de*nada

Because it's cold and all I can think about is how to stay warm, I've got de*nada on the brain. de*nada is the brain child of Virginia Blanca, and is a locally based online boutique that specializes in handwoven knits. I've been a fan of de*nada scarves for quite some time, probably going on over 2 years now (I cyberstalk her website regularly).  At a recent Hugh & Crye-WGIRLS DC event in Georgetown, a handsome gentleman walked in looking deliciously sophisticated and with a strong resemblance to Bradley Cooper (swoon!).  I noticed him because he was handsome (of course) and because of the awesome hooded cowl scarf he was wearing.  I watched from across the room before making up my mind to go and ask about the scarf.  As it turns out, the scarf was made by de*nada. Unfortunately, I did not make up my mind to ask about the Bradley Cooper resemblance but I did immediately decide the hooded cowl would be going on my Christmas list.  Take a peek at it and a couple others below.

Hugh and Crye

I've been hearing about Hugh and Crye for a while now on the DC Style radar but last week I finally decided to visit their website to find out what they're all about.  I was pleasantly surprised when I read their company profile to find that they're not just another company trying to schlep a European styled dress shirt off on the American public.  They've actually come up with a very unique and original way of sizing men's dress shirts, which you can learn more about here.  Here are a couple I've decided to buy as gifts for the lucky men in my life. Think they'll like them as I much as I do?
