Sunday Brunch on U

Last Sunday, my girlfriends and I went to El Centro for a solid three hours of bottomless brunch and unlimited food (all for $35!). 

Every piece of my outfit just so happened to be from Nordstrom. I've developed a habit of buying and losing cheap sunglasses and B.P Nordstrom has the cutest sunnies- all of which are festival friendly(yay). Check them out here: http://bit.ly/170xIMO

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday funday!! Enjoy the beautiful weather!!

Last week I attended GANT's Spring/Summer 2013 collection viewing party at their newly opened store in Georgetown (DC). We were treated to delicious hors d'oeuvres and an open bar featuring DC Brau Brewing Company. Not to mention the attractive GANT guy hosts walking around in their GANT outfits: DC United star midfielder Chris Pontius, Bibiana Executive Chef Nick Stefanelli, Thrillist.com DC Editor Leo Schmid, 94.7 FRESH FM Radio Host Tommy McFly and SUSTG's Lucien Zeigler. 

As you can probably already tell (second photo), they represented GANT well!

GANT's spring/summer collection was filled with rich colors, clean lines and bold patterns. Their line screams high-end Americano-cool style. I have a feeling GANT will fit in perfectly in Georgetown and I look forward to my next visit!

Thank you for reading!
