We Can Hardly Wait!

We don't know what to be more excite about, the movie itself or the fact that we get to see Anna Wintour express emotion.

It's a Man's World

Ladies, while we have the fortunate opportunity to don cute summer dresses and sandals (only as walking shoes) to work. We have to admit that we feel sorry for our male counterparts who must still be dressed in their 9-5 best. Because we love you guys (pun intended) so much we have decided to compile some summer style tips that will keep you cool (yes-we know-pun intended):

1. Keep it light- Fellas, it is time to put away the wool suits and break out the cotton. Invest in cotton or chino suits that are still professional but are made of lighter material.

2. Color me Bad- Resist the urge to wear a dark suit. We know the old adage "black attracts heat." Invest in tan and cream suits.

3. Tie me up- Wear ties that are summery and fun but still office appropriate. Try colors such as light blue and peach.

4. If the shoe fits- Cole Haan makes awesome dress loafers that are cool and comfortable but still very professional.

5. Lay it on me-Many of you have to wear blazers to work. Place a nice dress shirt and vest under your blazer that way when you leave work for the evening happy hour you can toss the blazer and still have a polished look under.

And if all else fails, there is always searsucker...we kid we kid.

Keeping You in Mint Condition

As one store closes another opens. It is no surprise that in the midst of a recession consignment shops have become the best thing since sliced bread. On June 18th, Mint Condition opened its doors to eager Alexandria residents. The boutique owner, Toni Henderson boasts an array of cosigned designers from Catherine Malandrino to Gucci. What is best about this shop is that once you cosign with them they split the profits with you fifty-fifty. That's enough to make us flock to Virginia.

Mint Condition is located at Mint Condition, 114 South Royal Street, Alexandria (703-836-6468 or shopmintcondition.com

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye
