Shop 'Til You Drop from Washington to London

I've been pining for London this week, but if you need a fashion fix, you can't go wrong with a high-fashion event in Washington this week, either.

You probably just packed up your fall and winter clothes for the summer, but you had better start thinking ahead at a must-attend fashion event at the Studio Gallery in Dupont Circle. New York-based designer Cally Rieman of label Kal Rieman is bringing her Fall/Winter 2011 collection to Washington for a trunk show--but don't worry, the Spring/Summer 2011 collection will be available for cash purchase, too. Rieman's early career included designing menswear for H Hilfiger, and the menswear influence is evident in a collection that should definitely do well in the Washington market. I can't wait to see it!




Kal Rieman Sophia Reversible Vest, $660
This vest almost makes me want to skip summer.
And, if you do happen to be in London this week, you definitely won't want to miss the champagne and discounts at Aqua on Carnaby Street on Thursday. Aqua is a mid-priced chain boutique known for body-skimming silhouettes and skirts that are fit for Judy Jetson. I'll have to order online, but if you just so happen to be in London, stop by for 30 percent off.




Aqua Lobster Dress in Cream, $194


Aqua Enill Mini Dress in Tomato, $210.50



Aqua Wendy Dress in Black, $125

Wherever you are, happy shopping--and don't spend too much before the Memorial Day sales!
