greetings from DC!
i am so happy to fill in for hannah while she is jet-setting around, living the fabulous life while the rest of us are left with nothing to do but look at pictures of asian babies and french bulldog puppies on the internet.
I’ll admit I was a bit rusty…unfortunately, my blog fell victim to this annoying thing called getting a job where i am required to work at work and at least fourteen hours a week of law and order: svu. Now all my spare time is devoted to pinterest and the fine detective work of the 16th precinct. I can’t imagine what my nineteen followers are doing now…
where are they getting their daily dose of anorexic supermodels in indian headdresses hard-hitting journalism and current events?
...
...
anyway—enough about me! I’m doing a post about washington, dc because it’s a cool city and a post about clothes was taken.
(i mean, just look at this picture...)
i am always surprised when people tell me they’ve never been to dc. i’ll spare you the guilt trip about how IMPORTANT it is to visit the CAPITOL of your NATION where you LIVE and how PROUD you should be of this truly AMAZING place—and focus on some other cool things about the city.
Most of the pics are of Georgetown because I happen to believe Georgetown is one of the coolest areas in the district and that’s where I live and my boyfriend wouldn’t take me anywhere.
m st.
when my parents first dropped young intern-emily off in dc, they made the mistake of driving straight down m st. in georgetown. unfortunate because traffic is m-i-s-e-r-a-b-l-e on m st. no matter what time of day and because once I saw the cobble-stone streets and the j crew that looked like monsieur defarge's wine-shop—
I was never going to leave.
i’ve since graduated from j crew—but I haven’t lost my appreciation for the architecture and charm of georgetown. not unlike charleston, a lot of homes and storefronts in georgetown are regulated by an architectural preservation board and have to adhere to specific and stringent building guideliZzzzzzz…oh my god I’m sorry, I fell asleep.
Anyway—if you are interested, you can read about how the super awesome apple store in Georgetown was rejected by the Old Georgetown Board five times here.
Below are a few more georgetown gems...
