Serious Shoe Sale and more at Treasury

(These shoes are from Tari, not Treasury. But still. Shoes.)

Treasury is having a Serious Shoe Sale. Shoe sales deserve caps, thinks your girl blogger. From their e-mail:

We are so excited for spring that we’ve introduced a new sale! 

For the rest of the month, we’re marking all our shoes (boots, heels, loafers, sandals, everything!) 

in-store 50% OFF!

PLUS we’re starting a jewelry sale until Valentine’s Day: 

20% OFF that special stuff for your loved ones (excluding consignments). 

As always, we are ready to help you find the perfect gift.  

Hours and such: Treasury Vintage and Curios

Winter coats half-off at Treasury

Word on the e-mail subscription street is that Treasury is having a sale this weekend: 30 percent off everything but jewelry. It gets better: every single coat is half-off through the end of the month. It's certainly worth a look.

When you're done thinking about winter wear, check out Pantone's "official" color for 2011: Honeysuckle. The Goodwill Fashionista has some examples of where you can already find this shade, which could also be called "magenta," "light fuschia," or my personal favorite, "pink."

Whatever you call it, this color is not hideous in my book. I just don't think I can wear it. Perhaps shoes and accessories for us pinkish pale ladies.

H. Darling holds pop-up shop in Logan Circle (photos)

I met Hadiya at sewing class at Ginger Root Design earlier this fall, and she recently got in touch to tell me about an event she was holding: a pop-up shop at Veranda, a bar/restaurant just off Logan Circle.

Well of course I had to stop by.

The sale was small, with two racks of clothing and a table of shoes and accessories. But several women rifled through the racks that offered both big-name labels and locally-designed items. The event gave Hadiya a chance to clean out her closet while promoting her personal shopping services and supporting a local designer whose name I have misplaced and will have to edit in later.

I scored a pair of gray Gap dress pants that I think Hadiya may have worn once. Knowing they would have been at least $60 new in the store, I was more than willing to pay $25 for an immaculate, pressed pair.

By the way, Veranda was the perfect spot on this sleepy Saturday afternoon. Friendly staff, plenty of room at the bar, and they welcomed a few patrons who were reading books and Kindles at the counter. Aww. That's sweet.

Photos after the jump.

Weekend events: Vintage all over

From Hella Tuff's Facebook album

There are so many events this weekend for nostalgic dressers that it will be pretty easy to track me down. That's not an invitation to follow me. But it is an invitation to say hello if you run into me at any of the following:


Goodwill Holiday Travelin' Trunk Show at Caramel: Friday from 5 to 8. Don't forget to bring some clothes to donate; you'll get a discount to use at Caramel. Goodwill's selections will be moderately priced, as usual.


Hella Tuff Basement Boutique opening: Saturday 11-5. Stop by and welcome all this new vintage goodness to our lives. (We'll have a Q & A with the seller posted tomorrow.)


Midcity Holly-days: Saturday and Sunday on U Street and in the general vicinity. So many great local shops and restaurants are involved. And in a neighborhood that's so into vintage, it's sure to be worth a browse. 


Vintage at Veranda: Release--Featuring hand picked, designer vintage threads, shoes and accessories, Vintage @ Veranda on December 11, 2010 will have something for everyone. Tired of the same 'ol same old?  Spice up your wardrobe with designers like Chanel, Gucci, Valentino and more at prices you won't believe!  Ladies, this is the perfect spot to find that one of a kind piece for your scheduled holiday functions.  Guys, H.Darling is working hard to have a few threads on deck for you as well!


That should be plenty to get you started this weekend. If you know of other events worth checking out, give a holler.
