This week we bring back Monica Barnett, the image curator (read: image consultant for women AND men, extraordinaire), of BlueprintForStyle.com. Monica has helped clients from athletes to politicians revamp or find their style direction across the country. We were lucky to get to talk to her about style in our nation’s capital, where she currently lives. In this 10-minute video interview, Monica gives us the lowdown on how to describe fashion and style in Washington DC, where it’s going, what to pack, and where to shop.
One of the things that I love to do before I visit any city, no matter where it is in the world, is to figure out where I can squeeze in some good shopping. A little prep saves some time and adds to the excitement of my trip. So, in order to help you fabulous Travelistas out there, I am doing the research for you! Each week, we will feature a new interview with a store, designer or stylist in a different city to tell you straight from the experts’ mouths about hot fashion spots and trends where they live.
