We spent a lovely Sunday brunching with fellow "bloggeras" at Busboys and Poets and then at Studio 85 for their "Drop By and DIY Collar" event--- it felt like a little girl's birthday party! (in a good way)   Owner Tamika had tables full of studs sequins rhinestones and glue waiting for us to exercise some creativity (and our fingers-- studs are no joke!).  I loved the vibes of this place-- Studio 85 is more than just a boutique, it's a community gathering space.  Finished off the day by heading to the Degas exhibit at the Phillips Collection-- seriously feel blessed to be surrounded by so many great people and events in this city!

Weakness for Sequins

You know the way emus are attracted to shiny things? That's the way I am with sequins.  This shirt is great because it combines a really casual fit (think of your brother's  v-neck sweater) with silk and incredible beading detail.  

Now I just need to stay away from those emus...
