleagues. Because what's better than tipsy fun this holiday season?

In Case You Missed It: New Store Adore Post -- Party with the Power Player

Saturday evening's gala at the Corcoran Gallery of Art was top-notch all the way around, but it did give Deacon some food for thought ... where do you go to find appropriate black tie wear? Neimans and Saks, sure ... but we weren't looking for something that every gal in town could sport.

Check out this week's Store Adore post for "Fashion fit for a Fete," plus a sneak peek at up and coming local designers ChrisKLA and BEA.

In Case You Missed It: Dinner Party Prep

Here's my latest from StoreAdore.com, talking about the dinner party I'm planning for Friday.

In Other News: Happy Birthday, Candles off Main!

Check this StoreAdore.com listing for deets on Candles Off Main's third birthday celebration. It's our favorite spot in Annapolis for candles, especially the impossible-to-find Scent of Scandal ones. We've permanently got the "Walk of Shame" (smell: early morning dew) burning during our morning showers - it's the perfect wake-up smell.

In Case You Missed It: Cozy in Cashmere

Brrr, it's cold in here. Deacon's warm (he's wearing fur, after all) but McLean is chilled to the bone. Check our latest StoreAdore.com post on where to find cuddly cashmere. (The one at left is from ShopBop.com)

You're Invited: Pink is the New Black

What can be better than 20% off at Urban Chic? 20% off when 5% of the proceeds go to charity, that's what. Sip bubbly and enjoy gratis apps October 16th (Thursday!) during their third annual benefit for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

We'll sadly be elsewhere (the Art&Soul opening) but it's definitely a worthwhile event. Best of all, you can visit either the Georgetown or Bethesda locales for your discount.

(Can't make it? FYI ... print this StoreAdore coupon to get 20% off any time you like).

Treats, not tricks ... that's my motto.

In Case You Missed It: Bootie-licious

Even rain can't keep me from shopping. This week's StoreAdore blog details my jaunt through East Hampton on a quest for new fall footwear.

(I'm exceptionally annoyed - the price on these flat boots went UP overnight!)

In Case You Missed It: New Store Adore Post

Let's just say that the fashion statements made at my (day job's) annual conference was abysmal, to say the best. Want to spruce up your own work wardrobe? Here's my weekly blog on StoreAdore.com. Tips included, obviously :-)

Stay tuned for an update on the Nanette Lepore opening party and some other fun updates when we emerge from the muck tomorrow!
