RIP Century Girl

May 14, 2010

It’s been a rough week, but Doris Eaton Travis’ passing is bringing another tear to our weary eyes. If you haven’t read up on her life yet, I highly recommend the visually stunning Century Girl.

One Last Go

April 27, 2010

Ok, I know we’ve been gushing about fashion:district since it happened but I just had to post this last group of pics from TPWP…they really capture the essence of the event. Marshall really kicked ass with this batch.

Music for Lovers: Cry Me a River

March 16, 2010

Um, sorry for that cheesy title. Check out a mini-review of the shop in today’s Express. Unfortunately, the price was printed wrong: the vintage clip-on bowties pictured are $32 each.

Vintage Vault: Sole Survivor

August 13, 2009

Fall is just around the corner, which means closed-toe shoes (sad). This also means you’ll be unpacking your winter heels and boots to face a new season of gravel, mud, rain, snow, sleet, cobblestone, brick and asphalt. The best way to make your vintage shoes last is regular maintenance. Winter outfitting usually includes making sure [...]

Music for Lovers: Hurt So Good

August 12, 2009

Ignore for a minute the fact that Susan Cadogan seems to be a mile away from the microphone and hone in her awesome bustier jumpsuit, beautiful hair and fanciful earrings. Plus this song is perfect for summer.

Style Inspiration: Yma Sumac

July 31, 2009

Yma Sumac has inspired us this season and beyond. Discovered via the incredible Jigsaw, there’s nothing in these looks we wouldn’t support. The weighty metal jewelry, the headpieces, the woven layers–we’ve tried to offer similar touches at Treasury. Outlandishness can really be appreciated in the fashion world and we support those going all out! Piling [...]

Washington Wizard: Good Wood

July 30, 2009

What we love about Good Wood is the absolute variety we see every time we step into the store (which is often). It’s not just farmhouse chic, or industrial heaviness, or mid-century focused. It’s all those styles and more. Whether we need to find an old dentist’s cabinet, a huge wooden navy trunk or a [...]

Music for Lovers: Aaron Broomfield

July 29, 2009

Our friends Beautiful Swimmers rocked some Aaron Broomfield at our opening party and we’ve been hooked since. The copper leggings, the pretty much shirtless cowbell player in the back with blue pants and the all-out tux are really doing it for us.

Style Inspiration: Library of Congress

July 22, 2009

The Library of Congress Flickr stream can be a source of endless inspiration. These are from a set called “1930s-40s in Color.” Excellent! As for the DCers, visiting is pretty cool…though instead of getting books down for yourself like at a normal library, you put in requests and professional expert librarians get the books for [...]
