Yesterday evening, the Woodrow Wilson House held its annual Garden Party fundraiser. Guests toasted with fresh  watermelon cocktails and enjoyed rooftop views of Washington’s Kalorama neighborhood. Lauren judged the hat contest, where  guests of all ages brought fierce competition for categories such as “most creative” and “best use of fresh flowers.”

Summer Silk

Posted on May 3, 2013

Recently, Lauren has been loving womenswear brand Ramy Brook, founded three years ago by fashion insider Ramy Sharp. These slouchy silk pants are a great summer staple–with the right shirt, they transition perfectly from a lunch date into a cocktail look.

Part II: Raiding the Closet

Posted on March 25, 2013

I love layering a crochet knit sweater over a maxi dress; it is perfect for days that take you in and out of the sun. For the second Rapunzel’s Closet look, I picked one of my favorite color combinations–blue and orange–and added my most essential flip flops: Tkees.

Snow Bunny

Posted on January 31, 2013

dsc_4784DSC_4794dsc_4811 dsc_4837D.C.’s bitter cold temps last week had us layering on the puffers, furs, & sweaters to keep warm. The rollercoaster winter weather we’ve had has certainly made for some out-of-place outfits–but we think this off-white ski bunny look would fit right in on the slopes.

Debut: Social Primer by K. Cooper Ray

Posted on September 13, 2012

Last Friday afternoon, menswear designer and Social Primer author K. Cooper Ray held a rather genteel presentation for the launch of his new line, Social Primer by K. Cooper Ray, at a beautiful private club in midtown Manhattan. Photographers and editors milled about the room, sipping scotch & sodas and poring over SP’s looks–artfully styled by Bruce Pask on a canvas of Dockers khakis, Lands’ End shirts, and Bass Weejuns & J.P. Crickets school slippers. (That is–the editors who got in–a few were stopped at the door for not adhering to the club’s tie-and-jacket dress code. Rules are rules.) Van’s own look of a Black Fleece madras blazer and knit tie was snapped by Christian Chensvold of Ivy Style. The ties retail for $125, bows at $75, but if you’re really looking to pledge the SP frat, pick up the red blazer (lined with a hunting scene) for $1,200.
