We are so happy to be part of Mid City’s Third Thursdays! Come in this Thursday for 10% off your purchase when you bring two cans of food for donation (benefits Martha’s Table).
Loving the blurry, faded look of this video. And of course, all the wonderful people in it Fall fashion always reminds me of mixed paint blurring together…all the warm colors wrapped around one’s body trying to keep out the cold. Of course this video had to compete with the awesome loudness of the fashion in [...]

We’re so happy that our friend Erin Considine has launched her own webshop and has been featured by Daily Candy! ! Treasury will be putting out more pieces from Erin this weekend, so stop by to see the new designs, including earrings.
A study in videos: and This. But I couldn’t embed it so here’s the remix: Points of interest: Long gloves, tight leotards and long, shoulder-dusting earrings from Pat. Mariah’s career-defining and fashion-legend making DIY–cutting her jeans’ waistband out. The crochet top doesn’t hurt either…as for the remix, it’s Mariah at her best: American Apparel’s template [...]
I recently had the pleasure of seeing Michael Gira perform again and it reminded me of the power of consistency. This is a man that has been wearing big hats and suspenders for a good chunk of his career. There is something to be said for maintaining an image and controlling it as an artist. [...]

We’ll have a $5 (!!!) summer sale bin on the sidewalk, reductions on summer stuff upstairs and homemade ginger lemonade! Saturday 12pm-8pm and Sunday 12pm-6pm! Here’s the map for the whole Dog Days area, it’s [...]
We were bummed to hear about DC Mini Gallery running into some trouble. But there is hope for them to remain open and functioning! Spread the word! p.s. We covered their opening here.
OMG why are these sooooooooo awesome: Organic cotton and recycled tires…made for each other in a Liberty print. Totally in the vein of these oxford favorites:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone that came out to support Treasury on our opening weekend. We owe a lot to the awesome fashion community of DC, our friends and family and of course our customers! You have all helped us realize our dream to bring a vintage boutique with an [...]
We open at noon on Saturday!! Thanks to our lovely and artistic buddies, Kathleen and Ashby for the making of our signage. And thanks to Renee for designing the inspiration.
Community Forklift is a non-profit that salvages and sells building materials. We can’t believe it has been around since 2005 and only now is it a part of lives. Why are you people keeping this a secret?! Is this the sort of place that cool carpenters keep to themselves? We must come together and support [...]
We just wanted to thank our buddies and supreme DC movers and shakers at Pandahead and Don’t Say I Didn’t for their Listopad mentions here and here!!! We really appreciate it and are flattered to be on the minds of these DC culture warriors!
Our weekend at the beach was traded in for some hefty labor at Treasury’s future spot! How do you make a pvc pipe look cool? Black paint! We went to Community Forklift this weekend! It was such a thrill and inspiration for us to find old building materials to reuse and repurpose. More about this [...]
This is by far the best Origami paper I have found in this city, at Hana Market. Check out the patterns! Aren’t they delightfully pretty? I wish I could make a wardrobe out of these patterns and wear them on my boat on a breezy day. Also, I wish I had a boat.
Ok so I know it’s not cool to like the Smashing Pumpkins post Siamese Dream, but in the waning ’90s I couldn’t help but be enchanted with Adore. I blame Yelena Yemchuk. The imagery in the album itself, the videos, the whole gothic wilderness scene pre-empted FIT and Rick Owens (who owes D’Arcy some serious [...]
We love reading the Bodkin blog for all the deep thoughts a fashionable lady can have regarding the production of clothing and its relationship to our environment. The options for ecologically-minded fabrics seem to be expanding exponentially lately, but we often find while hunting down vintage that a lot of pieces from the 1970s onwards [...]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_n7cftdkl0] More Egypt-obsessing from us here at Listopad…this time it’s a ’90s take on the classics: gold jewelry, white tunics and jesus sandals–truly the best elements for a carefree summer wardrobe.
Officially I have five siblings. Unofficially, I have seven. It’s those long lost sisters, Emily and Anna, that fascinate me the most. There was a time they both lived near my mother’s house in Silver Spring. Anna, raised partly by my father, may have lived with us at one point. Emily, though she was my [...]
Sorry, we’ve been busy. In the meantime, consider the best dressed person to the Costume Institute’s Gala last week: Class act.
